What happens when hungry zombies meet a psychopath in a killer car? Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino test the B-movie limits with Grindhouse, their racy — and risky — double feature

It should surprise absolutely no one that Quentin Tarantino’s Hollywood Hills home is a shrine to arrested male development. The bright yellow ”Pussy Wagon” that Uma Thurman drove in Kill Bill can often be found parked in the driveway. And more often than not, a riot of exploitation-movie posters covers his floors like some messy teenage boy’s bedroom. But the place that truly symbolizes the 44-year-old director’s raging bachelor id, the inner sanctum of his fanboy shrine, is his screening room.

On movie nights, Tarantino’s guest list may include fellow directors like Boogie Nights‘ Paul Thomas Anderson, Shaun of the Dead’s Edgar Wright, Hostel’s Eli Roth, and Clerks‘ Kevin Smith. It may also be sprinkled with rappers and fellow kung fu movie aficionados like the Wu-Tang Clan’s RZA, or old co-workers from Video Archives, the Manhattan Beach video store where the high school dropout got his unofficial Ph.D. in cinema studies.

Only two weeks prior to the film’s release, Grindhouse finally has been given an official MPAA rating:

The Grindhouse is officially open for business as MPAA just gave Dimension’s upcoming film an R rating for “strong graphic bloody violence and gore, pervasive language, some sexuality, nudity and drug use”. We’re going to look into just how much was cut from the film, but this is great news considering it sounded like an NC-17 was inevitable.

March 22, 2007
The world premiere of Grindhouse will be held on Monday March 26, 2007 at the Orpheum Theatre (842 S. Broadway) in downtown Los Angeles. Be sure to go and see the red carpet if you’re in LA or just tune in for pictures right here at Rose-McGowan.com!

Grindhouse Clip Shown at SXSW Fest.

Blaxploitation flicks, badly dubbed kung fu movies and spaghetti Westerns. Cheesy effects, corny dialogue and lousy technical quality. Sex, violence and gleefully over-the-top gore. All of this and so much more — or less, depending on your perspective — inspired Grindhouse, which longtime friends Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino co-directed.

Rodriguez showed an early clip from the movie Sunday at the South by Southwest film festival before its scheduled April 6 opening.

He and movie guru Harry Knowles, creator of the Austin-based Ain’t It Cool News Web site, also gave the hundreds of fans in the packed audience a crash course on what exactly constitutes a grindhouse flick. (The name comes from the fact that theaters would grind out double and triple features of such B-movies.)

- Rodriguez and Tarantino Present Grindhouse!

Directors Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino world premiered footage from their new exploitation double feature Grindhouse at the San Diego Comic-Con on Saturday. The clip shown was cobbled together from the first of the two features – the Rodriguez-directed "Planet Terror" – a zombie flick.

The footage shown – with an intentional grainy, camp-like effect – kicked off with a sheriff's deputy busting into his cop shot ranted about just having his finger bitten off by a suspect he arrest. The other deputies and sheriff in the office all grab guns and proceed out to the cruiser. The cops stalk the cruiser but the detainee has escaped through a shattered rear window. The deputy asks if they see his finger. They don't... but they do find his ring.

From here the clip cuts to trailer-type piece for an anti-hero named Machete! – a tough looking biker type that wears a trench coat lined with very long knives and swords.

Then bam! – another segway, but this one goes into full on zombie action. It is unclear where the zombies are coming from, but a hospital seemed to play a central role. Freddy Rodriguez and Rose McGowan are there. Rose's character, Cherry, had an unfortunate scrape and has lost her right leg above the knee. When Rodriguez tries to get her to flee the now undead infested hospital, she exclaims "I don't have a leg!" This moves Rodriguez to walk over to a nearby table, break off one of its legs and jam it on the end of McGowan's bandaged stump. "You do now!" he says.

More zombie action follows as the two escape the hospital. In a later scene, Rodriguez offers McGowan a gift – a heavy-duty machine gun that clips onto her stump. Now with a machine gun as a leg, McGowan mows down several zombies with one, effective round-kick spray!

Tarantino, whose "Death Proof" (a slasher movie and the second of the Grindhouse features) starts shooting in about four weeks, told attendees at the Con that he always wanted to make a exploitation film that lived up to the cool poster artwork that accompanied most of the vintage exploitation movies.

"We're going to make two, sleazy grindhouse movies that will deliver on the posters… and beyond!" said Tarantino. "This isn't some Twilight Zone the Movie f*cking thing. This is not a faux double feature. This is two f*cking movies for the price of one! You're $10 will be well spent at the Grindhouse, baby!"

Rodriguez said the "Planet Terror" shoots were solely at night and that he is talking with John Carpenter about providing music for the feature. (Source)
