Grindhouse: A Blood-Soaked Revival That Deserves a Second Look

- Quentin Tarantino. Robert Rodriguez. Rob Zombie. Edgar Wright. Eli Roth. Back in 2007, these five filmmakers joined forces, all contributing to the same project. A film that brings us sights like deformed, decomposing zombies. Vehicular homicide. Limbs replaced with weaponry. Danny Trejo wiping out bad guys. A holiday slasher. Supernatural beings dripping white goo. And even some Nazi werewolves. It was a fun experiment... and a box office bomb. The film is called GRINDHOUSE - and we think it’s time for it to be REVISITED!

I saw Grindhouse in theaters and remember being so disappointed that almost no one was there, truly heartbreaking. Especially when everyone was complaining how much it cost to watch one movie in the theaters. To make it worse the same people that didn’t go cause it was “too long” ate up the Lord of the Ring films, which is just 3 hours of people walking. 🤦🏻♂️ People are why we can’t have nice things
I actually did see the full Grindhouse in theaters back in 2007. I had to drive 2 hours to the only theater that was showing it, and in truth seeing this movie in the theater is one of my top best theater-going experiences of my life. The whole audience was would react to the humor, the gross-out parts, and applauding when the film ended. This movie is something that everyone should experience at least once in their lives
It’s really too bad more people didn’t give this a chance. I saw it in the theatre with friends. To this day it is still the only time I have ever gone to a movie where the entire theatre cheered and gave it a standing ovation. It was incredible.
Everyone loves it, what are you on about?
Watched this like 6 times in the theater. My gf didn’t know what to think 😅
I watched this opening night when it first came out. The theatre was packed, and everyone was laughing and cheering enthusiastically. I was surprised to later learn that the film bombed at the box office, given how much fun everyone in the audience seemed to be having.
This is a fun movie to see in the theater. "DON'T" and "THANKSGIVING" you're my favorite trailers. Both movies were fun gory, and well made. I think releasing the movie on Easter hurt its box office
Agreed 😊
Death Proof is Quentin Tarentino’s masterpiece. It also is probably his most personal movie. The reversal of predator to prey, the relentless foot imagery, the final annihilation of the villain at the booted heel of a powerful feminine figure. He uses slasher and revenge movie tropes to express his clearly masochistic desires. The upending of established, perhaps toxic, power structures is a core theme to many of the stories he likes to tell. I think this is what is so great about a lot of B or grindhouse movies…they look to challenge and provoke the status quo.
Tarantino has a lot more impactful masterpieces but DeathProof is excellent
I wish we had more modern movies like this, very gonzo, creative, over the top, and really fun
Tarantino and Rodriguez are genius legends. Always loved DeathProof.
I never understood why it wasn’t more beloved!!! My love of that particular Mopar had a lot to do with my love of it… but they were absolute solid old fashioned ‘grind house’ movies!!
@@AnnieBoBannie421 I think it's appreciated and loved a lot more now than back then, I remember it being a big deal when it came out but not as much as it deserved
Watched it in theatres. I live in Canada and they actually asked me for ID so my dad took me to a different theater and snuck me in. I loved it. Still one of Mt favorite movies
I saw Grindehouse when it came out in the theater ❤️ it's was a seriously stormy night...perfect for a classic grindehouse experience! I own both movies and watch them often, but that first movie house viewing was brilliantly unforgettable and I'm grateful to have had the moment!! ❤️🧡
I remember seeing it in theaters. The crowd loved Planet Terror. About 20 min into death proof the audience started leaving
Watching Grindhouse opening weekend with a decent crowd was one of the most fun movie going experiences of my life.
Out of the 2 films...I fell in love with the slow burn and dark subtly of Deathproof. ❤️ such a great classic film!
This was the most fun-filled three hours I had in theaters when I was 21 going on 22 and already into my junior year in college! Already I was talking to fellow classmates who said they were going to see it, and after I saw it at the Beaucather Cinema across from the Asheville Mall - which is no longer there - I was just howling up with others on and off the campus how great it was.
I have even met Tom Savini more than once, as the head of the Mass Communications department at my alma mater had close ties to him, and I got to get a poster of this film autographed by him! He even brought one of the corpse dummies from the Planet Terror segment to one of his talks!
I saw it in Chicago. Opening night, the theater was packed. I enjoyed every moment. Both movies, the trailers, the vibe that was going on in the theater. I thought it would be huge. Oh well, I love it. Watch it every year.
Found the actual Grindhouse double feature dvd on eBay and it was quite expensive but I had to have it
I skipped church services in order to see it on April 6, 2007...and I don't regret that ONE BIT. Seeing this at my local cinema was a wonderful experience.
church on a Friday?
I was so fortunate to get to see this when it was in theaters back in '07. I really dug the whole experience. I still enjoy watching it (all together) on blu-ray; however, setting aside the 3+ hours needed is sometimes challenging. No matter though, this is the way it should be experienced. If you haven't had the pleasure of doing so, check this out ASAP. You'll ultimately be glad you did. Cheers all...and Happy Thanksgiving!
Seen Grindhouse in theater & at the drive-in the 2nd time i seen it, it was a good viewing experience. Because of that I'm glad they made a blu-ray of the theatrical cut(both films in 1,fake trailers,ect.), it's only blu-ray I'll hook up the mini projector to watch.
I also caught this in theaters. It was such a great concept. It's honestly a tragedy this bombed. I wish it had started a movement.
I saw this in the theatre...what was funny is after the 1st film a lot of people were up and leaving as they do during the credits. I remember this part so much, there was a small group of guys getting up to leave so I say hey where are you guys going the movie is not over..they looked confused then I explained that was film 1 film 2 is next and it happens to be the Tarentino flick. They sat their asses down and the smile on their faces full of gratitude , I will never forget.😂😂😂😂
Was devastated when the Australian theatrical release was canned after it flopped in the US. We ended up getting a stand-alone release of Death Proof in cinemas, and Planet Terror went direct to dvd.
2nd look? I've watched this flick like 100 times. And I can also do double feature of "Machete" and "Hobo With A Shotgun". Now with "Thanksgiving" finally made, I think I'm gonna have to do an all day marathon at some point.
What Planet Terror is one of the most underrated zombie movies ever made I worship this movie
I Fucking love these movies!!! When Jeff Fahey says "That boys got the devil in him!" I lose my shit every time!!
Planet Terror it's my favorite zombie movie of all time and cemented Robert Rodriguez as one of my top 5 directors...
I love this movie! Born in the 60's, I watched many grindhouse movies at the drive-in and theaters. Those trailers were great!
If you were old enough to remember and gone movie theaters in the 70’s and early 80’s. You experienced drive-in’s and double features. Unfortunately, Grindhouse theaters were mainly in urban areas. Glorious and total madness.
To this day, STILL one of my ALL TIME favorite theater experiences was seeing this double feature!!!
I remember going to see this at a theatre a few towns over, right after Easter dinner. Bless my older sis (I was 16, she was 20) who took me cuz I can't imagine she enjoyed it sitting there for 3 hrs but I was all kinds of stoked.
W sis
I saw Grindhouse in the theater and I enjoyed myself and totally understood what they were going for with the movies. Death Proof is my favorite film and Thanksgiving is my favorite fake trailer. The double feature is worth a watch.
Those fake trailers were awesome! Remember searching for them on the early days of CZcams! When Machete finally became a real thing i was super hyped for it! Machete was so much fun!
Saw this 4 times in the theater. Refused to buy the separated dvds until they released the theatrical format. It was my first bluray.
Rodriguez said in interviews he wasn’t going for making Planet Terror a 100% 70s low budget throwback. The action is purposefully over the top because it looks like what a lot of AIP directors wished they could afford to do. Kinda like if an 80s slasher movie rose to the level of intensity that the poster and VHS box art promised.
I saw Grindhouse in theaters with my best friend at midnight and absolutely loved every second of it. I got the Special edition blu-ray that as the theatrical double feature with the trailers. It's great because you can't really find the trailers except on youtube. It's nice having it all in one package.
Currently awaiting my blu ray from via visions to come from Australia to watch this in all its glory.
The reason why I like to write and love movies started here. These two movies shaped me. Literally. The fact that people didn't wanna see it is crazy
Say what you want about the idea, as a kid all I knew was that somehow we were paying for one ticket and getting two movies. I was good for it, but my Dad groaned pretty hard. But at least he liked Death proof for the second feature more than Planet Terror
Death Proof is one of my favorite movies of all-time!
I grew up the era of grindhouse movie's per-say, 1970's & 80's which in time i learned it goes even further back then that, all the hammer vampire movies & some of the craziest & disturbingly horror movies, oh can not forget the ton's of spaghetti western movies my dad had me watch as a kid, & i am so thankful i got to see & live in that era, cause now in 2023 i get asked about a lot of those movies the good & bad ones mind you
Planet Terror is absolutely fantastic Rodriguez threw everything at the wall . It really doesn't get the love it deserves
I know what Tarantino was going for with Death Proof and it works for its assignment , despite some great setpieces it just falls a bit flat unfortunately.
The faux trailers are nothing short of Legendary
Tom Savini's character in Planet Terror is hilarious gets his wedding finger bit off slips his ring on to middle finger and shoots a zombie
i was working at our theater when it came out and saw it 2-3 times a week while it was running. such a unique fun experience. i managed to get the actual double feature blu ray before the company messed them up and started selling “grindhouse” but it was just the two separate movies on two separate discs.
This movie never came out in my country, England. After it flopped in America we just got the two movies released separately. I was so looking forward to seeing it😢
Let’s start a campaign to get it rereleased on blue ray.
I’m so grateful I saw this in theaters when it was released.
The Grindhouse double feature wasn't shown that way in all countries. Here in Germany we had instead both films seperately in a longer version, each about 20 minutes longer than the Grindhouse version.
In Canada there was a fifth trailer. Hobo with a shotgun. Great movie with Rutger Hauer. Filmed in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
Good video!! Saw these films in the theater when they came out. Enjoyed the heck out of "Planet Terror" and still watch it yearly -- just love the bomkersness of that movie!!! Really did not care too much for "Death Proof" though will still watch sometimes.
I watched Planet Terror and Deathproof again a couple of days ago and I completely agree we need it
To my knowledge it wasn't released in the UK. I first saw both films as the separate movies on DVD. I liked them both but Planet Terror was my fave. I finally got to see it as intended eventually when I got a copy of the Bluray. Need to revisit it with the fake trailers & all.
I saw the double feature on opening night and it’s one of my favorite movie memories. The commercials, the aura of this film is fucking perfect.
It's good to hear Lance Vlcek's voice again.
I saw this in the theatres as “grindhouse” I didn’t know anything about the movie remember going @midnight release everyone loved “Planet Terror” and trailers and then started to leave a staff member came in to say another movie starts soon. Half theatre left
I saw it 3 times in the theater. I even talked my parents into going.
I love planet terror. I knew these movies were related as "grindhouse" but i did not know it was a double feature..
I was so excited for this when it came out and still love it to this day. Its a great tribute to old school grindhouse movies, im scottish and knew exactly what it was as im a huge fan of Grindhouse. I just thought the Americans would of got it no problem but how wrong was i? Flop or not i think this is a wild ride and the fake trailers were all amazing!
Putting a movie like Death Proof right after Planet Terror was a massive risk. While I love both films, the adrenaline drop from the change is something that should have been expected. The problem with that is that starting off with Death Proof is also a risk that afterwards people would say "alright that's enough". I'm sure they had to have a discussion about this. It's hard to figure out I guess but Death Proof isn't a great choice for a double feature I don't think.
I remember seeing planet terror as I loved Rose McGowan and the trailer sold me. I was sad it didn't do well... also I can barely hear cause of the audio dunno if its the mic
Gotta love Lance, definitely my fave narrator at JoBlo, there's so much passion in his voice when he talks about movies...He also likes a nice Old fashioned so that alone makes the guy f*ckin awesome 🤣
HA! Damn right
@@JoBloHorrorOriginals 😜
Appreciate it, dude
Both movies were awesome
Planet Terror was my favorite
Plus both were filmed in my Town of Austin TX 😎👍
Happy Thanksgiving All 🦃👋
One of my all time favorite theater experiences!
I saw it in theaters and loved it, it was definitely the way to go. Initially I wanted to go because it was the only way to see the first full trailer of Zombies Halloween remake but as I saw more I thought it looked great and I'm so glad I went. Going to see Thanksgiving tomorrow lol
I saw this in the theater. Tarantino tends to put in a lot of dialogue, but on the whole, it was a great movie. That car chase scene was phenomenal. We literally cheered at the end. Such a fun time!
Seen the double feature in theaters once and had a blast watching it before it got split up a few weeks later
Shame this didn't pick up as a franchise on its own. Would've loved to see takes on more Grindhouse cinema. With the fake trailers becoming their own movies, maybe they could try again.
It’s hilarious that Death Proof has been criticized because it’s one of my favorite movies from Tarantino.
Also, Don’t and Thanksgiving are my favorite fake trailers and Edgar Wright NEEDS to make Don’t.
Saw this double feature a few days after prom back in the day. We played Ships Mast on the way home and someone called the cops on us.
I loved these movies. Seriously underrated.
This is one of my favorite theater experiences of all time and the Blu Ray experience is awesome 😎
Love grindhouse one of my favs. Death proof had to grow on me. But as an adult I share this double feature with everyone.
Never watched then Rodriguez half, but I love Death Proof (at least the extended version I wound up seeing.)
I need to watch this again it’s been years
Yeah I remember when this came out I remember being lucky enough to see it in the double feature format it was an experience
Best production and direction ever!
So glad i was able to see thìs in the theatre😎
I absolutely adore this double feature truly magnificent.
We sat through all 3 hours in the theater!!
I dont know anyone who didnt like grindhouse. I also dont know anyone who wanted to stay 5 hours in the theater 😂
Death Proof was 🔥 to me back in the day! Honestly I don't even remember Planet Terror and the various previews other than Machete of course.
I saw this at the drive-in! It was perfect.
Still hands down my favorite theater experience ever. That includes midnight releases of Star Wars films.
Unfortunately it came out during Easter and competed with Passion of the Christ
Death Proof was so good. It’s the only movie I can think of where a character starts as a boogeyman/slasher villain antagonist and becomes frightened prey by the end. Actually the one thing I can compare it to is the sudden change of genre in From Dusk Til Dawn but that doesn’t count for obvious reasons
These movies hold up really well.
I've only watched these movies once, and felt like it was enough. They weren't terrible but they weren't very good either. I think they should have either made serious content or gone all in on something that could be featured on Svengoolie. Instead it's like they couldn't decide and didn't commit to a direction.
I love Death Proof. It might be my most rewatched Tarantino film.
Now we just need Edgar Wright's DON'T and Rob Zombie's Werewolf Women of the S.S.
I still love Grindhouse watch it a few times a year ❤
I watched this the opening week so many people left after Planet Terror and didn't come back.
Grindhouse was the best time i ever had it the movies.
I think the biggest mistake was giving the movie a wide release. I mean, who were these movies for?
Me & my friends? 😄 We dug it 👍🏽 But we’re movie fans - A minority.
We never had the “grindhouse” here in the U.K. But we did have our equivalent in the Curzon & Prince Charles theatre & such. Double bills? Bah! We’ve done all night marathons
I am still waiting for a sequel. Or a TV series.
I think that it was too cool for the crowds. They should have released the films individually and saved the double feature for a home release.
Btw, Death Proof is an amazing movie.
I keep trying to persuade our local drive in owner to feature flicks like this an other classics for the Wednesday night summer lineup. If you play it they WILL come !!!
Saw this & Loved it in the theater 😊
OOOO I HAVE BEEN WAITIN FOR THIS VIDEO
Is Planet Terror the best zombie movie? No. That honor still goes to the original Living Dead trilogy. It's one of the most fun zombie movies ever. I can only describe it as a video game with actors. I'd recommend it for anyone not looking for a serious drama in a zombie movie.
For my part I think ultimately Grindehouse was a project by cinephiles for cinephiles.
Absolutely loved this film!
I'm surprised that Rob Zombie making a short film that had to be cut down to only a trailer or the fact that people left after the first movie not realizing that it was a double feature were not mentioned in this review
