In our quest for better sound and video quality, we’ve forgotten how much fun grindhouse can be. I wasn’t sure if I would like it, but I seriously couldn’t wipe the grin off my face the whole time. It brought back memories of drive-in theaters and worn out VHS copies of Star Wars that I watched over and over.
I loved how the lost, deleted footage was re-integrated. It was a lot more fun than watching them individually and brought them to life in a way ‘Deleted Magic’ and ‘Star Wars Begins’ couldn’t quite pull off. (Of course, they were documentaries, not feature films). Also, the red eyes and blood spatters were inspired. My only complaint is a small one … while I enjoyed most of R2′s subtitles, some of Vader’s voiceovers didn’t quite work for me. I appreciated the attempt (and the work that went into choosing the samples), but many of them were either too goofy or didn’t fit the scene.
Overall, it was the most fun I’ve had watching a fanedit … great work!
