Planet Terror and Death Proof are the two films in this effort, the first a Robert Rodriguez effort and the second by Tarantino. The name grindhouse recalls theatres in the 1970s that screened exploitation films.
Planet Terror has recurrent violence and gore, along with off-the -screen castration. The zombies are spawned from a military gas leak, and once infected, your face gets hideous growths preliminary to dropping off. The infected and the military have their own agendas at cross-purposes to the protagonal group of survivors that we follow.
The highlight has to be when "Cherry", whose leg is amputated, processes into service an automatic rifle that serves as a prothesis when she is not mowing down the assorted riff-raff.
Planet Terror is fun if you can withstand the violence and gore.
Death Proof has more structure, and although it may seem to try to have more substance, it never arrives at it as the story revolves around a different kind of violence.
The antagonist is Kurt Russell who once he has a muscle car ready to go searches for his victim from the local hot women. There are two iterations, the first he simply hits head-on, killing all of them, and the second he runs off the road and rear-ends. After having done this he laughs uproariously. For him it's a kind of game, the lethality and his long hospital stays notwithstanding.
The second group of women survive and shoot him and beat the stuffing out of him , so there's that.
