I've been eagerly anticipating both of these -- glad to hear the good news!

JackBurton

I never picked up either of the Kill Bills, so I hope this set makes it worth the wait.

Matthew Ackerly

These will never come out.... Tarantino is all talk and no do.

beavis69

He better do, i want the whole thing spliced together. Ive been waiting since the release of the dvds for the whole thing together, and maybe the Michael Ja White scene put back in.

DarthMarino

As much as I love all 3 of the movies in question, Four Rooms is what really needs a better edition. That movie is so under-appreciated.

Giles

finally!!!! frickin' awesome

Michael Corvin

I thought it was pretty weak. The Antonio Banderas storyline was great, but the rest were pretty "meh."

If this Kill Bill: SE does not pan out then I will be getting this set for sure.

Lt Ripley

I thought Tim Roth was outstanding in Four Rooms, he made the first two parts enjoyable with just his mannerisms and facial expressions alone.

Giles

now if Rodriguez can unearth an unrated uncut version of 'Desperado' that would be cool as shit.

Geist

Rodriguez also said there will be a Grind House SE that shows the films without the digital dirt and print aging. If they do force them to edit it to avoid the NC-17, that would make three releases of GH.

Giles

it was stated in the latest Entertainment Weekly the two main segments went pretty much unscathed - the minimalist trims, the 'Nazi trailer' suffered the most extreme cut.

So is this actually something on the record from QT, or "a friend of a friend that knows this guy who heard something" kind of thing?

Oh? I didn't see a lot of love put into the Kill bill vol1 or vol 2 releases.

Big Worms

Let me know when they are in HD.

QFT... After finally getting into the HD-DVD world, looking at DVDs is like watching through a haze. It's horrible. I'm so spoiled.

What crazy alternate reality are you from?

Let's look at QT's filmography on DVD. "Reservoir Dogs" is arguably the most important film of the 90's yet it's only been available on DVD with a respectable presentation for a few months. Then you have the supplements: you have to own both the 10th and 15th Anniversary discs to own everything and even combined it's still not a very impressive collection of extras to say the least.

"Pulp Fiction" and "Jackie Brown" are reasonably-packed but it's apparent by watching both DVD's that Tarantino wasn't heavily involved in the extras (this goes for the "Dogs" discs too). He's never recorded a commentary for one of his own films and his level of participation in his own supplements never seems to go beyond participating in interviews.

The "Kill Bill" releases are pretty much your standard bare-bones initial releases, they're run-of-the-mill in every way.

As for Robert Rodriguez, he's one of my favorite directors and I would own every one of his films if properly presented on DVD but as it stands I only own 5 (and I hesitate to even include "From Dusk Till Dawn" due to the non-anamorphic transfer).

I don't own the "Spy Kids" sequels but it seems like they (along with the "Sharkboy and Lavagirl DVD) are very packed. The reason I don't own the "Spy Kids" sequels is because the first film is bare-bones and even before the "Sin City"-era announcement it seemed like a given that there would be some sort of box set or at least an individual release of the first film along the lines of the sequels. There still isn't.

"Roadracers" is unavailable on DVD altogether and "The Faculty" is non-anamorphic and bare-bones. The same goes for "Four Rooms".

The first two "Mariachi" films have great RR commentaries and the Ten Minute Film Schools and the latest editions have that "OUATIM" sneak peak that's pretty much redundant now. What's there is good but these two DVD's are pretty light on content overall.

"From Dusk Till Dawn" is an anamorphic transfer away from greatness but that pretty much leaves two of Robert Rodriguez's non-family movies ("Sin City" and "Once Upon A Time In Mexico") that have outstanding DVD presentations. "OUATIM" is only a single-disc but it's got about as much stuff as you could put on a single disc.

When it comes to QT I wish he would participate in his own DVD's more but I can't complain too much because the films themselves are all properly presented uncut with anamorphic transfers (even if that's only a recent development) and the extras are decent at least even without his heavy involvement but Robert Rodriguez needs to devote A LOT of time to his DVD filmography to get it up to snuff.

Mostly I'm confused...everyone seems to be asking for the films edited back together, but...how? Not only is there an additional anime segment (from what I understand), and also additional footage here and there, but the runtimes of both films (admittedly including credits) is a whopping 247m. Even if this gets released, the films are still going to be split over two DVDs...isn't that the same thing? I mean, Blu-Ray, sure, but I presume most people still have regular old SD DVD...

MGR

Is this set OOP?
I clicked on the link, and from what I can tell , there are only used copies from individual Amazon sellers available.
From 2,980 to 6,279 yen (not including S&H).

DarthMarino

I agree with this fully. I like it as two movies. If people just want the fight scene(s) to be uncut, I can understand that. But just putting them together really won't change the experience one bit. You would also lose the cliffhanger ending from Volume 1 and the intro to Volume 2. I believe those were re-edited into the films when they decided to split it up. I'm not sure about the second anime sequence. I've heard of it too but has anyone really seen proof of it. They already included a deleted scene on the DVD's.

nodeerforamonth

Or maybe he's saying that Grindhouse isn't coming out on DVD for quite a while.

mrhan

I'm sure everyone here has seen it but just in case----

rhcp1214

IMO, he means that before we see a SUPER MEGA UNRATED A LA SIN CITY disc, we will see these discs released.

DarthMarino

That's definitely a good point. The problem is that I've seen both movies so many times that if that scene wasn't there, I would probably miss it. The tone of both movies seems to be completely different so it makes it matter to me even less. It doesn't feel like they just chopped a movie in half.
