Would a project such as the theatrical cut of Grindhouse be allowed to be distributed?

"Allowed"? No. Distributing an unauthorized copy of a copyrighted movie is illegal.

But if you wanted to discuss a preservation/recreation of the theatrical cut on this forum, and happen to mention the name of a torrent site, you would not be breaking any forum rules.

So...did the hotel happen to have Grindhouse available so that you could carry out the previously mentioned academic exercise?

They have it, but I was unsuccessful so far..

When/if someone decides to do a preservation project for these two movies, I have a Best Buy freebie disc that contains a 25 minute documentary. It's Tarantino and Rodriguez talking about the movies and it breaks down into the following subjects: "Welcome to the Grindhouse", "Badass Babes: The Girls of Grindhouse", "Renegade Guys of Grindhouse", and "Trailers of Grindhouse". I'm sure it would make a cool bonus feature for the project.

If anyone needs this for the project, I can PIF it out or give it to someone to make a torrent.

So, do the Death Proof and Planet Terror extended and unrated dvd editions contain all the fake trailers show in the theatrical version of Grindhouse?

Planet Terror has the "Machete" trailer, but that's it.

I also have the disc Rick is talking about and it has some little bits from Death Proof that were cut from the flick. Neat!

Also, that set that bigrob linked to on that message board does not have the American theatrical release version, just the two-disc editions we have here in the States released in one (four-disc) box set.

No "Werewolf women of the SS", "Don't" and "Thanksgiving"? That sucks. Is there a cam version with the "Hobo with a shotgun" trailer?

Btw, I thought "Machete" was going to be an actual movie. It's only going to be a trailer?

I'm fairly sure he's working on the actual movie. They shot a number of scenes for it during the shoot for the trailer, and Danny Trejo has been talking it up recently at conventions and the like.

Maybe it won't be that bad to try to recut the Extended Versions back to Theatrical Versions, because the japanese Discs aren't not that good.

Here is a comparison between different Death Proof DVD releases.
And Here a comparison between different Planet Terror DVDs.
As you can see the Cinematic Grindhouse Versions are very ugly.

I heard a German Release of the Theatrical Version is announced for this year (09-29-2008).

Maybe it is better than the japanese Version.

I thought that look was intended by the directors, to give the impression of an out-of-focus, worn, faded and damaged print?

Never found a hint, that the much green and the unsharpness was wanted.

And, if it was wanted, why don't these effects apply to the DVD Extended Versions, like the other "damages" whicj are added into the movies?

 

So I don't think that the green, unsharp Picture quality was wanted.

 

I will see what the german Grindhouse will look like.. *sight* ..yes, I plan to buy it... even if I own the Us Extended Versions, the German limited Extended Versions (In Tin Boxes with some little Gadgets, like smelling Discs: Gasoline for Death Proof.. something other for Planet Terror, a BBQ receipt for Planet Terror, ...) and the 6 Disc japanese Box, already.

Or you could, you know, just wait until the American edition of the theatrical cut comes out.

The release of the german Grindhouse is.. well.. delayed. Maybe it won't come, because the Movie "Planet Terror" got "Indiziert" (German word) that is some soft kind of banned. It means the movie is not allowed to be put in stores where minors can see the case, its not allowed to place advertisemnt for this Movie in public places, where minor could see them. It is just allowed to be sold in adult only sections. And so it could get somewhat unprofitable for the releasing company. (Hey.. its soooo extreemly dangerous that a minor could even know that this movie exists.. so the minors mind could be damaged...)

I heard that the german Grindhouse Version should not be presented in the Cinematic aspect ratio, because it will get a new transfer (or something like that)

The German DVD is now due out on 7 January 09, apparently.

It'll be interesting to see what the quality is like. I had a chance to compare the quality of the R2 Japanese Grindhouse theatrical and the R1 US Death Proof. The US version has the same scratched beat-up look, but in much better PQ.  (The scratches are sharper!) :-)

The Problem is, that Planet Terror got "indiziert" (no according english word known). It will not be selled in normal german stores. I will buy it if I see it somewhere. It was announced for October 2008 If I remember right, but after Planet Terror got "indiziert" It was delayed. I fear that the production studio will make a cuted version, to sell it in normal stores. I hope it will be uncut.

@Moth3r: I Allready postet 2 Links, where quality comparisons between the US Extended Disc, the German Extended Disc, the Japanese Extended and the japanese Grindhous Discs are. In Post 38
