Grindhouse DVD...

[MinionZombie]

http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/news/10773 How come the Japanese are getting this 6 disc affair first? That's rather odd, not to mention annoying...even though discs 1 through 4 are just the two separate two discs editions of each film. Still, for frig sake, just give me a proper Grindhouse DVD to buy easily you pesky Weinsteins!

[acealive1]

cuz we're not crap to the movie industry in which the film was made. they want to sell us out to give a foreign market the best stuffa and then wonder why we arent scampering to grab the one disc they give us

[ProfessorChaos]

holy $hit! 6 discs? that seems a little excessive. i'd be fine if they released a deluxe 3 disc edition here in the states.

[MinionZombie]

I'm confused by the 6 discs as well, judging by the extent of the separate releases extra features, you could have both sets crammed onto one disc, which brings it all down to 5 discs...I duno... Point is though - give us Westerners a proper release of Grindhouse on DVD, especially us Brits who didn't even get to see the f*ckin' film in the cinemas properly. Heck, Death Proof was only in my local multiplex for two measily tight-arse weeks, I was planning on seeing it but it was gone no sooner than it had arrived! *grabs placard* Gimme my deluxe Grindhouse DVD now, you bastards!

Gimme my deluxe Grindhouse DVD now, you bastards! I don't miss the film to be honest. If they wont give the proper version a release then why should I buy in any other shape. As far as I'm concerned, if I get desperate to see it then I shall simply download it and they will lose more money, simple as that. As for a six DVD set, I think a four DVD set would be enough. There's no way I'm coughing up fifty quid to see the proper version, even if it does get released over here.

pesky? i've never heard that word in so long... you're showing your age! no... wait.... i'm older.... DAMN!

Only by a year or mere months, my friend. Anyway, I was thinking last night. Apparently RR said that there's going to be a 2-disc Grindhouse theatrical Region 1 DVD release...I wonder if that release is going to essentially be discs 5 and 6 from this Japanese 6-disc set? Because discs 1 through 4 are just what has already been released separately in America - and now in the UK (well, Death Proof at least) - to round it off, they'd just need to pimp out discs 5 and 6 together in a new set. Still though, it would mean having to buy the separate releases too, for the Grindhouse completists here (e.g. me) ... although indeed, I acquired the extended versions of both because I was holding out for the proper DVD release...but I bet I'll still have to get the separate ones for completion's sake.

Apparently you folks across the pond may be getting a select few chances to see the film in it's original format. First being hosted by Edgar Wright and then a few other times/places. This is taken from Wright's Myspace: Because you demanded it, you lucky people in London (or with access to the Old Smoke via plane, train or automobile) can see GRINDHOUSE in its original double bill form at the fantastic Prince Charles Cinema on Saturday March the 8th at 8pm. That's right. The whole bloody affair, including MACHETE, THANKSGIVING, WEREWOLF WOMEN OF THE S.S. and of course my very own DON'T on the big screen where it belongs (ie: not on You Tube). I will be there, presenting this special preview, that precedes a general release from Momentum around the country from March 28th; either in the form of one day specials or late night screenings. So you literally have no excuses if you can make it. PRINCE CHARLES SITE - BUY TIX See you there. It will be fan-f*cking-tastic. Edgar p.s. Comments along the lines of "why isn't this happening in Glasgow / Cardiff or Pencil Bluff, Arkansas" will be, as ever, ignored. I cannot be everywhere at once as, alas unlike Young Darth or Billy Elliot I am not and will probably never be a JUMPER.... Even if you've seen the two films seperately or "acquired" the original film, I HIGHLY recommend you see this on the big screen. You can't get this experience from a monitor or TV...

Good stuff, I might look into this.

Apparently you folks across the pond may be getting a select few chances to see the film in it's original format... I noticed a while ago that Grindhouse had been through the BBFC as a 'whole' on the 11th Jan 08 with a running time of 190m 53s: http://www.bbfc.co.uk/website/Classi...3?OpenDocument Death Proof had been given an 18 cert on 8th June 07 Planet Terror had been given an 18 cert on 2nd October 07

If this comes to my local mega-cine-plex-house I'll go and check it out, if not then f*ck 'em, I'll be waiting for the proper DVD release ... cinema visit or no. Good find though bassman. I wonder when this apparenty Region 1 special edition theatrical cut DVD is coming out though.

The full cut of Grindhouse is on Starz this month, and is on their on demand as well.

The full cut of Grindhouse is on Starz this month, and is on their on demand as well. You sure? I've seen both films seperately on Starz, but not the whole double bill with the trailers,advertisements,missing reels, etc. They label them as "Grindhouse Presents: Robert Rodriquez's Planet Terror" and "Grindhouse Presents: Quintin Taratino's Death Proof". Possibly the most pointless titles EVER....

[axlish]

Positive. They can also be seen separately like you said.
