Been meaning to watch this for probably close to a year. Watched it just now. I LOVED it!! The new opening is a great way to get the story going. The new ending was also a great way to get to the conclusion faster. The commercials are what did it for me. It was definitely cool seeing commercials for stores based in NYC since that’s where I’m from.

My only dislike was presenting this in black and white. I was really looking forward to see the grainy-ness and color deterioration. Now, I understand that since the original is in black and white, maybe that’s what you were going for. Then again, I was born in 1984, so I obviously can’t connect with what you’re aiming for from a nostalgic viewpoint. However, what attracted me to this fan edit is my obsession for nostalgia. I loved Grindhouse. I can still remember the commercials and tv station logos for movies I watched as a kid that my mom taped off of tv. Also because this is one of my favorite movies of course.

Anyway, overall this was a great edit. 9/10.

First of all, I wish I had gotten this LONG ago! I loved it! This was a great movie to do over in this style. The feel of it was perfect, from the darkness, to the hard cuts, to the odd choices for commercial breaks, etc… (nice ads, too. I remembered a couple of them) Everything clicked.

I’m going to be highly recommending this for sure! I’ll give it a well deserved 9/10. :)

P.S. If you can, try to catch “Off Beat Cinema” (http://www.offbeatcinema.com/), which I catch Saturday nights on the Buffalo ABC affiliate. It is hosted by beatniks in black and white and features mostly old black and white oddities, many being 50′s sci-fi schlock. It’s very much in the vein of this edit, just without chopping up the movies like they used to. Fun stuff!

Great edit.
Love the commercials! Hungry Hungry Hippos baby!
This ranks up there with TMBTM’s grindhouse Jaws and Star Wars edits.

Grab all 3 and have a grindhouse movie night!

9/10

But I’m still sad that I missed that comic book convention that was advertised. ;)
