Incidentally, several of the titles in the Welcome To The Grindhouse series have turned up in BCI's new 8-Movie-Collections/ Four available so far (links below). It's all Crown International stuff, so there's a pretty good mix in each set, and I stronglyl suspect anything from the "Welcome To The Grindhouse" series that isn't in the sets below will be in the next wave, now that it appears the "Grindhouse" collections are dead (thanks to the Weinsteins?).
And the prices (around $6.50 at DVDPlanet, $6 at Deep Discount) makes them an even better deal, although I'm not sure if they include the "Grindhouse Experience" trailers and snack bar ads since I've only received one of the sets so far and haven't had time to watch it. I've seen a couple of these mentioned at one other site, but it seems few are aware of all four:

Yet in all fairness, I'm halfway through with Malibu High and this one (Finally) doesn't seem as bad yet. So hopefully this collection will end on a good note.
But get Policewomen if you haven't already! That's been the only gem for me so far.

Some of these titles are essential drive-in fare: MALIBU HIGH (a definite classic), SUPER CHICK (check out the opening credits Tarantino ripped off for Jackie Brown), POLICE WOMEN, LAS VEGAS LADY, THE VAN (another classic), THE TEACHER, 9 DEATHS OF THE NINJA, TOMBOY, MY TUTOR . . .
