Grindhouse
Grindhouse is a Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino double feature consisting of two feature films (also released separatley) Death Proof and Planet Terror among with fake trailers directed by Rob Zombie, Eli Roth, Edgar Wright, Robert Rodriguez and Jason Eisener. Quality of all the segments, including main films and fake trailers was specially scratched, blurred, etc. to create a real grindhouse feel, so moct of the screen caps also contain such quality.
Feature film segments
Machete
Machete is the first fake trailer seen in Grindhouse as well as being featured on the Planet Terror DVD release. It was directed by Robert Rodriguez and starring Danny Trejo as the title character, a Mexican assassin who exacts revenge on the ones who betrayed him. The trailer also featured Jeff Fahey and Cheech Marin. A feature film based on this trailer will be released in theaters in 2010.
Interdynamic KG-9 / Intratec TEC-9
After the senator hires Machete, the camera pans on several guns. This scene is similar to Escape from New York, which John Carpenter directed. Robert Rodriguez also uses music scores similar to John Carpenter themes during the film (and even one theme from Escape from New York). Interdynamic KG-9 / Intratec TEC-9 (which was used in another Carpenter film - Big Trouble in the Little China) clearly visible.
Colt Carbine
Sniper rifle used by Machete (Danny Trejo) in the senator assasination attempt is Colt Carbine.
Unknown Sniper Rifle
Unknown rifle used by the corrupt senator's henchman to shoot Machete in the shoulder.
Mossberg 500
Father Del Toro (Cheech Marin) using two sawed-off Mossberg 500 shotguns to kill senators henchman as a help for Machete.
Smith & Wesson 3000 Shotgun
The Priest (Cheech Marin) also holds a Smith & Wesson Model 3000 Shotgun - 12 gauge.
M134 Minigun
Machete is seen using M134 Minigun mounted on a bike.
Machete's Jacket
Machete using special jacket full of machete and other model knives.
Don't
Don't is a fake horror (very british horror, similar to the Hammer films, but mixed with a slasher motives) trailer directed by British director and starring, among others, Wright's favorites Nick Frost and Simon Pegg as "The Baby-Eater" and bearded cannibal in glasses. There's actually no firearms in the trailer, at least obvious, but the movie takes place in the old mansion and there can be rifles hanging on the wall, or something - the quality (with all of those specially made scratches and blurrings) can just hide them from the unarmed eye.
Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is a fake slasher trailer directed by Eli Roth, parodying such holiday themed horror films such as Halloween and starring Michael Biehn, Jay Hernandez, Eli Roth himself and his childhood friend Jeff Rendell as the serial killer known as the Piligrim. The situation with the firearms is very similar to "Don't", it's unclear is there any firearms, but there's even more possibilities to spot the gun somewhere - one scene with a Thanksgiving parade and they're usually guarded by police.
Werewolf Women of the SS
Werewolf Women of the SS is a fake Nazisploitation trailer directed by and featuring not only the B-Movie cult stars such as Udo Kier, Tom Towles, Sybil Danning, Bill Moseley, Sheri Moon Zombie but also Nicolas Cage (who as a favor for director acted in his sequence for free) in a surprise cameo as Fu Manchu.
The following weapons were used in the trailer:
Mauser Karabiner 98k
Mauser Karabiner 98k rifles were seen in the hands of the German soldiers guarding Death Camp 13 and also in the archive footage which shown with the text in the beginning.
MG42
An MG42 general purpose machine gun was seen in the hands of the German officer (played by Michael Deak, special make-up artist and actor, who collaborated with Rob Zombie on his previous and next films), transformed into werewolf. The same shot of him firing the gun was seen three times in the film.
MP40
Though being one of the most infamous weapons of Nazis, here it can be glimpsed very briefly in the hands of the same werewolf.
Walther P38
Walther P38 (muzzle flash is hiding the barrel, so it quite difficult to say what it is actually) seen briefly in the hands of Lt. Boorman (Tom Towles).
Hobo with a Shotgun
Hobo with a Shotgun is a fake action film trailer directed by Canadian filmmaker David Eisener and featuring David Brunt in the title role of thr hobo turned vigilante. This trailer won the "South by Southwest" contest put on by Robert Rodrigue and was featured in some select screenings of Grindhouse in the United States and Canada as well as DVD release of the movie. This trailer is also currently being made into a full length 2010 film with Rutger Hauer as the title character and Brunt in cameo as the cop.
Ithaca Model 37 20-gauge shotgun
Hobo (David Brunt) used an Ithaca 37 20-gauge shotgun, bought in the shop, to kill various criminals, including corrupt cops, shop robbers and a pedophile in Santa Claus suit.
M16A1 Rifle
The prostitute/hitman girl (Cadence Macmichael) is seen firing a M16A1 Rifle.
MAC-10
Strange machine pistol, most likely MAC-10 without magazine (so that it looks a little like Micro Uzi) is seen twice in the movie, used by mugger in the shop and the same hitman girl, that used M16A1 Rifle (though, she's in the different costume).
Beretta 92FS
One of the muggers uses a Beretta 92FS, that hardly can be identified, because of quality and specially made scratches/blurrings of the trailer.
M1911
The Pimp (Mike Jackson) is seen with original M1911, while screaming to hitmen, that he wants Hobo dead.
