Planet Terror/Death Proof - Blu-ray Forum

Leopold BUTTERS · 12-24-2008, 06:05 AM

I got both of these for 20 dollars with a buy one get one free today. So far i only watched Planet terror (and they do have the fake trailors) and it was awesome. One thing i noticed tho is the back of the BD case says they are filmed in a different aspect ratio than they actually are. The aspect ratio is 16x9 and on the back it says 2.40.1. Just wondering if anyone else noticed this, or if the states have different packaging.

are you sure planet terror doesn't just have Machete? cuz that's always been there.

Kaiju · 12-24-2008, 06:06 AM

hmmmm maybe....I thought more came after the credits like, in theatres (from what i heard) the movie had more trailors after Planet Terror finished so i thought it might be after the credits but i didn't watch that far. I didn't know machete was always there.

Online (at Amazon?) or locally in Canada? Thx. Good price!

The Canadian & US discs should be exactly the same extras/film-wise. The fake trailers (other than Machete) are not present. See Canadian Blu review at http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film2/DVDRe...net_terror.htm. The upcoming Grindhouse release in Germany (a steelbook) will contain the full length film with trailers.

If that's the case, here's hoping it's region free!

Well..I think the clerk may have only entered one movie in, i looked at her screen and it showed only one movie in the scanner. I kept quiet because i didn't remember seeing a BOGO sign. lol...so i am not 100% sure if there is a BOGO or if i just got a nice christmas present from Future Shop.

meowCat · 12-24-2008, 08:40 PM

Best Buy has done this to me before. I wasn't about to mention anything. I figure with all I purchase, a free BD here and there ain't gonna hurt nobody.

I believe it was Kill Bill 1 and 2 for 14.99

I watched both movies the other day. I love the over the top gore in Planet Terror and the cool Tarantino dialog in Death Proof. One thing I was missing however is the trailers. Did I miss something or are most of the cool trailers left out of these two films? I remember enjoying the trailers quite a bit when I watched Grindhouse at the theaters.

I did not watch the scratch free versions. I prefer to watch the films as intended.

jtwise · 01-02-2009, 01:41 PM

Do they come with all the fake trailers?

16X9 and 2.40:1 are both widescreen. So essentially they are the same thing. 2.35:1 and 1.85:1 are also widescreen and 16X9. The only ones that are not 16X9 are 1.33:1 and 1:66:1 which are full screen 4X3. I am not really sure what you mean by saying they are different.

sorry, the back of the box says 2.35.1 but with that aspect ratio there are black bars (are there not?) but when i played the movie it played in full screen.
