Grindhouse split for DVD

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...

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.

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.

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"?

Death proof Defintely the weakest of the two
I like Tarantino and all, but my god besides a handful of good flicks, what else can he brag about? I will buy Planet Terror, I won' buy the almost snooze worth Death Proof. I doubt it is just me, but it irraitates me to no end that no one went to see this flick! But yet "Are we there yet" made more money, and the crappy "Wild Hogs" made almost 10 times that?! What the hell movie-qoers!

I would say boycot them, but all the fanboys will be buying those movies up. Too bad that less than 12 months later, they will have to shell out more of their hard earned cash for the super ultimate concession stand boxset edition with a free bag of kettle corn.

I dont see why everyone thinks that the girls in death proof where good looking. Only Rose Mcgowan was hot in her role in death proof. Not to mention smoking hot as cherry in planet terror. Planet Terror was also the better story with the better actors and the most fun and gore that i have ever seen. Death Proof didnt even have the scratches on the film to give it the grindhouse feel. I am very pissed that its been split thow, and to be honest i probably wont buy death proof (if i even buy the crap fest at all) untill planet terror (the greatest zombie movie ever) comes out on dvd seeing it was the better of the 2 but what i also dont get is that by splitting the movies it takes away the whole grindhouse feel. I dont understand this shit at all. And yes THE WEINSTEINS ARE ASSHOLES! I dont see why Robert didnt just put this movie out himself with out them fucking assholes. And to who ever disses planet terror can shut the fuck up! Why do you think planet terror was first, If death proof was first people would have left the movies because of how boring it was.

Both parts were good. But together, they were perfect. The movie was so enjoyable because it captured the feel of seeing a double feature. Watching it on a small screen already would diminish that. But breaking it into chunks, with "Missing Reels" presumably restored? That strips the experience away, leaving you with one bad zombie movie on one disc and a cheap car movie on another.

theyre not hot!
I think there was one hot chick in all of Death Proof and she wasn't even close to as hot as the ones in Planet Terror!! They were ugly ass chicks with wacky ass hair or just annoying.



Yeah, Death Proof threatened to ruin the movie, seeing it on DVD solo isn't cool because what will happen to the trailers between the movies? They better not end up in the special features.

It's difficult to really say which was better. Planet Terror was more action packed so of course there's going to be less boredom factor, but the last 15 minutes of Death Proof was soooooooo intense I don't think it would have had that power unless it went with the slow build it did.

YOU WILL BUY
Deathproof on DVD. Then YOU WILL BUY Planet Terror. Then you will buy the two in their original concept package, then you will buy the special edition and the unrated director's cut editions, then the ten year anniversery edition, then the collectible covers edition. You say you won't. But you will.

I'm in complete agreement with CVD's "Another Thing" - Rodriguez did not emulate but rather made a fanboyish homage that didn't feel anything like it was from the 70's. (and guys, don't take that as a slam against Rodriguez in general. Sure I have yet to actually like any of his films but he's clearly got a great method)

Anyway as for the split... I was actually hoping for it. I'd love to watch Death Proof again and again without feeling like I have to sit through Planet Terror. For my own personal sake, I'm all for it. I do hope, however, that a special edition after DVD sales show well (which I think they will... at least rentals will go like crazy) is on the way and will preserve the entire experience as a double feature.

Oh yeah, by the way.... to DEATH PROOF's credit, it was more like a grindhouse flick. PLANET TERROR was more of a fan making his own version of what he'd like to see in a grindhouse movie. So, technically, I guess Tarantino did do a better job of emulating the genre he loved.

When I saw GRINDHOUSE in the theater, the place was packed! Everyone went nuts for PLANET TERROR - everyone was talking, but it felt like part of the experience, so I didn't care. But, as soon as DEATH PROOF came on, you could hear a pin drop in the theater. People started walking out, and I practically fell asleep.

It's a shame that they want to split this. When will the Weinsteins admit that it's their fault for releasing a THREE HOUR horror movie that was poorly promoted. When you sell your product as CHEESE, expect people not to take YOU, or your film seriously.

The money guys are ruining a piece of art.
There is no way I'll spend money on a split DVD release. I had planned to buy Grindhouse on its realease date. But, this split reeks of money men trying to get more at the cost of art. Am I the only one that thinks we should see it as the double-feature it was intended to be?

Death Proof was great! Planet Terror was forgettable!
My opinion, of course, is that Death Proof can stand the test of time and stand as a great film in its own right.

My opinion, of course, is that Death Proof can stand the test of time and stand as a great film in its own right. It takes the foundation of the Grindhouse films and goes beyond them by creating a unique piece of cinema. Planet Terror attempts to recreate the look and feel of those films with better visual effects, but in the end it was pretty predictable, and got dull at least 30min before it was over. As for the dialogue in Death Proof, I was pretty much just watching the movie unfold, just like I do with every other movie, and I didn't know where that long middle convo would bring us, so it was great. I had a great time watching it, and I wish more movies offered as much originality as Death Proof. Looking forward to the new version... and finally I'm glad I don't have to buy Planet Terror... I would have taken them together, but in the end those movies don't belong packaged together.

Whaaat?!? So hold on, this means that there won't actually be a "Grindhouse" DVD, just "DP" and "PT" separately, or they'll release them separately now and put out a full DVD in the future, or ... what the f*ck? Why not just put out a nice DVD of "Grindhouse" followed by (hopefully) "Machete?" Is that really too much to ask?

Planet Terror was the better Grindhouse movie, but Death Proof was a better movie in general.
