There’s a lot of fun to be had in Quentin Tarantino’s 2007 entry to the Grindhouse double feature, but it’s a pretty flabby, self-indulgent flick that only became flabbier and more self-indulgent in his full length cut, which stretched the 96 minute runtime to 113 minutes. For my tastes, this is far too long for a story this slight, so I’ve slimmed it down to a leaner, meaner 64 minutes (the climactic The End hits at 57 minutes and then the credits roll). If you’ve seen Dawnrazor’s similarly-minded edit, mine takes a somewhat different approach towards how much time is spent with the girls. All the cuts are to the first half, but, once the girls arrive to check out the Dodge Challenger, I just let the movie roll, because it is nothing but fun for me from there on out.

If you already have the link to my edits, the folder is in there with my Pulp Fiction edit. If you don’t have the link yet, please send me a PRIVATE MESSAGE. This is for my ESL students so two versions are available. One with hardcoded subtitles and one without. An ESL reader of the story is also provided for anyone interested. As always, suggestions are welcome.
