I really was looking forward to grindhouse, but when they split it and removed the trailers I decided not to bother seeing it as did alot of my film loving friends at university! And now they are refusing giving us Grinhouse on DVD are they nutts, I was looking forward to viewing the films on the uni cinema with the film society, but now we will have to continue waiting. We have formed a pact and we, or surtainly I refuse to watch either film until we have it in the format it was ment to be seen in!

They really have shot themselves in the foot with this whol quest for more money, and im sure they will see there cult status rise and sales increase whne then finally get there act together and release grindhouse in the uk.

You guys are too busy boycotting everything that you don’t even know there is an official release of Grindhouse being released. Robert Rodriguez says so on the special features of the Extended cut of Planet Terror. It was always obvious they would release these films in every possible manner, seperately and as Grindhouse. Nobody is making you buy these seperate DVDs so as i’ve said before stop bitching and be grateful you did see Grindhouse at the cinema. Stop moaning about the extended cuts of the films as well. If you’d seen them then comment, if not don’t say stupid shit like ‘seperate dvds is fucking stupid’ when you’ve not seen the difference in the films.

I think its a ripoff they arent combining them but I could live with it if they included the trailers. Rob Zombie’s She Wolfs of the SS was the highlight of the film to me.
Im not buying these unless they come out with aeither a combined version or one that includes all the trailers.

I can’t help but read all of the above comments and realise how ungrateful the majority of you are. Living in the Uk i never got the oppurtunity to see Grindhouse in its whole, the reason is, because the majority of people were too f***in lazy to go see it. Now the studio has done the only thing they can. Grindhouse cost roughly 50 million to make and took in about 15 million in the USA & Canada. Clearly the money has to be returned. It sucks ass but you have to face the music, Hollywood is a business, the films were made to make money, so the money has to be made by whatever means the studio see fit. Its not like the studio has spat out a shitty one disc edition with a 5 minute making of featurette, its a 2 disc version with plenty of features and at least an extra 20 mins of extra footage in each film. So stop feeling so sorry for yourselves as you only got to see it in the cinema as Grindhouse, the rest of the world got Death Proof and Planet Terror. Consider yourselves lucky!

Hey, let’s just be happy we saw the movie in theatres!! This 2-disk thing they got going on is horrible, but seeing the whole thing together was one of my favorite nights of 2007. Too bad they keep *uck*ng messing up… (doing what they want to do instead of what the little amount of people who saw it in theaters want to see again).

It’s like Elvis coming from the dead and making new songs, but never performing his old hits; People loved them–but he don’t care :)

Wow! I was really excited to see both films. I have always enjoyed all the past films and really looked forward to seeing something I haven’t seen in the past. I was so disapointed. Growing up all the great films watching Vanishing Point with my dad so many times – I wanted to see something vintage. I don’t know maybe I have been ruined by Hollywood. I am glad I didn’t see it in the theatre I would have reacted the same way I did with Blair Witch. Then again I expect a movie to keep me in my seat. The whole time I was watching Death Proof I kept waiting. I was amused at the Vanishing Point references and the chase scene. BUt it’s really nothing I haven’t seen in the past. Next time I want to see a Classic I will simply rent just that the real deal. On a more positive note it was nice to see the cheezy editing and old grain film. Loved that.

I am really disappointed with how they handled the DVD release. When I saw in the theater, I was pretty happy with the whole experience. And that’s what the whole package is meant to be: an EXPERIENCE. It shouldn’t have been split up the way it now is on DVD.

This is OUT of control! The movie, when it was in the theater, cost ONE PRICE to see both movies with all the fake trailers etc…etc…etc. It’s deplorable to try and sell/rent this movie as two separate entities and I hope NO ONE purchases or rents either DP or PT until it’s released as it was in the movies. Enough is enough.

Just to be able to pay $9.15 for two films by two high caliber directors such as Robert Rodriguez and Quinton Tarantino was mind blowing to me, me being a movie aficionado and a cheap ass. Though Tarantino’s film was kind of dry at least he put one out instead of whoring out his name in the â€œQuinton Tarantino Presentsâ€ fashion. I thought after Kill Bill he was going to take another 5 year brake. Where the two films in theaters were mind-blowing together and just a damn good value this blows all cheap like five dollar hooker. I will wait for a box set or I will sail the high seas and take up the life of a media pirate.
