You get everything you need so why wait? Order it now and show these two dudes that we fucking LOVE there movie! PEOPLE!

I haven't seen Planet Terror, but im convinced that it is just as good as Deathproof. They are out 2 buy and it'll cost me £21 to purchase both films separately. Im waitin 4 the grindhouse boxset, is it released in the uk? Please let me knw. Hi i have only seen Deathproof and i loved it.

After reading some of the comments here, I thought I should clear a few things up as it seems there are many people who have misconceptions about both this box set and Japanese DVDs of American movies. Disc 5: The Theatrical Cut: yes the fake trailers and intermission adds are on here. The only one missing is Hobo With A Shotgun which didn`t surprise me since it mostly only played here in Canada and some parts of the U.S. Japanese DVDs of American and other foreign movies: they make their foreign language DVDs the same way we do. You can turn off the subtitles and listen to the original language track(in this case English). You don't have to be able to read the setup menu, just use the audio and subtitle buttons on your remote. Do you need a multi-region player since it's R2? No. Most or at least many R1 DVD players have simple region hacks that use your remote. Go to videohelp dot com, click on DVD Hacks and find your brand and model number to see if there is a hack. Mine for example is: open tray, press 789 OK and then 0 for region-free or 2 for R2 or whatever. That's it. Simple. You can set it back to R1 anytime(though I don't know why anyone would want to) by pressing 1 instead 0. I hope that helps a bit. As you may have seen on other websites like Amazon Japan, the discs look like 45s records and the box looks like an old beat up piece of crap which makes it a super cool set that is absolutely worth owning.

But,the fake trailers aren't included,so that's kind of a rip-off,right? Why not have the whole package??? Probably couldn't get the rights to them,I guess..I was wondering,when the HELL is Kill Bill:The Whole Bloody Affair going to be released????

I'd rather buy the 6 disc japanese version than the US release of Grindhouse. The Weinstein Company handled Grindhouse (in the states) poorly from the beginning. I'd be nice to see this released. At least the 191 minute theatrical cut. This is why dvd regions should be eliminated. I’d rather buy the 6 disc japanese version than the US release of Grindhouse.
