The Robert Rodriguez Collection: 2/11/11 (JB Exclusive. Four Films)

[brake]

Couldn't find a thread for this already so I thought I'd create one.

Seems like a pretty good set and at a good price too ($29.98). Four of his movies, although I don't consider Machete to be one of his wholly:

Desperado / El Mariachi / Machete / Once Upon A Time In Mexico

Will be a must buy if it has all the same special features as the US versions of each film.

Why don't you consdier Machete to be one on his movies?

[Cevolution]

Awesome, I will pick this up 1st day, even though I own Machete on blu already. It's quite cheap for 4 blu-ray movies. Obviously it's close to the studios RRP, otherwise jb would be charging more for it with the vultures they have become lately.

Desperado and El Mariachi must be on the same disc.

Not wholly. He didn't direct it entirely himself and the movie suffers because of it.

Yeah, same as the US release, they are both on the one disc also.

Can't complain for that price, i'll be picking it up.

[placki9821]

I've already got Machete, but I think I'll get this set for the others.

Bit annoying how they are still putting El Mariachi and Desperado on the same disc like on the DVD release. Will see when it comes out.

[Chrisco84]

Great price, will pick this up day 1. Was going to grab Machete in the 2 for $30 sale @JB but I'll just wait for this now.
Thanks for the heads up. :-)

Saw this today in JB, it's 3 discs in a standard amaray, no slipcover. El Mariachi and Desperado are on 1 disc, same as normal US release.

The back says region free for all, but region A and B only for Machete (weird), although cases can lie.

DTS HD MA 5.1 for all, except Marichi which is DTS HD MA 2.0

The back doesn't list special features, although it implies there are in the little box that says "special features may be in SD"

If this comes with the same special features as the normal version I will get it straight away, $29.98 is a deal

I reckon it should have included:
Desperado / El Mariachi / Once Upon a Time in Mexico / From Dusk Till Dawn

I understand Machete is a new movie and people would buy because of it being included so cheap but I believe From Dusk Till Dawn to be a far superior film.

What do you guys think?

I agree, Dusk till Dawn > Machete, plus the fact that he didn't fully direct Machete making it not entirely his.

That said, I think people associate Tarantino with Dusk Till Dawn too much? I dunno, didn't he direct a few scenes out of it?

QT wrote FDTD, but nobody's ever suggested he directed any of it (he was too busy acting in it - or at least what he thought was "acting"). The way the film chan ges track halfway through makes a lot of people consider the first half QT, the second half RR, but that's from prior preconceptions. Maybe you're thinking of Sin City (which was co-directed by RR and Frank Miller, and had QT as 'guest director' for one particular scene).

[brake]

yep, that's probably what I was thinkoing of
