We want the whole movie, Robert. Framgrab from the "Grind House" trailer featuring Robert Rodriguez' "Planet Terror".

The trailer for Grind House: Planet Terror, starring Freddy Rodgriguez, Rosario Dawson and Danny Trejo, is up on YouTube. You recognize Danny Trejo, right? He's appeared in over one hundred movies, some directed by his cousin, Robert Rodriguez. The 62 year-old Trejo turned from a life of drug addiction and doing time in "every prison in California", to being a drug counselor and the most recognizable "bad guy" in Hollywood. That tattoo on his chest? His wife. (trailer via I Don't Like You In That Way)
