Just wondering if anyone else noticed this, or if the states have different packaging.

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.

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

Both PT and DP are 2:35 in the theatrical cut (I own the 6 disc japanese box set which has the double feature theatrical version). When they split the 2 films up for the US dvd releases PT was released in Rodriguez original AR of 1:78. DP was always 2:35

Since I own the boxset I wasnt going to buy the blus unless they release the theatrical cut but my g/f bought me Planet Terror since she knows im a sucker for these two films.

I rented it. This movie is too gore, too much violence. But I like the girls...

As for the PQ, it looks like garbage. Turned out it's the film's intention... oh well.

But it's got "scratch-free" version which is included in the disc... That has nice PQ. It's pretty darn good actually.

coolmilo · 12-28-2008, 06:02 AM

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.

marcellusk · 12-29-2008, 03:23 AM

maybe they will include the trailers in the BD Live content. (if there will ever be any avail)

I could have missed them too. I briefly looked for them but I did not see any in the 5 minutes I was looking.

jtwise · 01-02-2009, 01:41 PM

Do they come with all the fake trailers?
