What's left behind the scenes
- Mickey Rourke, Sylvester Stallone, and Wing Rames were considered for the role of Trickster Mike.
- Zoë Bell, who played Zoë in 'Proof of Death,' performed all the stunts in the film herself. She also served as Uma Thurman's stunt double in 'Kill Bill'.
- The events of 'Proof of Death' take place before 'Planet Terror'.
- Quentin Tarantino named the character 'Jungle Julia Lucai' after his assistant, Vicky Lucai.
- Some of the music for "Planet Terror" was borrowed from the films "Escape from New York" (1981) and "The Evil Dead" (1981).
- The word "Vipers" is written on Mary Elizabeth Winstead's costume. This is a reference to the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad (DiVAS) in "Kill Bill".
- To explain what grindhouse films were, Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez organized a screening for the cast and crew of "Torso" (1973) and "Zombie 2" (1979) with several old grindhouse trailers shown between the films.
- The idea to film grindhouse movies belonged to Robert Rodriguez, and the idea for the fake trailers belonged to Quentin Tarantino.
- One of the television series mentioned by Stuntman Mike is "The Virginians" (1962), in which Kurt Russell played one of the roles.
- The missing reel in "Death Proof" likely contains a lap dance performed by Vanessa Ferlito for Kurt Russell. Footage from this scene can be seen in the trailer, but it is absent from the American version of the film.
- Canadian cinemas showed five fake trailers instead of four. The additional short – "Hobo With A Shotgun" – was filmed by independent Canadian director Jason Eisener and won first place at the SXSW Grindhouse fake trailer competition.
- Michael Parks, who played Sheriff Earl McGraw in "Planet Terror" and "Death Proof", also appears in the same role in "Kill Bill" (2003) and "From Dusk Till Dawn" (1995).
- Robert Rodriguez wrote the first thirty pages of the script for "Planet Terror" in 1998.
- The two cars in the final chase of "Death Proof" are a 1969 Dodge Charger and a 1970 Dodge Challenger.
- Trickster Mike has a scar near his left eye. Snake Plissken, also played by Kurt Russell, wore an eye patch over his left eye.
- The character Freddy Rodriguez's name, El Rey, is a reference to the town the main characters in the film 'From Dusk Till Dawn' (1995) were headed to.
- It took Eli Roth two days to shoot the trailer for 'Thanksgiving'.
- Eli Roth shot the 'Thanksgiving' trailer while in the Czech Republic, where he was filming his new movie 'Hostel: Part II' (2007). Jay Hernandez and Jordan Ladd, who starred in 'Hostel: Part II', also appeared in 'Thanksgiving'.
- The scene where the girls are having breakfast in a diner is very similar to the opening scene of 'Reservoir Dogs' (1992).
- The 'Thanksgiving' trailer is a parody of the 'Halloween' (1978) trailer.
- The music playing in the 'Thanksgiving' trailer is part of the original soundtrack to 'TerrorVision' (1982).
- In the second half of 'Dead Proof', the scene where four girls are talking in a diner was shot in one take. It lasts approximately 10 minutes.
- In 'Dead Proof', one of the songs on the jukebox is Misirlou. This composition also appears in the opening credits of 'Pulp Fiction' (1994).
- A poster reading 'Support Our Troops' can be seen in the hospital.
- In "Warren's Bar" in "Proof of Death", you can notice a "CASH ONLY" sign featuring a famous photograph of Johnny Cash giving the middle finger.
- In the "Machete" trailer, Danny Trejo throws knives at people in a limousine through the car roof. He does the same in "Desperado" (1995).
- Edgar Wright's trailer for "Don't" is a tribute to the trailer for the film "Torso" (1973). Towards the end of that film's trailer, the word 'torso' appeared more and more frequently on the screen, just as the word 'Don't' appears in Wright's video.
- Rebel Rodriguez, son of Robert Rodriguez, played Tony Block.
- According to Quentin Tarantino, he played one of the zombies attacking Stacy Ferguson's character.
- Significant scratches and bubbles only appeared in the 1970s at the end of the reel, but not during the course of the entire film.
- The idea for 'Death Proof' came to Quentin Tarantino when he was talking to a friend about buying a new car. Tarantino was considering a Volvo because he “didn't want to die in a car accident, like in ‘Pulp Fiction’ (1994).” Regarding car safety, Tarantino’s friend said: “You can buy any car and give it to stuntmen who, for $10,000-$15,000, will make it absolutely safe for the driver in any accident.”
- In 'Death Proof,' Rosario Dawson's character drinks soda from a cup with the logo of the Mexican restaurant Acuna Boys. An advertisement for this restaurant appears during the break between 'Planet Terror' and 'Death Proof.' Acuna is the name of the town where 'The Musician' (1993) and 'Desperado' (1995) were filmed. In 'Kill Bill: Volume 2' (2004), The Bride drives through Acuna to find out where Bill is hiding.
- The instrumental version of Jack Nietzsche's 'The Last Race' plays during the opening credits of 'Death Proof.' This composition also plays during the opening credits of 'Village of the Giants' (1965).
- Robert Rodriguez’s working title for the film was Project Terror.
- The working title of Quentin Tarantino's film is Thunder Bolt.
- The license plate number of Mike the Stuntman's car is JJZ-109. The same number was on Steve McQueen's character's car in the film 'Bullitt' (1968).
- In the trailer for 'Machete,' one of Machete's victims is the lead singer of Tito and Tarantula. He also played minor roles in 'Desperado' (1995), 'From Dusk Till Dawn' (1996), and 'Once Upon a Time in Mexico' (2003). All of these films were directed by Robert Rodriguez.
- Mike the Stuntman’s cars are a 1971/72 Chevy Nova SS and a 1969 Dodge Charger.
- John Carpenter was originally supposed to compose the music for 'Planet Terror'.
- Both directors deliberately "aged" the films to simulate movies that were shown in grindhouses.
- "Proof of Death" contains several references to "Pulp Fiction" (1994), including the "Kahuna" burger and a foot massage.
- In the scene where Earl McGraw (Michael Parks) feeds his wife, a photograph of Parks on a motorcycle from the television series "Then Came Bronson" (1969) can be seen.
- This project was conceived as a tribute to double features in grindhouses. However, in the early days of its release, many viewers left after the first film, forgetting about the second. Therefore, in many cinemas, after the first film ended, staff reminded viewers not to forget to return for the second feature.
- Rose McGowan's former fiancé, Robert Rodriguez, who directed her in "Grindhouse" in spite of Weinstein, believes that the actress's scandal with an abuser was the main reason for the failure of his project. He knew about McGowan's 1997 rape by Weinstein and understood that her path to mainstream cinema, to which Weinstein’s company was somehow connected, was closed off.
- A car with girls crashes into a movie poster for "Scary Movie 4" (2006) and "The Cave" (2004).
- In a conversation between Abby, Zoe, Kim, and Lee, we learn that Abby's boyfriend cheated on her with Daryl Hannah's stunt double. Monica Staggs, who played Lanna Frank in "Proof of Death," was Hannah's stunt double in "Kill Bill" (2003) and "Kill Bill Volume 2" (2004).
- In the uncut European version of "Proof of Death," in a wine store, Kim says she needs to go to the bathroom. Lee and Abernathy respond: "That's a little more information than we need to know." This is a reference to "Pulp Fiction" (1994), where Uma Thurman says the same thing to John Travolta.
- Michael Parks' character calls his son "Son Number One." He does the same in "Kill Bill" (2003).
- Mickey Rourke, Sylvester Stallone, and Wing Rames were considered for the role of the Trickster Mike.
