GRINDHOUSE cinemas could once be found in the sleaziest and run-down areas of America’s grimiest cities. New York’s 42nd Street was one of the most famous trash pit hangouts for de nizens of the lower depths. From dusk ‘till dawn the theatres would screen a mind-boggling assortment of movies featuring lashings of sex, gore and violence – and if you were lucky, you’d get all three! SEE for the first time ever on DVD in America you can now sit back and take a twisted trip back to the glory days of the sleazy 60s and 70s for a roaring rampage through a two-hour hand-picked collection of some of the most insane examples of trailer trash ever to slash and burn their way through a Grindhouse cinema projector. MARVEL at the fact that most ot the actual films themselves could never live up to the jaw dropping lunacy of these incredible trailers, some of which can today be considered true masterpieces in advertising and marketing. With their often hilarious voice-overs and mind-bending taglines, plus all the best bits from the movies themselves, they add up to one thing – sheer entertainment! BE AMAZED that Contemporary Directors such as Quentin Tarantino (GRINDHOUSE), Eli Roth (HOSTEL) and Rob Zombie (THE DEVIL’S REJECTS) have all since revisted these movies and have made their own supercharged movies relying heavily on the essence of many of these seventies Grindhouse cinema classics. Tarantino in particular has drawn a huge amount of his inspiration from these movies and trailers in many of his films, so we’ve included some of his favorites here – see if you can spot them! THRILL to the fact that many of the then unknown actors and filmmakers from these choice cuts went on to much bigger and better things, so it’s no surprise that these fantastic flicks have since achieved cult status, making GRINDHOUSE TRAILER CLASSICS a must-own DVD that’s ideal for parties in your very own private Grindhouse… Disc Specs: Aspect ratio: 2.39:1 Audio: English Mono Closed Captions Region 0 Run time: 129 mins Show more
