Death Proof - 9/17/07
I'm sure people are gonna say that this should be in the Grindhouse section, but come on, it's DEATH PROOF.

Here's to hoping the Weinsteins put their first DTS track on the DVD and all the missing footage is on the DVD or the Cannes Cut is included.

I can't wait to see the full cut. I'll definitely get this and an extended Planet Terror separately as well as the full Grindhouse double-feature if they put that out.

Ya, agreed, it looks like Weinstein is still disappointed and angry and wants to ignore the whole "Grindhouse" thing which was the whole point of the project to begin with. I have absolutely no interest in these supposed separate releases.
I would love a decent DVD release of the original theatrical "Grindhouse" film experience - so if anyone can direct me that way, I'd be more than thankful. It doesn't look like we're going to see the original theatrical version from Weinstein anytime soon. What a shame at the idiocy going on in this company.

Hopefully there will be a foreign LE that has them both together. I have no want to watch these seperate. Plus i feel cheated that i would have to buy two diffrent dvds when i saw the movie at the same time. Especially if they are 20 bucks each

Even if it was put as a single GRINDHOUSE release they would probably be on seperate discs anyway.

Same here, The whole point to "Grindhouse" was to bring that style to modern audiences.

But if these singular, extended versions have good word of mouth, I may end up getting them as well.

So I doubt a stand-alone DVD release of this basically unknown entity called "Death Proof" which had basically no theatrical marketing of its own will bring in the $100 million Weinstein needs to make his money back. Once again, if they were smart, they'd release all 3 options: "Grindhouse" and the two separate films. Some of us would buy all three if it was done that way. But by releasing only the two separate films, a lot of us will buy NONE. Hmmm ... really smart business plan.
And as far as the comment that "Grindhouse" would be on two discs anyway, first of all that is not necessarily true. Secondly, it's not simply the point that these two films are being released separately. It's that they are being cleaned up, missing reels re-inserted, no scratches, trailers may or may not be included, etc. It's not "Grindhouse" anymore.

The real irony here is that if these were actually popular Grindhouse films, we wouldn't care at all about repeating the experience of seeing them in the theaters. We'd want the best possible print in a film-specific release.

Anyone who's angry over the separate releases because they missed it in theaters only have themselves to blame. If it was a huge hit than we would be more likely to see a full grindhouse release...just sayin'.
