Grindhouse (film)

"As the outbreaks survivors - including Michael Biehns gruff cop and Marley Sheltons runaway lesbian doc - band together to fight the toxic zombie hordes, Rodriguez barely stops for breath. Gone is the talky slow-burn of Tarantinos Death Proof; this is utterly, insanely relentless. It probably winks at the audience too often to be mistaken for a real grindhouse effort (Bruce Willis as a slimy mutant monster? Cmon). Still, it (dis)gracefully pays homage to a time when horror movies were shabby, disreputable and much more fun than todays vanilla outings. Its just ironic that Rodriguez has spent millions recreating what exploitation filmmakers like Lucio Fulci and John Hayes used to knock out for peanuts. Theres a lesson in there somewhere..."

"Incensed at what I heard, I told Rose that she was not blacklisted from MY movies and that Harvey couldnt tell me who to cast. The reason was that Harvey didnt work on my movies, I made movies all those years for Dimension and Bob Weinstein. So I explained that if I cast her in my next film, Harvey couldnt suddenly tell me no, because my first question would be "Oh, really? Why cant I cast her?" And I was sure he would not want to tell me why."

"Doctor Block: Im gonna eat your brains and gain your knowledge."

"Doctor Block: Self preservation comes to mind."

"Quentin Tarantinos "Death Proof" and Robert Rodriguezs "Planet Terror" play as if "Night of the Living Dead" (1967) and "Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!" were combined on a double bill under the parentage of the dark sperm of vengeance."

"CGI for car stunts doesnt make any sense to me—how is that supposed to be impressive? [...] I dont think there have been any good car chases since I started making films in 92—to me, the last terrific car chase was in Terminator 2. And Final Destination 2 had a magnificent car action piece. In between that, not a lot. Every time a stunt happens, theres twelve cameras and they use every angle for Avid editing, but I dont feel it in my stomach. Its just action. ~ Quentin Tarantino]]"
