The film Grindhouse gleefully resurrects the theatrical experience of watching back-to-back exploitation movies. Written and directed by two of the genre s most hard-core and best-known fans, the film consists of two short features — one from Quentin Tarantino and the other by Robert Rodriguez — as well as a series of lurid trailers for non-existent movies. In the book Grindhouse: The Sleaze-filled Saga of an Exploitation Double Feature, Tarantino and Rodriguez chronicle the film s production from page to screen and everything in between. Featured are Rodriguez s and Tarantino s original screenplays in their entirety, interviews with key cast and crew members, and over 300 photographs and illustrations, including never-before-seen artwork and concept designs. An exhaustive history of exploitation films, complete with full-color reproductions of classic one-sheets from the directors private collections, enhances the reader s appreciation of this tasteless, yet highly entertaining and influential genre.
