The New release from Grindhouse


I'm very excited about this but still unsure about the version we might get. It could be anything from:

A: The CUT American and British version, which tones down all the murders. The version that is shown on TV. Hopefully not this one!

B: The UNCUT American and British version. Includes slightly more of the murder footage. This might be considered as the "true" version.

C: The "French" version. This is the one where the prostitute murder was re-staged using a different actress and much more gore was added.

The French version is not really uncut, as it uses totally different footage for that sequence. So it's not a case of missing footage being re-inserted, but a choice of which version to use. Sadly if we get the French version, we lose the actress playing the prostitute in the British version, because she can actually act, whereas the one in the "strong" version cannot - she's terrible! I guess she was used because she was willing to be filmed topless, and they though few English speaking countries would ever see this version!

So does anybody know which version Grindhouse are releasing?

Hopefully, the uncut UK version and the French "Laser Killer" version.

It looks like we're getting both versions! The uncut AND the French version!

I've only seen the Uncut version and the others sound intriguing specially the French one.
