Grindhouse (double-feature directed by Rodriguez and Tarantino)

Film: Quentin Tarantino/Robert Rodriguez's Grindhouse

I have just come across the first trailer that I have seen for this Robert Rodriguez/Quentin Tarantino double B movie feature extravaganza:

This is the Robert Rodriguez half, and if it is any indication of how the whole thing is going to be, I am very very happy!

I cannot wait to see this. Mayhem galore people, mayhem galore

here is the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjCDnEkXJcE

for those of you not knowing what a traditional "grindhouse" flick is, here is a definition, taken from the trailer.

grindhouse - a theatre playing back-to-back films exploiting sex, violence, and other extreme subject matter.

PLANET TERROR: Robert Rodriguez



Rose McGowan is hot. zombies are kewl. Rose McGowan having an m-16 for a leg fighting zombies is even better.

DEATH PROOF: Quentin Tarantino



Death Proof is about a bad ass and his car. I can't make the model out of the car, looks like a Chevelle or something?

anyways, if you like B horror/action films then this double-feature should be one helluva treat.

zOMG... can't wait.

I can't remember the last time I was this excited to go to the cinema.

I must say I prefer the look of Planet Terror over Death Proof. But then Rose McGowan with a gun for a leg will prove to be too tempting for most .



Hmmm. I know, it's pretty shallow

lol @ that trailer

according to imdb's forums, these films, together with fake trailers will clock in over 220 minutes.

hahaha tribal girl. ever since I started watching Charmed I have developed a serious "thing" for Rose McGowan. I agree that Planet Terror does look better than Death Proof, but I would say Tarantino is a little more skilled of a director than Rodriguez, so who knows how it will all turn out?

oh yeah, this is another interesting aspect of the film that I forgot to mention. in anticipation for the film, the directors have decided to let a handful of other directors direct "fake" trailers - trailers that look like they should be in a grindhouse theatre, but they aren't actually in the feature. I know Rob Zombie is doing one, and I remember a friend bringing up some Japanese director, of who's name I forget at the moment.

Planet terror looks insanely stupid, Rodriguez has never made a decent film and never will. Not to mention they put the gun on her wrong leg for that poster.

Death Proof looks rather dull as well. I've seen a ton of exploitation movies and you can't just rely on violence alone, although these ones had better be violent as hell.

I cannot wait for this.

Incidentally, that looks like a Camaro.

^ yeah, could be a circa 1968 Camaro:

lol...looks good, though hopefully tarantino will go back to something more original than repeated homage.

This is going to be

FUCKING RAD AS HELL.

I will see this flick opening night (rare for me).

agreed on the rad as hell

something about the movie i came across surfin the web i found interesting

RATING WOES FOR 'GRINDHOUSE'
PrintEmailDigg ItStory Bottom

March 15, 2007 -- THE people who dole out ratings at the Motion Picture Assn. of America just might flip out when they see "Grindhouse," Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez's tribute to the ultraviolent, nudity-drenched pictures that once screened 'round the clock in the grungy movie palaces of 42nd Street.

The Weinstein Company, which is releasing the picture April 6 through its Dimension Films arm, needs an R rating for the flick to get into mainstream theaters. But, "some of it is so graphic and outrageous for a major Hollywood studio, there's no question it's headed for an NC-17 without big cuts," says a Page Six operative, who got a sneak peek at the most over-the-top footage.

"Grindhouse" is actually two short movies - one directed by Tarantino, the other by Rodriguez - with an intermission between them. During the break, a series of fake trailers will be shown for such fictitious titles as "Werewolf Women of the SS," directed by Rob Zombie.

"In one scene, a cute, topless girl is roughly tied down on a table by evil female Nazi experimenters who begin draining her blood and, as she screams in agony, they brand her like livestock with a coal-hot steel swastika," our source said. "And every girl in the Nazi concentration camp is topless."

Another trailer, directed by Eli Roth, of "Hostel" fame, is called "Thanksgiving," in which a town's celebration of Turkey Day is interrupted by a mad slasher.

"There's a part where Jordan Ladd [daughter of Cheryl Ladd of 'Charlie's Angels'] is in a car with her boyfriend and giving him [oral sex] when she lovingly reaches to stroke his hair and discovers his neck is just a bloody stump - some maniac had just cut off his head while she was in the act."

Later, a frisky cheerleader climbs onto a trampoline and begins stripping naked as she jumps up and down until she does a split and her skirt blows up without panties underneath. "You get the full 'Britney Spears-getting-out-of-the-limo view,' " our source says. Another jolting scene shows a grossly obese man chewing on a baby.

How much of these moviegoers will end up seeing is anybody's guess. "Some cuts definitely will have to be made. There's no question," conceded one studio insider. A Dimension rep declined comment.
