Gotta Love the Voice Over Work by kevinwillis.net	Jul 10th, 2008 09:45:27 AM
Classic Grindhouse.
An David Carradine! And Vinnie Jones. by kevinwillis.net	Jul 10th, 2008 09:48:05 AM
This looks like the shiznit. From the writer of Underworld. I'm there.
Nice. by HoboCode	Jul 10th, 2008 09:48:11 AM
Looking forward to this.
paint by numbers by INWOsuxRED	Jul 10th, 2008 09:52:48 AM
and casting by numbers, trailer by numbers, and script by numbers too.
Paint By Numbers is Okay by kevinwillis.net	Jul 10th, 2008 09:53:29 AM
If those numbers . . . KICK ASS!
budd's trailer by punkerkris	Jul 10th, 2008 09:55:19 AM

KIck ass with bullets and boobs by Lord Iktarr	Jul 10th, 2008 09:57:03 AM
OH yeah, this is my kind of movie to take my 8 year old BOY. after a shot of rum!
Bullets, Boobs, Beers, Bikes by kevinwillis.net	Jul 10th, 2008 10:00:47 AM
And not necessarily in that order. Michael Madsen? David Caradine? What's not to like?
Could have done it without the voice over guy... by samuraiyao	Jul 10th, 2008 10:01:55 AM
Trailer looks fantastic but the voice over guy screeched it to a complete stop... Very annoying...
this talkback has entered the void by INWOsuxRED	Jul 10th, 2008 10:03:41 AM
banished to the phantom zone
I didn't watch this but didn't you already report this? by beastie	Jul 10th, 2008 10:04:20 AM
Like 3 artical down? Anyway, I don't care what anyone thinks, I'll most likely enjoy this. I might wait and double-feature it with Rob Zombies T-Rex.
oh wait, it is back again by INWOsuxRED	Jul 10th, 2008 10:05:08 AM
what the hell is going on with this site?
Seen it all before... by adebisiUK	Jul 10th, 2008 10:21:35 AM
C'mon, bunch of bad guys who are actually not as bad as the main bad guy? And Vinnie Jones? How does he keep getting roles? Looks awful, but at least its got attractive women to help keep peoples mind off the (lack of) plot. How lazy we've become...
Yea Mr. Beaks already posted an article about this, LOL. by Mike_D	Jul 10th, 2008 10:25:46 AM
jeeze Merrick!
Fun is fun but it's time to move on... by I_Snake_Plissken	Jul 10th, 2008 10:26:34 AM
I enjoyed Grindhouse and Kill Bill, but I think we’ve officially entered homage overdose territory. I know he’s just a producer on this (and maybe just a name at that) but I’d rather see Tarantino focus on another serious film. Personally, I think that when he didn’t receive overwhelming accolades for Jackie Brown he retreated back into making critic-proof genre stuff (albeit, high concept, highly entertaining critic proof genre stuff). It’s a shame too, because I think QT can be brilliant, and I’d love to see what he could do with more subtle material.
Meat Balllsssssssss by McGooCain	Jul 10th, 2008 10:28:22 AM
If someone who looks like Jesse puts the balls of another black guy in a meat grinder who looks like Dumbo, then I am IN!!! I like movies where balls are cut off- does anyone have any other recommendations? By the way- vote for me and I will make it a national requirment for all men upon reaching age 18 to have at least one testicle removed that's a "ball" for some of you slower libertarians- for the good of the country!! You got the balls to vote for me?? then let me see them!!!
sorry to be a hater by smudgewhat	Jul 10th, 2008 10:31:57 AM
feels like every previous T flick mashed into one. maybe he should do a kids movie for some thematic variation :)
the real KUNGFU panda is back by Holgi65	Jul 10th, 2008 10:36:46 AM
and it was worth the wait... I want to watch this is in an arthouse-theatre.
It looks okay by Charlie Murphy	Jul 10th, 2008 10:37:58 AM
I'll probably see it, but it doesn't look like anything we haven't already seen before.
Crap by Therealumlaut	Jul 10th, 2008 10:39:47 AM
Looks kinda crappy.
This site needs more by INWOsuxRED	Jul 10th, 2008 10:41:29 AM
streaming commercials for ladies deoderant.
I'm all over it. by Sappers Forward	Jul 10th, 2008 10:42:25 AM
Finally something that's bound to offend someone.
has anyone EVER... by Adelai Niska	Jul 10th, 2008 10:42:49 AM
thought Madsen was good in a movie? I mena, other than shuffling around with a gas can that one time? He's still the black mark on sin city
Trailer looks awesome. by waitingimpatientlyforingloriousb astards	Jul 10th, 2008 10:56:49 AM
I'll be there.
May Not Be Anything We Haven't Seen Before by kevinwillis.net	Jul 10th, 2008 11:08:09 AM
Yet I still want to see it anyway.
THIS LOOKS BAD ASS by kenjinattix	Jul 10th, 2008 11:08:30 AM
Completely badass. This should have replace the Disappointing Deathproof in the Grindhouse Double feature.
Cuts a good trailer... by Jawa 007	Jul 10th, 2008 11:17:23 AM
...But the movie gets pretty boring. Unfortunately.
It's like Grindhouse... by Kid Z	Jul 10th, 2008 11:28:49 AM
...but it doesn't suck as much ass!
I'll pass by EightiesBaby	Jul 10th, 2008 11:28:54 AM
No substance and looks like it'll get old REAL quick after 6 or 7 witty one liners and over the top killings.
fun fun fun by Uridium	Jul 10th, 2008 11:31:22 AM
I likeeee!
Here's a new idea... by adebisiUK	Jul 10th, 2008 11:37:10 AM
Instead of a bunch of gun happy rednecks trying to appear cool driving motorcycles around in the desert, how about they tear New York apart, or start a turf war with some latinos in Hell A. At least we'd get more dramatic tension than what we have currently with this movie. Anyone else feel a little bad for the director of these movies that have Tarantino's name on them (or other director glory hoggers)? I guarantee the vast majority of people seeing this movie will go in thinking its a Tarantino movie. Okay, makes financial sense, but the director is hardly gonna get a whole lot of recognition.
Fucking Merrick... by JackLucas	Jul 10th, 2008 11:56:48 AM
I figured AICN finally gave this hack fuck the can when I saw Beaks making so many posts. Please for the love of God, stop letting this crotch-ity old bastard post. He's always a day late and a dollar short and his opinions stink of failed fanboy film maker frustration. Forgive me, just my opinion.
Larry Bishop by skimn	Jul 10th, 2008 12:04:21 PM
This guys been around since I Dream Of Jeanie and Love American Style!! It's good to see him get a break from Tarantino. But what? No role for Michael Parks?
I'm over QT don;t beilve the hype. by Mr_X	Jul 10th, 2008 12:04:44 PM
ungrateful wankers or whatever his new movie is called better just be a one movie and not a two parter. just saying.
this is old news in the sense... by mr.brownstone	Jul 10th, 2008 12:05:50 PM
that it was posted on this very site less than 24 hours ago. http://www.aintitcool.com/node /37394
not sure I like by mr.brownstone	Jul 10th, 2008 12:08:34 PM
the way Bishop apes Tarantino's directing style. 3 Dog Night or whatever the fuck it was called was painful to watch for the same reason.
Why post this twice? by Cruel_Kingdom	Jul 10th, 2008 12:15:14 PM
Someone posted this same trailer here yesterday. It's the one about the "three Bs" or whatever the fuck. Running low on news or what?
Looks decent. by mrfan	Jul 10th, 2008 12:17:04 PM
Will wait for the dvd though. Good cast.
If it was written by Tarantino I would be excited. by ingloriousjedi	Jul 10th, 2008 12:28:00 PM
But it's not. So it's only got style, no substance. FACT.
looks alright by chokinonrhodes	Jul 10th, 2008 12:50:31 PM
hell, ill give it a try.
One Complaint by Fireball XL-5	Jul 10th, 2008 01:00:10 PM
You know that shot where something explodes and the badasses walking away from it in the forground barely flinch? It was cool the first time I saw it. It's now as uncool as the 3-point landing (toes, fist, knee) other badasses make when they jump off a building.
So, this is like a real movie? And not just a trailer? by alucardvsdracula	Jul 10th, 2008 02:00:11 PM
Cause if it is a REAL movie then its gonna blow chunks and chunks of stale puke all over the screen. And in a bad way too.
GRINDHOUSE 'nuked the fridge' by vanman009	Jul 10th, 2008 02:46:07 PM
you know it!
Looks like another direct-to-video quickie by thegreatwhatzit	Jul 10th, 2008 02:54:55 PM
(usually the domain of Lionsgate: design a slick package for a turd). The babes look hot (maybe on loan from a "National Lampoon" movie) and Dennis Hopper is pretty goddam amazing.
Love This by TiNSeLToWN TeRRoR	Jul 10th, 2008 02:58:31 PM
Definately will check this out.
Pass.... by SunTzu77	Jul 10th, 2008 03:34:08 PM
I'll check it out on dvd... maybe. Execs...there are far more interesting stories out there...three words...Operation Black Biscuit.\|\|\|\|http://www.amw.com /features/feature_story_detail .cfm?id=158
Comment I wrote above... by SunTzu77	Jul 10th, 2008 03:49:56 PM
Attach Michael Mann...get Russell Crowe...gg.
Looking forward to this by Five Dollar Gold Indian	Jul 10th, 2008 04:18:16 PM
I hope they keep churning out this exploitation throwback movies. I really liked Planet Terror (and parts of Death Proof). It would be cool if they double billed this with Robert Rodriguez' Machete, but people don't have the attention span to sit through two movies.
Could be fun by drewlicious	Jul 10th, 2008 04:37:13 PM
I just hope it doesn't wear out its welcome. Grindhouse really pushed it, I still enjoyed the crap out of it but in both movies I began to squirm.
Larry Bishop? by Cletus Van Damme	Jul 10th, 2008 05:16:52 PM
Is this like when Garth Brooks became Chris Gaines?
Looks like trash...in a GOOD way! by Zeke25:17	Jul 10th, 2008 05:27:11 PM
And I'm pretty sure the guy who does the voiceover for this trailer also did MACHETE...if not, it's a damn good impersonation. By the way, who the hell is Larry Bishop?
Answered my own Bishop question! by Zeke25:17	Jul 10th, 2008 05:55:41 PM
Guy's been around for a while; also appeared in Kill Bill 2 as Michael Madsen's boss at the strip club--remember the guy giving Madsen crap about showing up late, the hat he was wearing, etc.? Well, that's him. Also, he's Joey Bishop's son, for those of you who remember the Rat Pack.
I have.... by StrokerX	Jul 10th, 2008 06:06:03 PM
ZERO interest in this movie. Just thought i should post and let everyone know.
Looks alright. by NiceGuyEddie19	Jul 10th, 2008 06:13:05 PM
But it doesn't seem to have the well-thought out/fleshed out nostalgic vibe of Death Proof, which was about the death of the hollywood stuntman as much as it was a slasher flick. QT is a genius.
Regarding Death Proof... by Zeke25:17	Jul 10th, 2008 06:24:35 PM
Yes, QT has indeed shown flashes of genius in almost every film he's written and directed. BUT! Genius is NOT casting Kurt Russell as your villain, a character you're supposed to hate but because of the man himself are instead predisposed to LIKE. Genius is NOT making most of your female victims SO unlikeable and annoying that the viewer actually WANTS Stuntman Mike to grind them into paste. And genius is NOT falling so in love with Zoe Bell that you assume everyone else will too, when in fact most of us felt kinda sorry for Mike (Kurt Russell, that is) being bounced around from chick to chick like a fucking pinball at the end of the movie. That film was really the first time I thought Tarantino had no idea what he was doing. Great idea for a film, no doubt; one great crash scene; and a balls-out-swingin terrific chase scene (props to Zoe for that one, absolutely). But at least 90% of the back-and-forth between the ladies blew chunks. (And yeah, maybe it did in the real grindhouse stuff too...but it was fucking SHORT!)
yeah I'll see it by disfigurehead	Jul 10th, 2008 06:29:18 PM

Zeke... by NiceGuyEddie19	Jul 10th, 2008 06:34:25 PM
I understand your thoughts about Kurt Russell being imminently likeable, but I felt he was able to be likeable in a very wicked, skillful way in Death Proof... I thought the casting was brilliant. As far as the annoying females, I think that's a device of the slasher film that Tarantino was employing as a sort of dramatic device to make us feel conflicted and disturbed about the movie.
Weak. So very weak. BLACK DYNAMITE does it better. by Sir Loin	Jul 10th, 2008 08:03:31 PM
Go see the trailer at slashfilm.
feels like old times by Mace Tofu	Jul 10th, 2008 09:08:15 PM
at the Grindhouse. More Please : )
It's like Grindhouse by slugbat	Jul 10th, 2008 09:11:29 PM
Without the gay
Rodriguez' Grindhouse was almost unwatchable by smackfu	Jul 10th, 2008 10:50:41 PM
but I thought Tarantino's was great. Of course it was stupid and campy but he actually made it entertaining. I actually smiled a few times and was fully into it by the final act, whereas Rodriquez segment was absolutely joyless to watch, it was a cinematic war crime.
smackfu by INWOsuxRED	Jul 10th, 2008 11:17:50 PM
I agree with your thoughts on Planet Terror, but Death Proof was 100 times worse.
Grindhouse 2? Just flush the money away... by Bill Clay	Jul 10th, 2008 11:39:20 PM
Won't come close to turning a profit. Fact.
I'm there with... by Roketopunch	Jul 11th, 2008 12:51:49 AM

CONDOMS AND BEER! by Roketopunch	Jul 11th, 2008 12:53:43 AM
Grindhouse kicked ass. Too bad not enough people got what they were doing. Exploitation movies are better than the flood of CGI crap that comes out during the summer.
Fuck this... by DocPazuzu	Jul 11th, 2008 03:51:29 AM
...and bring us HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN! What don't you produce THAT, Tarantino?
I agree with BrowncoatJedi by scortch	Jul 11th, 2008 09:38:13 AM
C'mon, if this is big, dumb and fun, who cares if it ain't "aht". Classic formula that has entertained me for years. The way I see it, Bishop is Adam Roarke, Madsen is a more cynical Big Bill Smith, and Balfour... well if Jan Michael Vincent had done a biker flick with those other two...? As for Hopper and my main badass Carradine, who cares? They're in a biker flick -together! Here's to the return of inexpensively made, pure adrenaline, kick-ass entertainment!
Hopefuly by Film.guy.Pete	Jul 12th, 2008 03:50:49 AM
this will somewhat redeem QT after "death proof"
These 70's throwback films are cool... by Jabroni	Jul 12th, 2008 04:44:34 AM
loved Planet Terror, Death Proof bored me until the actual chase, but these new takes on 70's flicks is cool. It's the same thing that Lucas and Spielberg did with serials from the 50's. I'll see it for sure.
This looks like what "Grindhouse" should have been by Drunken Rage	Jul 12th, 2008 07:35:04 AM
The voice-over was terrific. Good trailer.
Trailer voice by scortch	Jul 12th, 2008 07:48:13 AM
BTW -- For the record (MINE at least). Who DOES do that particular trailer voice (and if anyone knows who does the one on GRINDHOUSE's "Thanksgiving" trailer, too). Thanks in advance!
GRINDHOUSE missed the point by thegreatwhatzit	Jul 12th, 2008 05:20:18 PM
The movie's budget was $53 million (though some have challenged this figure, insisting that it actually broached $70-$80 million). The '70s drive-in commerce was produced on a fuckin' shoestring (under $100,000). But Tarantino cheated, inflating the budget and forfeiting synergy with B-directors like Jack Hill, Roger Corman, Joe Dante, et al. In regard to Kurt Russell (very underrated), what's the deal when he broke the 4th wall and grinned at us? It reminded me when Burt Reynolds winked at the camera in SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT. A psychotic rogue makes nice with the audience?
