Product Description
Product Description
Directors Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez present two full-length movies in a new horror double feature. In Tarantino's "Death Proof," Austin's hottest DJ, Jungle Julia, sets out into the night to unwind with her two friends Shanna an Arlene. Covertly tracking their moves is Stuntman Mike, a scarred rebel leering from behind the wheel of his muscle car, revving just feet away. In Rodriguez's "Planet Terror," two doctors find their graveyard shift inundated with townspeople ravaged by sores. Among the wounded is Cherry, a dancer whose leg was ripped from her body. As the invalids quickly become enraged aggressors, Cherry and her ex-boyfriend Wray lead a team of accidental warriors into the night.

Loud, fast, and proudly out of control, Grindhouse is a tribute to the low-budget exploitation movies that lurked at drive-ins and inner city theaters in the '60s and early '70s. Writers/directors Quentin Tarantino (Kill Bill) and Robert Rodriguez (Sin City) cooked up this three-hour double feature as a way to pay homage to these films, and the end result manages to evoke the down-and-dirty vibe of the original films for an audience that may be too young to remember them. Tarantino's Death Proof is the mellower of the two, relatively speaking; it's wordier (as to be expected) and rife with pulp/comic book posturing and eminently quotable dialogue. It also features a terrific lead performance by Kurt Russell as a homicidal stunt man whose weapon of choice is a souped-up car. Tarantino's affection for his own dialogue slows down the action at times, but he does provide showy roles for a host of likable actresses, including Rosario Dawson, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Rose McGowan, Sydney Poitier, and newcomer Zoe Bell, who was Uma Thurman's stunt double in Kill Bill. Detractors may decry the rampant violence and latch onto a sexist undertone in Tarantino's feature, but for those viewers who grew up watching these types of films in either theaters or on VHS, such elements will be probably be more of a virtue than a detrimental factor. Rodriguez's Planet Terror is a rollicking horror/sci-fi/action piece about a plague outbreak that turns citizens into cannibalistic murderers; it's heavy on the gore and explosions but also features a terrific cast of A players (Freddy Rodriguez, Naveen Andrews, Marley Shelton) and B-movie vets (Michael Biehn, Jeff Fahey, Tom Savini) and the indelible image of Rose McGowan as a stripper whose torn-off leg is replaced by a high-powered machine gun.- Paul Gaita
Set Contains:
Before purchasing the Grindhouse Collector's Edition Blu-ray, fans should consider how much they love this film. Why? Because the version of Grindhouse presented here is the theatrical release, not the extended versions on the stand-alone discs, so if you want the extra scenes from both films, you'll need to hang onto the individual Blu-ray releases in addition to this two-disc set. However, if you do describe yourself as a Grindhouse devotee, you'll want this set anyway, since it contains a wealth of new extras, all previously unavailable in the United States, including commentary by each of the filmmakers who contributed the faux trailers that played between the films: Eli Roth and Jeff Rendell (Thanksgiving), Rob Zombie (Werewolf Women of the SS, which is presented in an extended version), and Edgar Wright (an extended Don't). The trailer for Hobo with a Shotgun, which accompanied the Canadian release of Grindhouse, is also included, as are making-of featurettes for each of the trailers. Speaking of featurettes, the Blu-ray offers behind-the-scenes looks at the cars of Death Proof, the make-up effects of Planet Terror, a 20-minute talk with Tarantino and Rodriguez for The New York Times, and the 2006 Comic Con panel with the cast and crew. The only extraneous bit is a 10-minute cooking school "class" with Rodriguez on making Texas-style barbecue. --Paul Gaita

disclaimer: these movies are not for the faint of heart.. if your familiar with Dimension Extreme, Quentin Tarantino, Rob Zombie, or Robert Rodriguez, then you know what im talking about. but if not then i recommend you google them before buying this blu-ray..
The transfer is gorgeous as is the sound. I can't fault the quality in any way. Yes there are blemishes, scratches, burn outs, and other assorted film artifacts, but this is EXACTLY as the filmmakers wanted it. They were going for the 70's double feature exploitation vibe transporting you to a time when these battered canisters of film played nonstop for months on end.
For those who think the extended versions should have been included in this release please recognize two things. First, the extended releases were only created to make up for the lack of box office numbers due to the confusion average movie goers experienced. Second, the runtime of the extended editions combined would be insane (excluding the trailers). Grindhouse in its theatrical version ran for 191 minutes (3.18 hours) which pushed the limits of even die-hard movie fans. The two extended versions (Planet Terror 105 + Death Proof 113) would run for a whopping 218 minutes (3.63 hours) and doesn't even include the trailers.
If audiences couldn't stomach the original version then what makes you think they could handle even more material with less charm? Seriously, those fake trailers hit many people's joy buttons hard enough to green light 2 films based on the 1st one alone.
(tl;dr) If you loved the theatrical version of Grindhouse then snag this Blu-ray ASAP. If you didn't understand the film's goals when it first came out then please stop complaining about this incredible release and go watch something else.
