DVD Review: 'Planet Terror' Extended and Unrated

Planet Terror
2-Disc Extended and Unrated Edition
Written and Directed by Robert Rodriguez
Cast: Rose McGowan, Freddy Rodriguez, Marley Shelton, Josh Brolin
The Weinstein Company
On sale: October 16, 2007

An unrated and extended version of Death Proof, the Quentin Tarantino-directed portion of theatrical double feature Grindhouse, will be released as a 2-disc DVD on September 18, 2007, by Genius Products and The Weinstein Company.

Nearly 30 minutes longer than the original theatrical version, the Unrated Extended cut includes footage never-before-seen domestically, including the conspicuous "missing reel" of Vanessa Ferlito's lap dance, and a black-and-white segment in the second "act" offering a prelude to Kurt Russell’s Stuntman Mike character...continue reading this article at Geeks of Doom!
