Who's gonna go watch it?
Friday April 6th.
Is this the ultimate "B" movie or what? I've never watched a double feature before, so this will be my first, but this movie just looks like so much of everything you want in a movie only in "B" movie form. Girls, Guns, Knives, Cars, Violence, Sex, Zombies, Explosions, what more could I ask for? I'm not sure but I'll bet if its good, it'll be in this movie.
I love "B" movies so this is definately a "must watch" for me. I almost want to goto the drive in just to watch it. Beer, liquor and girls all at the drive through... sounds like a good time to me.
Quentin Tarantino & Robert Rodriguez
Kurt Russell, Rosario Dawson, Bruce Willis, Rose McGowan, how can you go wrong?

They both look wonderfully bad, but I'm most looking forward to Planet Terror. It's a chick with a machine gun for a leg going on a rampage.

QuoteSeveral countries are actually splitting the movie up into two seperate full feature presentations? that kinda defeats the purpose. This movie in intended to be a double feature complete with false previews: like Machete!!. This seriously seems like the perfect booze and munchie movie that you watch at a drive-in theater.

*WARNING*
Adult content, such as nudity and stuff included in this uncensored clip of Eli Roth's "Thanksgiving" movie trailer that is placed between the two "feature" movies.
Ok, I just finished watching it(it took really long to load), and this clip is funny, sexy and disgusting.
Funny = stuffed human turkey, the "its blood" scene and the rediculousness of the trailer in general
Sexy = The Cheerleader on the trampoline (until the knife)
Disgusting = The skull fvcking at the very end
This movie is gonna be great, I'm definately going to see the night before opening.

Werewolf Women of the SS ftw!
I think that recently horror moviess have takem themselves too seriously, I watch their trailers and I just yawn in boredom, and so I never want to watch them. Grindhouse however, is just pure goddamn fun, so how can anyone not like it.

If your are waiting for this to hit DVD to watch it.... DON'T
If you plan on going to see this by yourself.... DON'T
If you were planning to go watch another movie instead.... DON'T
Just DON'T
But really the only thing I'm gonna comment on is Death Proof.
It starts off slow, but it finishes strong. lol @ Stunt Man Mike.
the theater was seriously clapping at the end.

Bad Idea! Half of the fun of this movie is seeing it in the movies. The atmosphere is all the fun. You have never been to the movies until you seen the trailer for a movie called "Werewolf Women of the S.S." in the theater. Trust me when I tell you. If you go see one movie in the theater this year, well "Don't" be stupid and go see Spider-Man 3 but GrindHouse was really, really good. Plus it has "Werewolf Women of the S.S." Don't wait till Thanksgiving or Halloween to get the DVD, or you might want to kill something with a bloody machete.

QuoteI don't see any movies in theaters. The last movie I saw in theaters was Return of the King, and that was only because I was dragged to it. Before that, I think it was maybe Insomnia (2002). I can probably name all the movies I've seen in theaters since 1999 on two hands.

Post by: ThePerm on October 03, 2007, 09:55:58 AM
Planet Terror is a parody, and Death Proof is an homage, they dont stand on their own very well. Its not worth it without the missing reels and the trailers inbetween. That was the whole hook fo the movie, and then the Weinstiens decide to take it out and ruin it. I refuse to buy them separately. Anyone who does is not doing the movie service. Grindhouse is a movie Planet Terrot and Death Proof are segments. What if they released all the segments of Creepshow by themselves?
Post by: Caliban on January 20, 2009, 08:53:08 PM
Edit: Since I can't find a Crank or Sin City thread... Crank is awesome, and I can't wait for Crank 2. Sin City was cool, and my preferred short was the one with Goldie.
Post by: EasyCure on January 20, 2009, 09:45:56 PM
Planet Terror became an instant classic amonst my friends and I but we all agree that Death Proof, while a good premise, didn't deliver. It sounds like a dumb complaint but there was seriously too much talking in that movie and the characters were nothing special so why spend the majority of the movie fleshing out the little character they all had?
And since you brought it up... I still haven't seen Crank (almost forgot about that movie, i should rent that soon) and Sin City really was a great movie. I was dissapointed with The Spirit, though, but I still enjoyed it.. Just wasn't as good as SC and 300.

as far as Grindhouse, I feel like Tarantino and Rodriguez bloated the films to where they were just boring as hell. The over-the-top ness of the film was fun for a little while, but it got tired pretty quickly IMO.
Post by: nickmitch on January 21, 2009, 02:02:09 AM

DO IT!! You might want to pick up Death Race as well. Same actor, but excellent action/plot balance.

I know he was in Death Race as well but that movie never appealed to me. I felt like the premise wasn't as over the top as Crank (you're alive as long as your adrenaline is pumping.. what do you do? KILL KILL KILL!!) but it just seemed to.. well.. stupid lol. I dunno, I'll check it out if I can get it cheap enough, and if I don't like it I'll just give it to a cousin or something.
As far as the Death Proof stuff goes, I guess I'll never "get it" like some people don't get Planet Terror. I think that movie was a wonder homage to movies in the same genre as it and the over the top action was great, because of how campy those movies can be sometimes (ie: Return of the Living Dead = so bad its good).
Death Proof.. it was just boring to me, meh.

By the time something actually happens we're already AN HOUR INTO THE MOVIE. F*ck that. Thankfully I saw Planet Terror first (which I loved) because I never would have given it a chance if I saw Death Proof first.
The sad thing is though when you watch the extra features on the DVD Quentin Tarantino is just so damn enthusiastic about his movie. You feel sorry for him. You feel almost guilty for hating his movie. My brother and I both figured that if we knew Tarantino personally and he had asked our opinion of Death Proof we would be unable to give him an accurate opinion because he's just so into the movie that we figure telling him it sucked would hurt his feelings too much.

A little research on IMDb shows that Death Proof was 90 minutes in the theater and 114 minutes on DVD. Planet Terror was 95 minutes in the theater and 105 minutes on DVD.
It seems like the theatrical versions are much better than the "director's cut" versions because they cut out a lot of the parts that drag on.

Death Proof is by far the better film. It oozes Tarantino, which is only a good thing. Secondly, it's an hilarious movie and Rosario Dawson's in it.

It oozes his annoying side, where he talks to much and he makes his characters mirror that. I enjoy most of the mans films, but listening to him talk makes me envy the deaf and this movie did the same for me.
By the way, you may no longer call me Lil Wiggles.

Post by: EasyCure on January 22, 2009, 08:46:24 AM
i think Kashogi and me are of the same opinion. The movies is about style. The way they talk, the way things go down. It does have alot of conversation, but its interesting conversation, but what i pay attention to more is what he does with the camera. I assume Tarantino has some foot fetish. watch the movie and count how much feet is in it. Then when thats done and your on the advertisement section, look at all the product placement jokes. There's a ton of things going on in the movie, very subtle things.

The saddest part is that it started out really strong. The intro was great, how a mysterious stranger walks into a bar, picks up a girl and then tortures her. Then that last scene when he plays chicken with the other car.. that was awesome! What happens after all that was completely unexpected and pretty boring, IMO. It's like, going to see the Friday the 13th remake next month, expecting to see some pretty gruesome and hopefully imaginative ways for these damn kids to get killed... and instead theres one sweet scene, followed by 80 mins of teen drama at a lake, then they somehow kill Jason.

Nope, I didn't actually. I wanted something as outrageous and cheesy (in a good way!) as Planet Terror and those fake coming attractions, instead i got crap coming out of peoples mouths. At least the girls were easy on the eyes, but thats the most fun i had during those 90 mins.

Robert Rodriguez and Ethan Maniquis are teaming up to begin filming Machete on July 29th. They are co-directors.
-DANNY TREJO is returning (obviously) as "Machete", the madman bent on revenge.
-MICHELLE RODRIGUEZ ("Lost", Fast & Furious, Avatar) is said to be playing "Luz".
-JONAH HILL, the comedian who has starred in such films as Superbad and the forthcoming Adam Sandler comedy Funny People, will play "Julio".
-Lastly, a legend of our time, ROBERT DE NIRO, will take on the role of "Senator McLaughlin".
Machete (Trejo) is a Mexican ex-Federale with a gift for wielding a blade, who hides out as a day laborer, who is double-crossed by a corrupt state senator (De Niro). The film was teased as a faux trailer that was directed by Robert Rodriguez in Dimension Films' Grindhouse, which featured a full-length film from both Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino.
