{{work}}

 

A 2007 double feature film by [[Robert Rodriguez]] and [[Quentin Tarantino]], intentionally sending up the 1970s [[B-Movie|B-Movies]] that played in theaters, complete with the cute little coming attraction and in-betweener cartoons.

 

''Planet Terror'' - A military transaction turns chaotic as a poison gas is released onto a rural town of Texas. There, the unknowing civilians turn into blood-thirsty zombies. The only people who can stop them is a Go-Go-Dancer with a gun for a leg, her expert gunman ex boyfriend, the crazy babysitter twins, a [[Heroic BSOD|shellshocked]] doctor, a [[Jerkass]] cop, a crusty sheriff, a scientist obsessed with balls, and a whole bunch of other trailer-park freaks deep in the Heart of Texas.

 

Also contained a variety of [[Real Trailer, Fake Movie|fake movie trailers]]. All of these trailers either have been, are in the process of, or being considered [[Defictionalization|getting made into an actual feature film]].

* ''[[Hobo with a Shotgun]]'' -- [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]]. Hobo takes the law into his own hands. Made by a couple of independent filmmakers from [[Canada|Dartmouth, Nova Scotia]]. This one was also [[Defictionalization|turned into]] [[Hobo with a Shotgun|a full-length movie]]. Many other indie trailers were made and considered at the South by Southwest Film Festival, and although this was the one featured in the film, a lot of the others (visible on [[YouTube]]) are pretty good, too.
