And this is the selling point of the movie: a beautiful go-go dancer who lost her right leg to zombies had a rifle gun to replace her lost leg. And she goes rat-tat-tat-tat-tat and kaboom to the zombies, together with the surviving human beings.
Story? about a experimental bio-weapon that was released by the military at a small town in Texas, which turns human beings into zombies. Cherry, a go-go dancer, lost her right limb to the zombies in a road accident with her boyfriend Wray. When Cherry was send to the hospital, they saw several people infected with the virus. Dakota, a lesbian doctor, was shocked to see her girlfriend torn into pieces with brains ripped out by zombies.
Soon, the virus spreads like wild fire and turns Dakota's husband, William, into a zombie. While Wray was mistakenly taken by the police for being the suspect of mutiliating Cherry, the zombies attacks the police station and together with Sheriff Hagen, Wray come to Cherry's rescue.
All surviving human beings hide themselves in a BBQ Ribs restaurant, which ends up in a big fire due to missing reel (Note: Rodriguez do this to bring the gridnhouse cinema culture to moder cinepelx, with scratchy prints, discoloured prints and missing reel, which causes a chunk of the story goes missing.) Together, they kill any zombies among the road by running them over with a truck and firing at them.
When they were captured by the military, they have to escape from the military base using a chopper. And here's where the fun begins: Cherry had a rifle attached to her right leg, and fires at zombies. And oh yes, when the base explodes, Cherry was blown off and she flies, and shoots a bomb at the zombies.
It is ridiculous, bloody disgusting, full of gore and ulitmately delicious. It might be seen as a crap, but Rodriguez has churn out a A+ trash. Compared to the recent D- Malaysian horror Zombi Kampong Pisang, which critics wonder if that is a horror or a comedy or both or neither, Planet Terror has totally beaten Planet Horror.
But Malaysian fans who are expecting Planet Terror to be released in Malaysia might be disappointed, for it might not make it to cinemas due to strict censorship ratings and favourism of Malaysian movies.
Sigh...think i would just stick to pirated DVDs if the movie fails to reach the cinemas in Malaysia.
