The first paragraph is Rodriguez's Planet Horror. Films that are purely tribute to the B-level films in the 70s, including zombies, plasma flying around with them, various cool props made out of nothing, and "missing reel" appearing in passion scenes, etc... stunt Full. The most interesting thing is that when Cherry and Wray were kissing, the director moved the camera from Cherry’s sexy back to more sexy buttocks, then her thighs, and finally stopped the camera on her wooden stick legs. The red wooden stick slammed straight to the ceiling, and everyone in the movie theater sprayed... The section where Wray rushed to the hospital to rescue Cherry was similar to the action design in Sin City, cool or cool, but slightly less fresh. Another bad taste of Rodriguez seems to be to equip people with guns in strange places. For example, the guitar gun from the past in Mexico. Here we simply put the machine gun on Cherry’s lap, which can make people laugh when I look at it... It's more humorous, but I can't remember it all... The only downside is that the rhythm of the film is not very smooth. Of course, this is also part of the tribute to the b-level film...

The second paragraph is Quentin's Death Proof. I like this one more than Planet Horror. Except because I am (professed) Quentin Tito, the more important point is that I think Rodriguez's movie has always been a tribute to him, and he took off his hat so many times that we couldn't see his real face. Quentin's section is very clean and tidy. Luankan-chasing-longer Luankan-super chasing is very good. Although I have to admit that the long conversations between the women are quite a bit like a cloud of five miles, but the super car chase that follows really makes me uncomfortable. This kind of relaxation and rhythm control is very Quentin's style. I remember that in the vulgar novel, the black market boxer and the underworld boss are tied up in the basement, and the tool shop owner slowly opens the locks one after another, and finally releases the sex slave who laughs to death. It is the same feeling. It’s worth mentioning that Zoe, who has a New Zealand accent, used a long wooden stick to stabbed the bad guy to the part called the mother, which made people too high, and the last three women dragged the bad guy out of the car and beat him up. The ending is also super exciting. Another interesting little detail. At the beginning of the bar, there is a tree middle finger poster of country music master Johnny Cash, with the big letters: "Cash Only!", ha ha.

The last thing I have to say is the fake commercials interspersed in the middle, which are very fun and more interesting than the positive ones. What is slightly lacking is that there is a section of Nicolas Cage that spoofs Chinese styling, the name is "Fu Manchu"... Although Fu Manchu (Fu Manchu) can be regarded as a more famous evil character in American novels and movies in the past, this one has something to do with it. The role of racism came to the big screen again, and it was still a little uncomfortable. But since it's a spoof, let's take a bit of a big country mentality and laugh it off.

I want to score 5 stars for Quentin's one, but Rodriguez's one makes me think it's better to have 4 stars with reservations.

To be more wordy, I watched the trailer for Die Hard 4 in the cinema, looking forward to it! ! !

    Cherry: Fuck no.

  • Cherry: Look, you were being an unbelievable dick. I was walking out on you. I was cold, I took your fucking jacket. So, if you're go on one of your psycho, obsessive, controlling rants about a fucking jacket, then fucking take it 'cuz I'd rather fucking freeze than fucking hear about it one more time.
