To buy or not to buy...
I do like a steelbook & this looks good but I already have the blu-ray amray version.

Other than not owning it in a steelbook version, is there any reason why I should get this?

Unless Zavvi are chatting out their butt, the discs are reprints and have extra special features that aren't on the amaray.

 

[Phantasmic]

Any word yet on when this is going live?

 

[Phantasmic]

Spot gloss on matte????? Debossed bullet holes???? That artwork????? It's a steelbook and not an Amaray?????

There's 4 reasons right there!!!

Rose McGowan is on the cover, no more reasons needed than that!

This is the first zavvi steel of the year I'm interested in that's not Marvel lol. Interesting that they're putting both films on one disk and a separate disk for special features. You'd think they would put them on separate disks with the sf accompanying them Either way I'm in, bring on Saturday

 

[Phantasmic]

Do we know how many this is limited to?

 

[Goonboy]

THIS IS LOOKING GOOD!!!!

 

[nefilim]

I never saw B I t c h Slap but I'm gonna check it out.
Not knowing how delicate a flower you really are, Planet Terror is definitely full of gore.

Grindhouse is a double-bill that plays as a single film. Putting them on separate discs would defeat the point.

I enjoyed both Planet Terror and Death Proof, but hated B!tch Slap. If you enjoy Rodriguez other work (especially the Machete films), then I'd say you'll probably enjoy both of these. Although, Death Proof is possibly Tarantino's weakest film IMO.

Where do you get all this info lolwut ? I don't have a clue I just buy it . Your brill .

The Blu-ray site forums has a thread by HD Goofnut that compares all releases from all over the world

Well both my UK films I have in my German steel have Dolby TrueHD so if I like the new steelbook I'll stick them inside it. Yeah the German steelbook does have a nice distressed vintage look to it. But I'll decide which I'll keep once I have it in hand.

Ah yeah the extended films have HD audio but the theatrical (this one) has SD audio.

Not perfect IMO, but should be an improvement over the German steel, whose backwards art and bits of German text is a little annoying.


Uhhhh... 81-84 isn't quite "exactly 50/50, right down the middle".

What do you mean by backwards art on the German steel?

I have two words for you 'Kill Bill'.... that is a double bill that plays as a single film and they put them on separate disks in the steelbook, no?? So your point is mute my friend I'm sorry but putting them on separate disks makes a whole lot of sense!

 

[axldelarge]

I'm in love with the german version but this one screams DOUBLE DIP!

 

[leelee17]

this has the potential to be a damn nice release, plus this is THE best way to watch the 2 movies!! Definitely how I remember cinema in the 70's and 80's ( showing my age now ).

 

[psychoscot]

Kill Bill was released in cinemas as 2 separate films. Grindhouse on its initial run was one viewing. Later Deathproof got an extended Cinema release while Planet Terror went straight to dvd. Would only make sense if this was the extended versions of each film, but it isn't it's the original version with wacky trailers that should all be watched in one viewing.
