Reference thedigitalbits:

"We've been doing some digging, and have learned from official studio sources that the Machete trailer IS on the forthcoming Grindhouse: 2-Disc Collector's Edition Blu-ray set. As was the case with the previous DVD and Blu-ray, the trailer is actually PART of Planet Terror so it's there but just not listed in the special features. We've also confirmed that the films are the theatrical versions only."

I had the privilege of seeing Grindhouse with a packed house of movie eager movie watchers and it was an experience that was unlike any other!

I was very disappointed with the decision to split these releases and remove many of the great fake trailer that were included in the original theatrical release!

I am very excited that the decision has been made to finally release the original double feature, fake trailers and all!

The perfect drive-in experience August 5, 2010

(*very minor plot details ahead*) I had the pleasure of actually seeing this movie in an actual drive-in? Grindhouse was the perfect movie for these circumstances, reminiscent of the days of old, when people watched B-grade movies at the drive-in. The fake trailers (including one that is fake no longer - Machete, which is due out in theaters in September) are excellent and all look believable. There were even old-style drive-in commercials in between the two films (although I'm not 100% they were in the regular theatrical movie-house release). That's what made this so fun!!
The first film is Planet Terror. This is your standard B-grade horror film, with insane amounts of blood, violence, and comedy as well. Rose McGowan plays the main character, a dancer, who long story short, after a mutated virus smoke thing turns everyone to zombies, Rose gets a machine-gun leg when hers needs to be amputated due to a zombie infection. Also along for the ride are Josh Brolin, Bruce Willis, Naveen Andrews (Lost), and long-time underrated actor Michael Biehn (Terminator). If you enjoy Dawn of the Dead-type movies you'll enjoy this one.
The second film is Death Proof. I'm not sure how to characterize this film. This movie comes from the always sick mind of Quentin Tarantino. Death Proof stars Kurt Russel as Stuntman Mike who enjoys driving his stunt car that essentially "death proof". He enjoys getting in car crashes and loves to kill beautiful women along with it. This movie also stars Rosario Dawson, Zoe Bell, and Rose McGowan (again). Stuntman Mike picks on these girls, but soon may regret it as the girls try to pull a 180 on him. You have to see it to really enjoy the suspense.
So, that sums up the 2 movies and I give the following ratings: All the fake trailers and drive-in stuff: 5 stars, Planet Terror: 4 stars (I liked it but it was a bit corny here and there), and Death Proof: 3.5 stars (very action-packed but just felt real long). Total grade: 4 stars (not an avg.)

IT'S ABOUT TIME!!! July 29, 2010

though the two movies are great separate, the actual double feature with the fake trailers experience is so much better. I hope that they release it as an extended edition. if not ill still buy it.

The reason the Machete trailer isn't included ... August 12, 2010

20th Century Fox now owns all property of Machete (including the fake trailer) since they are releasing the full-length movie. It will be included on the Machete DVD/Blu-Ray.
