Almost perfect, don't believe the one star reviews.
This set is getting bad reviews, based on a few people who really don't know what they're talking about. One of the reviews gave the blu ray a one-star review because this set isn't available on DVD. How does that make sense? Some other reviews, bashed the fact that these aren't the "extended" versions. Of course there not, you can already buy those. The point of this set is recreate the entire theatrical experience, so of course they have the theatrical cuts of the film and in my opinion, this is the way these films were meant to be seen. Also keep in mind that most of those bad reviews, came out before this edition did, therefore they aren't first hand reviews and are inaccurate.
I received the set today and it's great, packaging is great incredibly detailed and really adds to the feel of the fims. The movies play just as they did in theaters, which to me is the best way to see them and it is packed with special features, a good amount of them exclusive to this set. If you...
THEATRICAL EDITION
This is the long awaited "Theatrical Version" of the film. It does not contain the "Directors Cuts" - You should already have them!
It is not 2 separate movies, its one long 3 hour movie.......as originally seen in theatres.
"The Machete trailer that everyone is stating isn't included"....... FACT! Machete plays before Planet Terror as it was supposed to.
It never screened alongside the other "fake" trailers during the intermission.
This version has only been available as an import from Japan and an enormous mark up, so pre order now!
This is a spectacular edition
What more could anyone possibly want from the long awaited debut of GRINDHOUSE on region 1 video? This is far superior to the previous extended version releases, including all of the trailers and fun bits that made GRINDHOUSE so great. The double feature versions play much better than the padded extended versions available on the previous seperate video releases. Everything about this release screams QUALITY. As far as the PQ goes, this looks as good as a film that is deliberately made to look battered and worn can look. Much has been made about the lack of a lossless audio track but again, the audio track is full of pops and hisses added to make the film seem worn out so I think the standard 5.1 is fine. As far as the extras go . . . there are too many to go into. It takes more than a day to watch and listen to everything that is included on this release. There are extended versions of the trailers as well as audio commentaries for them, storyboard comparisons, interviews,...
