Just when you thought you couldn’t love Dendy any more, they are releasing the Rodriguez – Tarantino Grindhouse double feature in all it’s blood-soaked, car-crashing, gun leg-totting glory. Other cinemas may have committed a faux pas by releasing them separately but Dendy knows better. They are screening it the way it was meant to be seen: both films, uncut, on 35mm print with intermission and the “trailers” (by directors such as Eli Roth, Edgar Wright and Rob Zombie).
In Tarantino’s Death Proof, Kurt Russell plays Stunt Man Mike, a murderous has-been out to do some damage with his bad ass wheels. Rosario Dawson, Eli Roth and Rose McGowan all appear in a visual who’s who of cult cinema. It has the token wordy dialogue we have come to expect from the man but when he does it so well, it’s hard to blame him for lingering in a scene. Throw in a soundtrack that will melt your face off and the film charges full speed ahead into your top ten list.
Rose McGowan also returns in Robert Rodriguez’s Planet Terror as a Barbarella-esque exotic dancer caught in the middle of a zombie outbreak. Mmmm sleazy, B Grade appeal!
