This article currently has one or more unidentified weapons. If you can help identify any of the weapons labelled "unknown," please do so.
Planet Terror is the first half of 2007's Grindhouse double bill which includes Death Proof. The horror film was directed by Robert Rodriguez, and follows a group of survivors that struggle to escape a town filled with inhabitants infected with a deadly virus. Planet Terror was released on DVD separately with additional scenes added and featured a mock trailer for a revenge film called Machete, which was subsequently expanded into a full theatrical film released in 2010.
The following weapons were used in the film Planet Terror:
Deputy Tolo (Tom Savini) uses a Ruger Security Six revolver with Pachmayr grips at the hospital. Sheriff Hague (Michael Biehn) hands one to Wray at The Bone Shack (it changes to a Colt Python after leaving on the pocket bike), while Cherry hands him a Smith & Wesson Model 586. Both are flashily twirled.
A Single Action Army is used by Earl McGraw (Michael Parks). It is amazingly seen firing seven shots when he uses it against the infected Dr. Block (Josh Brolin). Director Robert Rodriguez notes on the DVD commentary that he purposely added the seventh shot in the sound mix.
A Smith & Wesson Model 10 HB is used by two police officers when the infected attack the police station.
