Comparison wise, I'd say it's best to use both movies as a gauge, since it is a double feature.Planet Terror (1st movie) vs. Sin City- Much more violent, and gruesome violence. It's all full of over-the-top gore horror, so if you don't like that, you might not enjoy this. I'm not a big fan of gore horror myself, to be honest, but this was so over the top and such an homage to the old horror films of the 60s/70s that I enjoyed it. The writing and acting was top-notch, too, so that helped. I'd go to see Grindhouse again just for Planet Terror alone, actually.Death Proof (2nd movie) vs. Pulp Fiction- an apt comparison, as Death Proof is very definitely a Quentin Tarantino movie. It isn't terribly violent- though it has one or two places where it is so- it is very, very talky though. They could have cut out about half of it, IMO, and made a more solid piece. It has some really cool characters and interesting exchanges of dialogue, but someone needed to take QT's pen away, I think.The trailers vary in scope, ranging from pretty violent but in a tongue in cheek way (Machete), to more suggestive (Thanksgiving and Don't!), and not very violent but odd (Werewolf Women of the SS).</blockquote>
