I’m very excited about this!

disc 5 is the one for me

thing is i already bought the ‘uncut’ 2dvd editions of both films so i don’t really need all 6 dvds.. (ill prob just download dvd5 from the set)

I hope they release just the theatrical cut as a 2dvd set? that would be nice..

Or this set on bluray! that would make it worth buying the complete set again.

Here’s the way I see it . . . the American movie going public (or lack of it) let GRINDHOUSE wither on the vine during it’s theatrical run

FanBoys have no one but themselves to blame for the state of the DVD releases.

The Japanese get all the cool stuff first because media there is very expensive- so they will most likely pay $200 for this set. Since people in America bitch, you get less, later- and will most likely have to buy it again after a year or so “with new material they had lost but just found”.

Seems hugely over the top for a film that flopped.

I’ve been waiting for the boxset myself but I certainly dont want a 6 disc megabucks edition.

I’d settle for a couple of disc with the fake ads, or a couple of HD ones.

Wow that’s a comprehensive package! Quentin Tarantino treats Japan to some sweet goods, like the extended version of Kill Bill.

I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for this in the west… I picked up Kill Bill pt. 1 from Japan for the extended and more violent cut, in the knowledge that eventually it’d be released in the US or here in the UK, and guess what? Still no sign of it, or the ‘whole’ cut, in cinemas or on DVD. Miramax et al. have no interest in providing what you want unless they can monetize it, and Grind House flopped.

I think he means the menu options in Japanese, not the actual audio track. My only complaint is that I live in Japan and can tell you that right now, 9.975 yen does NOT translate into 65 bucks. It’s a lot closer to $90.00 right now due the weakness of the dollar. It’s worth a little more than the yen, but otherwise, expect for more than $65.00 to come out of your pocket before shipping.

“but I would rather wait for a North American release so I don’t have to find a translator every time I choose to watch the film.”

Ummmmmm…..

Doug, you are aware that in the DVD specs it says the movies will include the orginal english track, right?
