Planet Terror (DVD, 2007, Extended Director's Cut; 2-Disc Set)

A highly creative film (that was fun, cringing, and difficult to watch) that incorporated all the elements that you would expect from ten cult movies ranging from an exploding head, a chipped tooth, amputation, dislocation, blood, gore, puss, dislocation, foreign objects embedded in bodies, a child (Rodriguez's kid, Rebel) introducing a bullet into his own head, and yes, a melting member.

I'm a big fan of blood and gore, but Robert Rodriguez has really pushed the envelope with his latest body of work. It may have been too much...way too much for me.

Watch out for the Machete trailer prior to the start of Planet Terror with fan favorite Danny Trejo (Desperado, From Dusk Till Dawn, Con Air, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories), Jeff Fahey (Psycho III, Darkman III: Die Darkman Die), and the beloved Cheech Marin (Desperado, From Dusk Till Dawn, Lion King, Once Upon a Time in Mexico). Efforts in the two-day shoot of this parodied trailer have given birth to the actual film of the same title that is now in production (2008).


Cherry is zipping up the boot of her right leg when she says "I need a dramatic change in my life". Her right leg is also the same leg which is later amputated.
