Grindhouse Two-Disc Collectors Edition Blu-ray

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..

I’ve not fully watched it, but scanning through the scene selection and doing my research this has everything the film had when released in theatres. You might see people say “missing 20 mins” of a movie. And they’d be right, but that’s okay. This is the way Tarantino and Rodriguez wanted Grindhouse to be, they cut 20 mins out of both films for a reason. If you worried about missing this 20 minutes, I recommend you also buy the extended cut blu-rays of the two films. But from what I’ve been told, these 20 mins are not crucial to the plot however are very much loved. This movie doesn’t forget any of the trailers, so rest assured. Two at the start and some in the middle 😁😁😁 As I say, I’ve not fully watched it yet. But scanned through the scene selection, but as of now all looks great!! Luckily enough Read more
