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

Not the right discs in this re-pressing
When I opened up this box, I noticed something weird. It had a Planet Terror Disc 1 (obviously from the 2 disc Planet terror release) and a disc of Death Proof. Check out the pictures. The top is this Amazon purchase from Lionsgate's 2022 re-press. The bottom is the 2010 version of the same set.Both claim to have the same set of features with both films on the first disc as the Theatrical Exhibition. It's only true in the old release which I found at a second hand store. This new version doesn't even have the trailers that were a major part of this double feature or really any of the bonus features for Planet Terror (as those would have been on disc 2 in the Planet Terror 2-disc set).It's got to be a manufacturer error, but I see I'm not the only one in these reviews with the problem. Lionsgate, fix this! Would be a great price if you get what you ordered.

I review the fist part of grind house before but wanted to review this re release of both films on one blue ray and all the fake movie commercials before and after the movie, well except for machete they ended up making that into a movie. And I heard Eli Roth was going to make thanksgiving day eventually. But on to the review. If you don't know what it is about or have not heard anything about it. It's a throw back to the early eighties or late seventies exploitation films. Back then you could go to a theater and sometimes see a grind house film and sometimes their would be a couple of really cheesy and cheap horror movies back to back. This is a throw back to those days with two horror movies made with two different directors. The first Planet Terror directed by Robert Rodriguez (Desperodo, Sin City) and the second film Death Proof Qunantin Tarantino (Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, Django Unchained, Hateful Eight) . Before the first movie even starts out there's the fake commercials of upcoming movies which awesome to and very humorous. The first film is Planet Terror which is my favorite. It's also the most over the top. A quick run down with minor spoilers. A small town gets polluted by a green gas that's causes people to turn into zombies cause by a army experiment gone wrong led by a army colonel (Bruce Willis). Now it's up to a Go Go dancer (Rose McGowen) and her boyfriend (Freddy Rodriguez) to say the day. As the town gets over run by zombies. Very over too gore and not to be taken very serious with one legged machine gun go go dancers. A lot of surprise cameos from Josh Brolin, Quentin Tarantino, Micheal Bien Ect. If you like over the top gore, and practical gore effects you well love this film. Off to the second film after some more humorous coming attractions previews. Their Death Proof by Quentin Tarantino. Staring stunt car Mike. A sadistic serial killer who kills women by means of his stunt car. Still a very entertaining movie just slow in certain parts, doesn't have the same fast place as planet terror but still a solid film in its own rights. Like any Quentin Tarantino film there's a lot of dialogue which is good or bad but here just seems to really drag in certain areas but somehow in the end adds to the story. But his film is more down to earth and more realistic than planet terror. Still both films are a blast! Such a cool and fun experience. A must have for any horror fan. Check it out if you havnt.

Wow, i cant believe what ive just seen.. im literally writing this review right after watching this. the credits are rolling as im typing! i need to tell my fellow amazonians about this great blu-ray. ok so its 2 movies in one basically. Planet Terror and Death Proof. planet Terror is about a virus that spreads and turns a bunch of people into "zombies".. pretty much a standard zombie flick story line as in its just about survival.. but its better because its by Robert Rodriguez which means it has some crazy action in it. not to mention that the main character in the movie, loses her leg, but its later replaced by a freakin rifle and she goes around kicking a$$ like that lolol! but as good as that movie was, Death Proof was slightly better. This one is about a stunt driver, who for some reason, enjoys killing innocent women with his car, but later he tries to kill this group of girls that prove to be a bit more that he can handle.. in other words, he messed with the wrong group of chicks and pays quite the price.. the best part of Death Proof was the ending. thats was what left me speechless and led to me reviewing this immediately.. another thing that i enjoyed was the old school sort of feel to these movies. and what i mean by that is that they look like those old black and white films that have been made into color films and they have those movie projector lines showing up on the screen every now and then.. it makes it seem as though your watching it a drive in movie theater. in my opinion $18.00 for two movies is wayy worth it. and besides all this, you also get a whole separate disc full of bonus content and extras.

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..

5.0 out of 5 stars A misunderstood diamond in the rough
Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2014

Grindhouse was a film that was misunderstood from the moment it debuted in theaters and reading many of the reviews here I see that it's still suffering from the same fate. The Blu-ray version of Grindhouse in its original chopped up, missing reels, fake trailer glory is what I was eagerly anticipating since first seeing it in the cineplex.

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.

Esta es un homenaje de Robert Rodríguez y Quentin Tarantino a los cines conocidos como "Grindhouse" de los setentas donde pasaban mucho cine con tintes pornográficos, películas serie B, gore, terror; todas de superbajo presupuesto, cuidaron hasta el último detalle, incluyento las fallas de los proyectores de esos cines, con montones de daños al negativo, frames tambaleantes, cambios repentinos de colores, hasta frames faltantes con efecto de quemado del negativo y las disculpas por las fallas por parte de la administración(como me hizo reir cuando paso este!), todo esto debido a que pasaban las películas una y otra vez durante mucho tiempo y obvio el negativo se iba dañando. Planet terror es muy entretenida, llena de acción, gore, chicas lindas y con una trama super rápida, Death proof es mas lenta y llena de dialogo al más puro estilo de Tarantino, pero al final se recupera bastante bien, pero los trailers falsos a la mitas de las dos películas me encantaron (Machete, Werewolf women os the SS, Don't, Thanksgiving), de las cuales si se filmaron películas reales debido a su aceptación del público (Machete, Machete Kills y Hobo with a shotgun, del cual el tráiler aparece en los extras), las dos películas están en el disco uno y el disco dos esta repleto de extras! Superrecomendado!
