Grindhouse (2007): a classic or blown try? Did they pull it off or not?

Also: do you like the full film, or seperate films better?

PH3AR · 02-07-2009, 06:28 AM

a classic....

they both for me = each other out...Death Proof-car chases/crashes and then Planet Terror Shoot em up,gory, zombie movie..plus they were both good movies that had a very good cast on both of em

Planet Terror!!!!!

Meh, I hated that boring a$$ movie Death Proof and Planet Terror was actually quite good until Rose McGowin's character hooked up the gun to her leg. I thought it was terribly dumb and was uninterested after that point.

i will agree it was great till then like seriouslly if i lost a leg i get a fake leg not a gun leg....and how does if u put a gun on your leg u can automatically shoot it but otherwise Planet Terror was awsome

I don't really think you're supposed to put that much thought into it . . .

Tadji Malik · 02-07-2009, 08:10 AM

I think they pulled it off and I hope that we will see more like this in the future. I'm personally hyped about a possible 'Machete' film.

'Death Proof' was the weakest part of the night with even the trailers outdoing it. I get a kick out of going to the video section and seeing a newly released 'Don't' movie. The latest one was 'Don't go in the Woods... Alone!'. Before that was 'Don't go near the Park!'.

As for the Blu-rays, I won't buy it until it is released in one set, trailers complete, scratchs and all, the way it was meant to be seen.

Planet Terror was supposed to have twisted humor throughout it. It was all part of the fictional horror director Robert Rodriguez loves. Another great example is From Dusk Till Dawn. If you take it too seriously you might not enjoy it as much. I thought Planet Terror was an instant classic... the entire concept of Cherry was subliminally unforgettable and original modern cinema at it's best.

+1000000

I totally agree. People just went nuts because Tarantino's name was on this.

andyman1970 · 02-07-2009, 01:55 PM

I never saw this in theaters so I can't say how I liked that. But considering it bombed financially, at least here in the U.S., I would say it failed and probably won't be attempted again. I also don't think we will ever see them in one set on DVD or Blu-ray. If they were planning that way not do it the first time around? Personally I liked both films, but prefer Planet Terror, even Cherry Darlings gun leg. That was just to much fun. Deathproof seemed to drag on toward the end.

quexos · 02-07-2009, 01:57 PM

I was going to vote for Titanic but it's not in the poll !

brentrent2779 · 02-07-2009, 02:23 PM

Well that is easy for me. I saw it in theaters when it came out and the whole experience was amazing right from the first made up trailer to the end and i'm pissed off that it hasn't come out on blu the whole thing all its ever about is money its annoying just bring Grindhouse out on blu like it should be people lol!!!

DetroitSportsFan · 02-07-2009, 03:14 PM

Well Grindhouse never really was released as a single film. Tarentino thought 4 and a half hours wouldn't keep people in their seats. So I think that is why people have seperated the 2 movies in this discussion. No need for a new thread on Death Proof... just really think through your new thread and these things won't happen.

Too many of the "ZOMBIE STRIPPERS: Did you like it or hate it? What did you like better zombies or strippers?" I don't know just sick of keep seeing dumb ass non thought out questions to start a thread just for the sake of startin threads. Sorry end rant!

Death Proof extended cut for me. Heck, listening to anything that Tarantino writes is worth the price of admission alone for me
