...orderly refers to as a "no-brainer ... her brain's scooped clean out of her skull." Rose McGowan, who's the movie's cynical, go-go-dancing heroine, loses most of her leg to the zombies. "I ain't never seen me a one-legged stripper," observes an evil guy played by Tarantino, "an' I been to Morocco!" Soon, but not soon enough given Tarantino the actor's tendency to slaver, the guy's genitals turn to goo and he gets a stick in the eye - the wooden stalk McGowan's been hobbling on since the amputation.

It wasn't until the exploitation movies of the '60s and '70s--the ones paid lavish tribute in Grindhouse--that the gals in guy-genre films finally had something to do: take charge, kick ass and kill people. The films weren't exactly feminist, since the actresses usually had to take off their blouses before they could flex their muscles. But they gave women a snarly, ballsy attitude, and the chance...
