Reference thedigitalbits:

"We've been doing some digging, and have learned from official studio sources that the Machete trailer IS on the forthcoming Grindhouse: 2-Disc Collector's Edition Blu-ray set. As was the case with the previous DVD and Blu-ray, the trailer is actually PART of Planet Terror so it's there but just not listed in the special features. We've also confirmed that the films are the theatrical versions only."

The reason the Machete trailer isn't included ... August 12, 2010

20th Century Fox now owns all property of Machete (including the fake trailer) since they are releasing the full-length movie. It will be included on the Machete DVD/Blu-Ray.

NOT a collector's edition. August 11, 2010

Only the theatrical cuts, and for some reason they removed the Machete trailer? Fail. Non-buy. Make it the ultimate experience or stop wasting everybody's time.

Almost total package!!! August 11, 2010

I saw this movie in theaters and was kind of pissed when Miramax split it into two movies because it wasn't doing so well as one. Planet Terror was pretty good, Death Proof was OK, but the TRAILERS WERE AWESOME!!! I refused to buy the individual films because I knew they would eventually release it as a whole. They even showed the theatrical release on cable to hold me over. Unfortunately I heard they are omitting the "Machete" trailer from the beginning because the real movie is coming out soon or some hooey. I think that's crap. They should edit in the new trailer, or even better, LEAVE IT ALONE. I'll buy this version anyway, but I'll be mad if they fix it a year down the line.

The perfect drive-in experience August 5, 2010

(*very minor plot details ahead*) I had the pleasure of actually seeing this movie in an actual drive-in? Grindhouse was the perfect movie for these circumstances, reminiscent of the days of old, when people watched B-grade movies at the drive-in. The fake trailers (including one that is fake no longer - Machete, which is due out in theaters in September) are excellent and all look believable. There were even old-style drive-in commercials in between the two films (although I'm not 100% they were in the regular theatrical movie-house release). That's what made this so fun!!
The first film is Planet Terror. This is your standard B-grade horror film, with insane amounts of blood, violence, and comedy as well. Rose McGowan plays the main character, a dancer, who long story short, after a mutated virus smoke thing turns everyone to zombies, Rose gets a machine-gun leg when hers needs to be amputated due to a zombie infection. Also along for the ride are Josh Brolin, Bruce Willis, Naveen Andrews (Lost), and long-time underrated actor Michael Biehn (Terminator). If you enjoy Dawn of the Dead-type movies you'll enjoy this one.
The second film is Death Proof. I'm not sure how to characterize this film. This movie comes from the always sick mind of Quentin Tarantino. Death Proof stars Kurt Russel as Stuntman Mike who enjoys driving his stunt car that essentially "death proof". He enjoys getting in car crashes and loves to kill beautiful women along with it. This movie also stars Rosario Dawson, Zoe Bell, and Rose McGowan (again). Stuntman Mike picks on these girls, but soon may regret it as the girls try to pull a 180 on him. You have to see it to really enjoy the suspense.
So, that sums up the 2 movies and I give the following ratings: All the fake trailers and drive-in stuff: 5 stars, Planet Terror: 4 stars (I liked it but it was a bit corny here and there), and Death Proof: 3.5 stars (very action-packed but just felt real long). Total grade: 4 stars (not an avg.)
