Probably, but I don't know for sure.

No, Machete was a trailer for Grindhouse (which was financed for next to nothing).
It was a homage to the X, XX and XXX films of the 70's (complete with film distortion and flickers). It was done for little to no money (back end for everyone) and although the trailers were AWESOME, no one set out to create the trailers with an intent to make them 90 minute films. Rob Zombie has been trying to come up with a way to make "Werewolf Women of the SS" into a feature, as has Eli Roth and "Thanksgiving". The problem with that it's akin to making a short SNL skit into a movie: It was originally conceived in short form, so how do you make it cool and relevant in long form? The short answer is that many have tried but few have succeeded. |

Right on. He was one of the best boxers in San Quinton Prison, so I hear.

It created enough buzz, that they actually made the movie. Last edited by KcMizzou; 08-31-2010 at 11:39 PM.. |

When the DVD was initially released, it was released in its entirety, more than 3 hours long. The premium cable channels generally have shown one film or the other (Planet Terror or Death Proof). The entire project was a gigantic flop. It cost more than $67 million to make, yet earned only $25 million worldwide at the box office. "Machete" was independently financed for less than $20 million, with all of the actors taking back end participation. Out of all the Grindhouse fake trailers, it has the best chance of being successful because of the backstory. The others will be far more difficult to produce. |

Man, I loved it! Planet Terror was awesome. Death Proof was too talky of course, because it's Quintin and Quintin loves to hear himself speak. And the trailers were awesome. |

I like QT because of the dialog, mostly.

Do you like QT movies? I loved it. To each his own, though.

I normally do, but Grindhouse just didn't do it for me.
