| | Posted: | | | | IIRC, Miramax only has the rights to Volumes 1 & 2 of "Kill Bill", not "The Whole Bloody Affair" version, which is controlled by The Weinstein Company. I believe the brothers got the rights to that version when they left Miramax. |

| | Posted: | | | | I have the japanese release of the First one. That one is completely in color. They don't change to B/W when it gets too gory. I doubt that that version will be out on Blu. | | | | Check out my Youtube channel under https://www.youtube.com/user/alittleolder |

The theatrical versions were only an hour each? I had no idea... Yes, when you were watching them didn't you notice that each of them had a part where it looked like the film melted in the projector and a slide came up and said "Reel Missing" and the movie jumped forward? This was done to cut the length and simulate the typical experience at the Drive-In with these super low budget movies where if part of the film got destroyed there was no replacing it. The "missing reels" were put back into the individual releases of the movie so each comes in around 90 minutes on their own. So given the choice I'd rather have the complete movies instead of what we saw in the theatres, but I'd like to see it packaged in a boxset instead of the individual movies. Maybe by the time that happens Rodriguez will have finished his full-length version of "Machete" based on the mock trailer he did for the theatrical version and that could be included in the boxset. | | | "Rules are for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men" - Douglas Bader

The "missing reels" were put back into the individual releases of the movie so each comes in around 90 minutes on their own. That's not true. First off, "Grindhouse" was 191 minutes long in the theater. Each film was roughly 85 minutes, not 60. As for the "Reel Missing", "Planet Terror" never filmed the scenes. And the "uncut" versions are 105 and 113 minutes, not 90. ETA: Also, the reason you would have a card reading "Reel Missing" wasn't because the film was destroyed. It was because the reel would be missing by the theater, i.e. never received or lost. This could happened as the prints were shipped around the country and they wouldn't bother striking a new reel for a cheap film. | | | | Last edited: by synnerman |

| | Posted: | | | | Okay, I didn't know that they actually cut out to make it shorter, but then the Grindhouse as in the cinema, back-to-back but with the whole movie... without the missing reels so to say... I like it... I like it a lot! I actually never got the chance to see Planet Terror in the cinema  The Whole Bloody Experience or Affair is the whole movie with the colour Crazy 88 part? I guess we need to keep our eyes open for the Japanese release of Kill Bill on Blu | | | | Jean-Paul |

| | Posted: | | | | Anybody know anything about any blu coloured Kill Bill version in JAP or someplace else?
Bought it on blu last week and must say the JAP DVD is still standing on top shelf in my bookshelf! | | | | We are all at the same age, only at different time... |
