 It is being reported now that Quentin Tarantino's DEATH PROOF will be released - without PLANET TERROR - on DVD, on September 18th of this year. Genius Entertainment and the Weinstein Co. will be responsible. To be honest, I'm completely baffled by pretty much everything that has happened since GRINDHOUSE was released in cinemas. It's difficult to get over the fact that the thing tanked at the box-office, even more difficult for me to understand how the only talk of sequels has been Eli Roth discussing some flick that is composed solely of trailers, but perhaps the most difficult for me to understand is that DEATH PROOF seems to be getting all the glory. I know I'm not alone, because I talked about this before (and got a bunch of e-mails from schmoes voicing their agreement), in the view that PLANET TERROR was the vastly superior flick. I like DEATH PROOF, and some of the dialogue in it is a nod to Tarantino's best, but to be honest I was getting bored during some of the conversations between hot chicks. And whether that was intended - as I've heard some people say - is irrelevant. PLANET TERROR was just such a ride the whole way through, great cheesy fun, and really, really funny. Admittedly, I haven't seen the DEATH PROOF that was shown at Cannes, but I can't see how the flick could be improved to such an extent as to make it more enjoyable than TERROR. Here's hoping that PLANET TERROR gets its own DVD release soon.
Extra Tidbit:
Rodriguez actually wrote the first 30 pages of PLANET TERROR back in 1998.

LISTEN UP
To everyone complaining about the split, quit crying and read the following quote by Tarantino.
"Me and Robert made three movies. We made Death Proof, Planet Terror and then we made Grindhouse. Death Proof and Planet Terror were always meant to stand alone. But when we put them together as Grindhouse, it had to work as one evening. So we didn't cut our movies to the bone; we cut them past the bone.”

NICE LAPDANCE!
Haven't seen 'Planet Terror' yet but enjoyed Death Proof a lot.Thank you Kurt Russel.
Would have liked to see both movies as one movie with the extra clips.
Funny Lapdance by the way. |

WHETHER
or not you prefer one over the other is irrevelavent (and in fact there seems to be an equal split between the 2) so the first part of this article is useless. The only thing that is important to point out is that together they are a film. GRINDHOUSE, with all of it's parts is the damn movie and not Grindhouse in half. Period. Weinstein has been off the game since the Disney split and this is the latest bungle. If they want to release the films on their own fine, but at least put them out there the way they were intended too. |

I agree. Releasing them on two DVDs is dumb. If they really wanted to squeeze money out of consumers, they should have released them on two DVDs but in a double feature pack, therefore justifying charging twice as much for a movie that is technically supposed to be together. I liked Planet Terror a hundred times more anyway. Death Proof had way too much irrelevant dialogue. |

THE FUCKS.....
I knew this was gonna happen. I Just knew they were gonna release the two movies on two dvds. I agree that Planet Terror was far better than death proof, but I also think that the experience of both movies and the trailers was what I loved it for. Double dipping once again ruins a great movie experience. |

I really hope the Weinsteins won't wonder why when a Grindhouse piracy will go through the roof now... |

WTF
Cant believe they would do this when every advertisement for the movie was all how it was a double feature and such. But I totally wont be buying Death proof, only Planet Terror and will possibly download a pirated Death Proof. HAHA that will show them. |

GET SOMEONE A TISSUE
I'm going to diss Planet Terror a little more since some people can't get over the fact that there is some value to diverse opinions. Planet Terro was less of a grindhouse film than Death Proof, ok? Both were flawed, both were enjoyable.
I'm hearing a lot about how the film was "meant to be seen", but the double feature is how it was meant to be seen in theaters, maybe not necessarily the way it was meant to be seen in the home. I'd be curious to hear what the directors think of this move. My guess is that they're totally cool with it.
p.s. TheFilmFreak, I'm confused. Grindhouse is "the greatest movie i have ever seen", yet "Death Proof sucked"? |
