Re: Grindhouse (Tarantino & Rodriguez)

I saw a trailer for this a couple days and I was wondering what the hell it was.

Re: Grindhouse (Tarantino & Rodriguez)

What is the difference between R and NC17. Don't both require you to be 17 to watch?

Or is it that R requires an adult to be accompanied while NC17 requires you are 17 no matter who is with you?

NC17 is that you must be 17 to enter the theatre while an R rating means that you must be 17 years of age to enter or if you're a minor you must be accompanied with an adult.

Unless they changed it to NC18, I'm positive its 17.

NC-17 is box office death and you risk alienating the prudish community so common business sense says:

"Make Tarantino cut it up to satisfy the MPAA. Then, release the the unrated cut on DVD to give people on the fence a reason to buy it. Then, release the true unrated cut a year after that."

It sucks, but that's probably why it still hasn't been rated. If they were happy with an NC-17, they would have just accepted the rating.

I think the only way it gets an NC-17 is if it actually got an X rating when it was submitted and the studio decided to recut the movie to get lowered to an NC-17...

Re: Grindhouse (Tarantino & Rodriguez)

I thought NC-17 replaced the X rating?

So far.

Re: Grindhouse (Tarantino & Rodriguez)

This is from wikipedia regarding the rating:

According to The New York Post, the film may require heavy and extensive cuts in order to avoid an NC-17 rating.<sup id="_ref-Rating_0" class="reference">[7]</sup> The majority of the content that makes the rating questionable comes from the fake trailers in-between the two movies. In Rob Zombie's fake movie trailer for "Werewolf Woman of the SS", every woman in the Nazi concentration camp is topless. In Eli Roth's trailer for "Thanksgiving", there is apparently a scene showing "a grossly obese man chewing on a baby."

NC-17 replaced the X rating back in the 90's.

This movie isn't meant for kids, so NC-17 is irrelevant. It's intended to be exactly what it is now, a movie with a ****ty plot, lots of sex, and violence exploitation. Funny how they choose to treat adults like children.

I think it will be a horrible move to cut it down to R, since they are hyping a whole theme and gimmick with this movie, and the people that come will know this. It'll actually have been a total waste and utter failure to release this as a neutered R rated film.

As for waiting for the uncut DVD, we still haven't got the proper kill bill DVD, even though they've had uncut japanese versions for years. We'll probably have to wait years for the special directors cut Grindhouse. Gotta love hollywood.

It's irrelevant to you and me, but not the studios.

It's three weeks before release and it's still not rated. That means it got a rating the studio didn't like so they sent a memo to Tarantino to see what he can cut.

There will be a tug-of-war between Tarantino and the studio until someone gives. It's usually the director who loses. We'll see how much clout Tarantino has.

Also, NC-17 means no one 17 or under admitted...so you have to be 18.

It seems like a waste of time and effort to make and hype the movie as a nostalgic exploitation film, when they cut it up to market it to 15 year olds.
