Error creating thumbnail: File missing Planet Terror (2007)
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 :
Handguns
Colt Python
Sheriff Hague (Michael Biehn ) carries a 4 inch stainless Colt Python with rubber grips as sidearm throughout the film. Deputy Tolo (Tom Savini ) also uses a similar Colt Python outside the police station. During that scene, at the hospital and at the Bone Shack, both Hague and Tolo’s Colt Python switches to a 4 inch stainless Ruger Security Six in a continuity error back and forth. Wray (Freddy Rodriguez ) is given a Ruger Security Six by Sheriff Hague at The Bone Shack it where it switches back to a Colt Python and he uses it through the end of the film.

Director Robert Rodriguez notes on the DVD commentary that Michael Biehn asked him if there should be a shot of him reloading.

Gun Case
In the police stations armory several shotguns and rifles are seen.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing From left the right. A Mossberg 500, Winchester 1894, two Mossberg 500's. The last firearm in the rack is a shotgun and it appears to me to be a Winchester Model 12 from the barrel, magazine tube, and how they are attached to one another. The first to last is a rifle of some sort. It almost appears to be a M1 carbine derivative.
