Which 2007 double-feature film paired Death Proof with Planet Terror?

The story behind the answer

Which 2007 double-feature film paired Death Proof with Planet Terror? The double feature was Grindhouse.

Grindhouse united Quentin Tarantino’s Death Proof and Robert Rodriguez’s Planet Terror in a deliberately old-fashioned theatrical package. Released in 2007, it recreated the experience of repertory grindhouse cinemas, where audiences might see exploitation films, battered prints, trailers, and other sensational programming in one sitting.

Death Proof follows Kurt Russell as Stuntman Mike, a killer who uses a reinforced car to target women. Planet Terror is Rodriguez’s zombie-like horror spectacle, centered on survivors including Cherry Darling, played by Rose McGowan. Between the two features, the presentation included fake trailers directed by filmmakers such as Rob Zombie, Edgar Wright, Eli Roth, and Rodriguez.

A frequent source of confusion is that the two segments were later released separately in many international markets and on early home-video editions. That does not change the name of the original double feature: Grindhouse refers to the combined presentation. The theatrical version runs for more than three hours and was intentionally designed as an immersive exploitation-cinema tribute.
