I enjoyed both movies but I definitely liked Planet Terror more. It was more of a true grindhouse movie/tribute than Death Proof was, DP felt like a regular old Tarantino flick except with more pointless dialogue. The end of Death Proof almost made up for the first 2/3rds, I was laughing and cheering. Almost but not quite, the conversations had some mildly amusing bits occasionally but as a whole didn't move the movie forward or flesh out the characters. Kurt Russel was awesome though, got to give him that.
I enjoyed Planet Terror the whole way through, plus I was glad to see Naveen Andrews as one of my favorites from Lost. With the cheese and excessive gore, I was laughing the whole way through. Especially Spoiler: that little kid, everything he did was hilarious from his "I will eat your brains and gain your knowledge" quote to the way he died. I'm sure it was making fun of all the horror movies where the kid lives through the most improbable stuff. Any other movie would have had that kid shoot 6 zombies and live to the end.
The fake previews were awesome as well, my favorite is easily Thanksgiving. There was one point in it when the whole theater went "Agh!" and cringed. People who saw it know what I'm talking about. Machete takes a close second though, I love Danny Trejo.
Either way, this double feature comes highly recommended if you're a fan of cheesy, gory, violent movies!
