I really liked PLNAET TERROR ? it was everything I imagined it would be, which is a lot more than I can say about DEATH PROOF, which I thought was very over-long and self-indulgent.
That said, I bought the Japanese release of Grindhouse (6 disc set encompassing the original GRINDHOUSE cut of both films and a bonus disc and DP and PT with bonus discs). DEATH PROOF works a lot better shorter. It's still no masterpiece but it's certainly a lot more slick. PLANET TERROR on the other hand, seemed to suffer in its shorter incarnation ? the extended, stand-alone version is definitely better.
