Thanks, Mike - I wish there was more information about the dvd release date. I can't wait to buy it and really want my UK friends to experience it as it was intended... 3+hours, instead of having to choose between which of the movies to watch at the cinema.

I'd love to see another Grindhouse movie!! Fingers crossed for Eli Roth!!!

Cheers, Andy xxx

At least you've seen it, Andy. They've pulled the Aussie release as well, which pisses me off to no end. The brothers Weinstein are still trying to figure out what to do with it, since nothing has bombed this badly since Pearl Harbor (the actual harbor, not the craptacular movie, which somehow made money). Oh well.


Matthew the Chism has spoken.

One of the problems with Grindhouse was that people started walking out of the cinemas after Planet Terror finished, not realizing it was a double feature. Lol.

How stupid can you get? All the advertising I heard about the film said it was a double feature.

I know, I'm really glad I was able to watch it as it was intended. I guess I just want to buy the DVD asap, so I can get my friends to watch it the same way too, instead of them run the risk of seeing the movies seperately.

Stupid people who walk out of a movie theatre when it's OBVIOUS there's more to watch shouldn't be allowed to go to the movies PERIOD.

Idiots.

Have a happy day, folks

A little more research has some people saying that it will be released in July or August, but it's unknown as to whether or not they'll be separate.  I really hope they don't separate them in the hopes of getting back more money on that end, cause it wouldn't have that same drive in/grindhouse feel that was the whole purpose of making the movie in the first place.

Another thing I found is a company, BCI if I remember correctly is going to be releasing a series called "Welcome to the Grindhouse", with two old grindhouse movies and some trailers in between.  I have a couple things like this already on dvd (one that springs to mind is a double feature of The Van and CB Hustlers, with a mighty mouse or old superman cartoon on there as well) so these should be pretty cool.  A little different than the standard two movies on one dvd format, although Motel Hell and Deranged is a sweet double dvd.

I decided to do some research in this "genre" (where a new film tries to replicate something from the past), and I've found that in addition to Grindhouse, Down With Love and Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow were pretty much bombs as well.  I've seen all three and can admit to enjoying them, but I guess there's just not much call for movies like this.  Either that, or people just don't "get it".

Wow, was this movie amazing! I was shocked because I was expecting less of this movie, but I've got to say, it was alot more than what I expected.

Yeah, typical Quinten Dialouge, which I love. The atmosphere did not seem like his, though. But I did not mind it, because somewhere in there, you could tell it was his movie.

T he movie starts off with three girls talking in a car about basic teen gossip, then it goes into more chattering at a bar. Then stuntman mike arrives, and that's when the movie starts picking up. Yeah, the movie does start off slow with dialouge, but who cares, the subject matter the girls talk about are great.

Then the movie starts to get good when Mike starts talking to pam. Even though Stuntman Mike is a badguy, you really do care for him in the second half.

Now the second half of death proof takes place 14 months later after the first set of girls. This second half kind of feels even weirder, for some reason, the second half seems like a totally diffrent movie until the last 10 mintes in the car chase. But that's alright, that's what Quinten does, he makes diffrent movies, and this movie WAS diffrent. I have seen old grindouse movies in the past, and this didn't feel much like a grindhouse movie, the scratches on the screen, the technicolorish color, but that was basically it. Planet Terror seems more like a grindhouse film, Death Proof is just Quinten's style of movie, and amybe I'm just use to Quinten's style so much that I don't realize that it might actually seem like a grindhouse film to others.

All in all, this movie is the better of the two, but don't let that change your mind about Planet terror if you haven't seen it, because that is a good movie, also. But Death Proof was great, I pre-ordered it at FYE and I got a free poster! yay!

The movie is great, the DVD... ehh, not so great. I havn't gotten to disc 2 yet, but I was expecting a commentary by quinten, but I guess I'll just half to wait a year. Oh, it might seem like a waste of money for some of you, but every version of Planet Terror OR Death Proof that comes out in the future, and even IF it is eventually made as a 2 for 1 deal, I'll get that IF it has more Special Features.

Death Proof was one of the better movies I have seen this year. 10/10

Just bought Death Proof. Loved it! Quinten Tarentino still has it. The movie has everything you could ever want! Hot girls, snappy dialogue, an awsome bad guy, and some crazy car chases! I really hope Planet Terror is as good as people say it is. As for this one... I'll give it an A
