Making Of Planet Terror

Earlier on, I kidded my wife that I had actually ordered the above package and, for just a few seconds, we almost had a real Grindhouse situation on our hands. Still, it's not bad for just £53!

  1. I need that Japanese set in a very bad way...I am most curious to hear your thoughts on the films. I definately prefer DEATH PROOF but adored PLANET TERROR as well..

  2. Can't wait to see these films. I have them on my Lovefilm list (this is our equivalent of Netflix) and greatly look forward to seeing them.
