Directors Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino screened footage from their new exploitation double feature Grindhouse today at the 2006 Comic-Con International. The 5 minute clip titled Planet Terror opened with the same Technicolor type opening that Kill Bill had. This film was shot digitally however the film is grainy with a very "campy" feel. Tom Savini is playing a sheriff and he hears some weird noises coming from his police car. He then realizes that the prisoner that he had captured has escaped. The clip screams on as Savini has a finger bitten off – then we transition through effects to a shot of Rose McGowan running around missing a leg while the film’s lead Freddy Rodriguez gives her a table leg as a stump. The clip progresses into a scene of Rodriguez engaged in a knife fight zombie-like creatures.

According to the director, these things look like zombies but they are not. Rodriguez kills a few of them and then as more descend upon him he runs up the wall, does a Hong Kong style flip and we burn into a shot of Rodriguez outfitting McGowan’s stump with a machine gun. Then they are next seen on a motorcycle as McGowan shoots the creatures that jump in their way.

After this we were treated to a faux trailer for a movied called Machete with Danny Trejo, a rough biker character that wears a long trench coat lined with long knives and swords who kills bad guys and gets all the girls.

Tarantino, whose slasher movie Death Proof (the second of the Grindhouse features) starts shooting in about four weeks, told attendees at the Con that he always wanted to make a exploitation film that lived up to the cool poster artwork that accompanied most of the vintage exploitation movies. "We're going to make two, sleazy grindhouse movies that will deliver on the posters… and beyond!" said Tarantino. "This isn't some Twilight Zone the Movie f**king thing. This is not a faux double feature. This is two f**king movies for the price of one! You're $10 will be well spent at the Grindhouse, baby!"

Rodriguez said the Planet Terror shoots were solely at night and that he is talking with John Carpenter about providing music for the feature.

Tarantino also added that he would like to make two anime Kill Bill prequels. The first would be an origin film about Bill and his mentors, while the second would be another tale including The Bride.
