Damn you Weinsteins! Stop enticing me to buy the seperate releases for awesome prices. I did it with Kill Bill but I will not do it for this one. Release the uber edition with the faux trailers and I'm in. Name your price. (Thanks OP, this'll definitely benefit non-nutty purists like me, though.)

Keep in mind that these discs have longer versions of the movies than the theatrical versions.

I think you can get them both at Five Below for $5 each.

Just buy and enjoy. I have not regretted it with the Kill Bills or the Grindhouse movies.

I did forget that these have longer versions of the flicks. Still, those faux trailers totally tied them together....I may still wind up picking it anyway though. I'm glad I did it with Kill Bill. You guys may be right. Damn impulsive side of me.

and I still think that Planet Terror is the better of the 2 films. That Robert Rodriguez knows how to make a good horror movie. From Dusk Till Dawn, The Faculty, now Planet Terror. I hear he wants to remake Barbarella if he can put Rose Mcgowen in the lead role.

Well worth that price. And if you have a 5 Below near you they can be had for $5 each.

I agree with other posters though, a theatrical cut is needed. Hell, I'd even pay a few dollars for a dvd with just the faux trailers.

I've seen these at Target for $5.50 before. I remember buying these both the day of their release. I actually watched each of them a few times each (which is kind of rare for me). Now I'm passing them along to my sister who is also a fan and am expecting the Blu-ray's to arrive soon from Columbia House.

I am, apparently, a sucker.

The Kill Bills on Blu-ray are a must have.

YMMV on this one. Stopped by Target today to pick up Dexter Season One & saw Planet Terror. Ran it under the aisle scanner several times...each time it came up $7.50.

well, they were a dollar less at the target I went to, but, even at 7.50, isnt that a great deal for the 2 disc special editions?

It's an okay deal. I saw them for $6.99 in an FYE sale bin tonight, and they had plenty of copies. An FYE membership will take off an additional 10% (in my case, it takes care of the tax).

They're also available at Columbia House if you do the club thing.

Not saying that Target's price is BAD or that they're not worth it (well, I don't think Death Proof is worth much at all, to be honest)...just that it's not like they're $3 at Big Lots or something like that. You can find them cheaper at other outlets.

Wasn't threadcrapping when I posted earlier...was just pointing out that not all Targets had them at the $6.50 price.
