Grindhouse out on BluRay, DVD only in Canada

Posted on 5 October 2010 in Frontpage news by Sebastian 12 Comments

Grindhouse (the theatrical experience of April 2007 with versions of Planet Terror and Death Proof previously unseen on home video, including fake trailers Machete, Don’t, Thanksgiving, Werewolf Women of the SS) is out on BluRay today! Fans have waited three years to see this happen. Despite some early rumors that this version might exclude the fake Machete trailer because Robert Rodriguez has finished an actual movie based on it, are false (here is a review that confirms the integrity of the presentation, including this trailer, also refer to this review for specifications and the list of extras), and the release is chock full with interesting extras, including a 5-minute hommage to the late Sally Menke, who tragically lost her life only last week (read our news post on it).

Unfortunately, there seems to be no DVD release planned in the USA or anywhere else at the moment, the only way to get it seems to be to buy the Canadian version, which will probably have a few bonus features less than the BluRay (or the Japanese release). We encourage you to use our Amazon links, this helps to support the website, thank you!

Why in the hell would it just be Bluray? Doesn’t a sharp clear image defeat the purpose of the film anyway?

Give DVD more love….greedy basterds.

35mm has a higher resolution than BluRay. The resolution has nothing
to do with the visual quality of the source material. So a scratch
remains a scratch, on bluray it will merely look closer to how it
looked on your multiplexx screen

Any other Canadian DVD owners having a hard time finding some of the bonus features that are advertised on the packaging? 10-min cooking school? Commentaries? Where are they?

Further update: can’t find really any of the special features that are supposed to be on Disc 1, and the “10 min cooking school” advertised on the box is actually the same “10-min film school” from the Planet Terror set. Am I blind or is the box just wrong?
