Grindhouse 2?
Exciting news movie enthusiasts! It appears that the Grindhouse may become a series of films! A little birdy from Slashfilm gives us the news:
Rodriguez and Tarantino want to keep the “Grindhouse” series going. For his part, Tarantino wants to shoot an old-school Kung Fu movie in Mandarin with subtitles in some countries, and release a shorter, dubbed cut in others. If the movie plays to theaters packed with screaming patrons, the Weinsteins may be willing to indulge him.
This is fitting, this is exciting, this is the best thing to happen to the theater going experience since THX sound! I loved the Pai Mei character in Kill Bill and think that Tarantino would be great to do a 70’s style kung-fu extravaganza. In fact, I hope he does the film with the Pai Mei character - I left Kill Bill 2 hungering more Pai Mei and It would tickle my vilolence loving bones if we saw him again.
I an a fan of both Tarantino and Rodriguez, and think that having them work together may cause a friendly competition of who can get even more over the top that the other. Nothing does over the top better than kung ku - I am now more excited to see the second installment of Grindhouse than the first.
International friends; I hope this series goes to 11.

I can’t see the first Grindhouse being bd in any way and by the looks of it a Grindhouse 2 of sorts I would welcome with open movie going arms. I LOVE Tarantino as a director and Rodriguez is a firm favourite too. If Tarantino does carry on the Pai-Mei character I will be over-joyed, there is so much he could do with the character, show you how he became the hard ass kung fu master he was in “Vol 2″.
I am eagerly awaiting Grindhouse, so I would like to see that before I get myself TOO excited about a second one.

Tarintino and Rodriguez are unstoppable. Both very talented at making films and truly fans of cinema. These guys make me want to actually go to the theatre. Here is to hoping Grindhouse is ass kicking and warrants a Grindhouse 2.

The only thing better than ultimate gun violence and sex in a movie is ultimate Kung Fu.
Bring it on!

Incredible idea. Tarantino’s take on a movie thats all Kung Fu threw and threw will be insane. He’s proven to be a master of action films in almost every aspect. And for him to bring back Kung Fu films full blast will make allot of people happy. The hype and love for Kung Fu only gets bigger and bigger every year.
And turning Grind House into a series is also pretty sweet. I hope both directors keep it up and maybe even throw in some other visionary directors from time to time aswell.
I loved the Pai Mei character and if Tarantino’s movie was all about him, I’d say that would be the way to go. But even if not and it’s a diffrent movie with Tarantino’s style all over it, it’ll still be a sweet dream come true.
HELL YA, BRING IT ON! :P

I scored a pass to see this on Tuesday. I hope it doesn’t suck, seeing as it’s three hours long.

Quentin Tarantino has been to the Philippines for the first time and while recieving the award in the film festival he’s been planning to shoot a movie somewhere overseas. Grindhouse 2 may shoot some scenes here in the Philippines to feature about floods and pedicabs. I hope that he can make either Filipino or Japanese Grindhouse flicks.
