Sin City/Death Proof/Planet Terror

[nmycon]

I was wondering if this three pack includes the 2-disc Extended Cuts of Death Proof and Planet Terror

I've never seen any non-"Extended and Unrated" editions sitting on shelves by themselves, but was wondering if perhaps Alliance included barebones releases of the films in this set.

Wal-Mart has it for only $18, and I'm considering getting it just for Death Proof and Planet Terror.

I already have the barebones Sin City, and will soon be upgrading to the Premium Edition, so I'll have 2 copies of Sin City to sell

The set has the original 1-disc Sin City, 2-disc edition for Planet Terror & 1-disc edition for Death Proof (which was the only edition issued on blu-ray). Planet Terror is 2 discs merely due to the alternate non-scratched version of the film being included, so it was a disc space issue. Buy the set!

If I may, I'd recommend getting the Grindhouse Double Feature as it has Death Proof and Planet Terror (in I believe the extended cuts), as well as all the fake trailers and whatnot, so it is actually complete. It was ridiculous they took so long to release the films like this, but they did a while ago, so I'd just get that. And I'd get Sin City seperately. Do whatever you want though.

I actually plan on getting both

The Grindhouse Double Feature, IIRC, is the theatrical cut with both films edited down into a single 3 hour(ish) presentation.

The individual releases have the extended cuts of both films.

Grindhouse has some extras not on the individual releases, and they have some not present in the Grindhouse package.

Anyways, BB managed to muck up the PM (as usual), since they couldn't confirm Wal-Mart's stock, they would PM at $18.00 + $0.97 shipping = $19.00, the cashier punched the $19.00 price match into the computer and it rang it up as a $20.99 PM reduced to $19.00.

I was using a $5 reward zone coupon and wasn't in the mood to put up a fight

Anyways, just over $6 a movie and hopefully I can get rid of Sin City (picked up the Premium edition and I now have 2 barebones to get rid of )

Is that so? That's pathetic, they simply cannot put it all in one box. You can either buy the films seperate, and get the uncut films, but not the theatrical experience of fake trailers, or get the set I have, and get the full theatrical experience, but censored films. This film seems to have a hard time getting a proper release lol. But I am still pretty happy with my set.

There's too much content to release all the content available on a smaller number of discs with the possible exception of the 2nd extras disc on the theatrical Grindhouse release. Basically the alternative would have been to release a single 5-disc release which would doubtfully be cheaper than purchasing the 3 individual releases.

I think I've spent about $35 for all 3 releases.

Fair enough.
