Product Description

Loud, fast, and proudly out of control, Grindhouse is a tribute to the low-budget exploitation movies that lurked at drive-ins and inner city theaters in the '60s and early '70s. Writers/directors Quentin Tarantino (Kill Bill) and Robert Rodriguez (Sin City) cooked up this three-hour double feature as a way to pay homage to these films, and the end result manages to evoke the down-and-dirty vibe of the original films for an audience that may be too young to remember them. Tarantino's Death Proof is the mellower of the two, relatively speaking; it's wordier (as to be expected) and rife with pulp/comic book posturing and eminently quotable dialogue. It also features a terrific lead performance by Kurt Russell as a homicidal stunt man whose weapon of choice is a souped-up car. Tarantino's affection for his own dialogue slows down the action at times, but he does provide showy roles for a host of likable actresses, including Rosario Dawson, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Rose McGowan, Sydney Poitier, and newcomer Zoe Bell, who was Uma Thurman's stunt double in Kill Bill. Detractors may decry the rampant violence and latch onto a sexist undertone in Tarantino's feature, but for those viewers who grew up watching these types of films in either theaters or on VHS, such elements will be probably be more of a virtue than a detrimental factor. -- Paul Gaita

 Revenge, Girl Power and Great Music February 5, 2010
Bruce R. Butler (Chicago/Austin)
This is simply the best revenge movie ever. And, with all due respect to Tarantino's other incredible films, this may have the best dialogue of all, except for Inglorious Besterds. On top of that, the soundtrack is one every filmmaker should envy. So imagine improving "Thelma and Louise", with a modern day Mad Max played by Kurt Russell going up against a modern day version of "Little Women" crossed with "Charlie's Angels" without the Charlie and focus on surface sex appeal. Then you might be able to comprehend just how blanking good this movie is. Thank you Tarantino.
Must Have January 9, 2010
M. Douglas (VA, USA)
Starts off a bit slow, but ends brilliantly! A must have for anyone who loves Tarantino, guys who love typical guy things, and for girls with an edge.
XLNT QT Flick January 6, 2010
B. D. Jones (Lakewood, CO United States)
First off, I skimmed the 1-star reviews to see what all the bitching was about- it seems people are complaining about the two movies (Planet Terror and Deathproof) being split off into separate releases, and the subsequent loss of the fake trailers from the original double feature theatrical release. Boohoo! Hey, if you were a filmmaker, you'd split a double feature in half for the dvd release too- you make more money that way- and it is show 'business', right?
So a 1-star movie that attacks the dvd release's format and doesn't address the film itself is useless.
"Deathproof" is an outstanding movie and another excellent entry into Quentin T's body of work. Interesting and quirky characters, dialogue and relationships that draw you in and make you curious- and when Rose McGowan's character gets in Stuntman Mike's car for a ride home, it is a deliberate 'don't go in the basement!' moment worthy of the goriest slasher flick. The car chase sequences are some of the best you'll ever see on screen, as 3 girls in a 1970 Dodge Challenger hunt down Stuntman Mike with maniacal joy.
Great movie, great fun, one of my favorites.
 enjoyed this movie December 24, 2009
TB (USA)
Yes there is not much plot here but overall it is a good movie. Enjoyed the dialogue between the girls in the first and second parts. Enjoyed seeing the revenge in the end. Not for everyone but Tarantino fans will not be disappointed.
not a great tarantino film November 13, 2009
L. Reynolds (in the US or Asia)
I always watch tarantino's movies because when he's good he's great (pulp fiction, reservoir dogs) unfortunately this is just not one of his great movies. I was okay but not what I anticapated.
