The Weinstein Company is releasing the picture April 6th through its Dimension Films distributorship, needs a golden ticket R rating to get into wide release theaters. But, "some of it is so graphic and outrageous for a major Hollywood studio, there's no question it's headed for an NC-17 without big cuts," says a Page Six insider, who got to see an early screening of the film.
"Grindhouse" is two movies combines, one by Tarantino, the other by Rodriguez - with an intermission between them, reports Page Six.
During the break, phoney trailers will be shown with campy titles like "Werewolf Women of the SS," directed by Rob Zombie.
"In one scene, a cute, topless girl is roughly tied down on a table by evil female Nazi experimenters who begin draining her blood and, as she screams in agony, they brand her like livestock with a coal-hot steel swastika," Page Six sources said. "And every girl in the Nazi concentration camp is topless."
Another trailer is directed by horror director Eli Roth is called "Thanksgiving," in which the national holiday celebration in a small town is interrupted by a slasher.
"There's a part where Jordan Ladd [daughter of Cheryl Ladd of 'Charlie's Angels'] is in a car with her boyfriend and giving him [oral sex] when she lovingly reaches to stroke his hair and discovers his neck is just a bloody stump - some maniac had just cut off his head while she was in the act."
Scenes involving a trampoline, a cheerleader and no panties and obese men chewing on babies are some other delights to witness, along with Rose McGowan and her machine gun stump of a leg.
Page Six reports: "Some cuts definitely will have to be made. There's no question," said their studio insider.
