I have been trying to figure this film/these films out? Is it 2 seperate films? Or is it Dimension making as much cash as possible?

Dimension is taking this oppurtunity to rape the public financially, just because the movie bombed. The movie going public got to see two movies for the price of one in the theatre, under the title GRINDHOUSE. Now it can no longer be called that, since they are releasing PLANET TERROR and DEATH PROOF individually. I don't care how many special features they pile on. I won't buy two movies, that really should be one. The whole thing violates the grindhouse feel that they were going for in the first place.
It's two seprate films. Robert and Quintin are paying tribute to the Drive In theaters that did Film marathons on violent movies that were shown otherwise known as Grindhouse.
i just wished they did this as a box set show the original theactrical film dvd with and the separate films just like the Sin City Box Set

Yes they are 2 seperate films but they were released as a double feature. And yes, Dimension is doing this to make as much money as they can.
If it weren't for the fact that they are both 2 disc sets, I'd be more upset then what I am. I'll be picking both of them up even though I was a bigger fan of Planet Terror.

Yes they are releasing them as two separate films without the fake trailers. The combined Grindhouse release with the fake trailers comes out at a later date courtesy of the generous and thoughtful Weinstein Company.
"Ker-ching!"

One question. The article makes no mention of those fake movie trailers that were shown in between the 2 parts. Will they be included on either or both of these sets?
I just wish that QT would get on with releasing the new version of Kill bill that he has mentioned before...
I am on the fence with these DVDs
Remember how everyone said in 2004 they are not going to buy the Kill Bill bare bones (no special features) DVDs since Tarantino would release volumes 1 and 2 as one special edition loaded with special features
It is 2007 and that idea has not come into fruition.
If they are releasing Planet Terror and Death Proof as two separate 2 disc special editions that probably means these are going to be the definitive dvds for a while
if they were planning to release both movies in one set I doubt they would release them first as two separate 2 disc special editions and they would have made them bare bones with no special features.

Where are the bloody faux trailers? If they've been left off, we're NOT going to be happy for a very good reason...

I am so pissed that they're releasing these seperately, but that is one kickass cover art. And at least they're 2-disc special editions.
"Remember how everyone said in 2004 they are not going to buy the Kill Bill bare bones (no special features) DVDs since Tarantino would release volumes 1 and 2 as one special edition loaded with special features."
Well I don't know what special features it will have, but the new version of Kill Bill, comes out on December 25, 2007. Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair. You can check it out on Amazon here.

Where are the trailers come on let's us know?

Kill Bill is coming out in November (13th I believe here in the States).
This was in and out of the theater so fast, I never got a chance to see it. On the one hand, I would love to see these extended cuts, I am all over it. But on the other hand, I really would like to see it how it was...fake trailers and all. I'll probably pick these up and then get the original cut when it becomes available.
Also, rumor has it that Best Buy will have these with an exclusive 3rd disc and have steelbook packaging. If that is the case, then it becomes a must buy for me.

Comparing the Kill Bill release to the Grindhouse release it not exactly fair.
Under miramax they could not possibly release a uncut version of Kill Bill as miramax/Dimension never release NC17/unrated dvds.
Now that the Weinsteins have formed a new company they are allowed to release an uncut Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair.
They showed off the box last week at Comic Con:

At Comic Con, Edgar Wright (who directed the fake trailer 'Dont!" confirmed that the fake trailers will not be included in these two separate Grindhouse releases:

It was a cool thing they did presenting a double bill ala GRINDHOUSE...but business is business. How many different versions can we get away with? Before we put out the version everyone wants. I think the movies loose something as stand alones.

Death Proof was just plain boring, I thought. Every minute without Stuntman Mike was a wasted one. They just wouldn't shut up about "Vanishing Point" and it was so frustrating to hear a bunch of tomboys dish about how cool "Vanishing Point" was and Ohmigosh, you haven't seen "Vanishing Point?" The stunts at the end were fine but I really just was bored throughout, I'd say.
Planet Terror was ok, I thought. Nothing new or special but it got the job done better than a lot of the Rodriguez films I've seen.

I'll wait till the boxset comes out the way it was shown theatrically which I really liked. Neither one was good enough to buy on its own. The whole point that made Grindhouse such a fun experience was the two films back to back with the fake trailers. This stinks.
YES! i dont have to sit through Robert Rodriguez in Planet Terror. I have never liked any Robert Rodriguez film, from Spy Kids to Once Upon a Time in Mexico.
That looks pretty fantastic. I understand why they broke it up into 2 movies...I don't mind. I have no problem watching them back to back if I want to. Not really a big deal.

Once Upon a Time in Mexico was really bad but Desperado, El Mariachi, Sin City and From Dusk Till Dawn are fun.
Neither director is a sign of sure quality, especially Tarantino who seems to be putting his name on more and more rubbish.
I'll wait for the reviews on the DVDs, just incase the Extended Edition turns out to be an overlong snorefest like Kill Bill.

I'm beginning to think I am the only person who enjoyed Once Upon a Time in Mexico. I liked it a lot in fact.

Yeah he has placed his name on a real RUBBISH film called Hostel and Hostel Part II. Other than that Tarantino is a fantastic director, he never aims to failure.

I'll just wait for the boxset with both movies - the way it should be released.
I'm not really that bothered about the films (I don't see this as the next proper Tarantino movie) I was more interested in the whole concept of releasing a double bill of pseudo-70's grindhouse flicks with the old style trailers in the middle for those ever welome 'upcoming features'.
I was a kid when they stopped double bills in the UK and have only vague memories, and was in the wrong country (and too young any way) to experience an exploitaion/grindhouse night out.
As such this was a fun idea.
Take away the idea though and it's simply not that big a deal anymore because it's just two (overblown, given the stupidly big budgets) pretend exploitation flicks that i can take or leave with little thought.
there are enough real grindhouse films out there to watch come to that. Many on the kind of fun double bill set-up (with trailers, like some of the SWV DVD's) that these have given up on.

no trailers on either film? bulls**t, i say! i'll wait for the inevitable 5 disc ultimate unrated edition.
Well at least now I can see it! There is still no word on any sort of release for either film, or together as they should be, here in Australia! So very very disappointing! I was so looking forward to having the whole grindhouse experience in a cinema but I guess 2 separate DVDs will suffice!

I wouldn't be, either. Being the geek that I am, though, I'm probably going to get all editions of this thing...
BTW, guys, the Region 1 DVD of "Hot Fuzz" came out yesterday. AWESOME STUFF.

Same here. I enjoyed it the most out of all 3.
And yeah..."Vanishing Point" is 90% tedium. Not a good film to champion actualy QT!
