About this deal

What made "Death Proof" a memorable movie was the cast ensemble, because there were some really good talents on the cast list here. With the likes of Kurt Russell, Zoë Bell, Rosario Dawson and Rose McGowan. And it was nice to see some of the actors from "Planet Terror" show up as well as the same characters, making the two movies take place in the same location and same fictive universe. That was a nice touch. Jango is about making online music social, fun and simple. Free personal radio that learns from your taste and connects you to others who like what you like. If, like me, you didn't like Death Proof then about an hour into the film you'll start rubbing the bridge of your nose or maybe twitching your right index finger over your left eyebrow and squinting down at the floor, repeating in your head (or aloud) every five minutes of so: 'I can't believe Quentin Tarantino made this, I can't believe Quentin Tarantino made this'. It is sad but equally as surprising just how low Tarantino has sunk with Death Proof, one half of an experiment (nothing more) he did with Robert Rodriguez called 'Grindhouse' which was supposed to recreate a 1970s, exploitation style experience in a Grindhouse cinema in which you'd see low-rent horror/sci-fi in all its gloriously gritty and patchy glory. I don't think Tarantino was making a real movie as much he was making what he thought a film like this should be. Clearly he doesn't know films as well as he thinks he does. (I mean that literally as well as figuratively since there are times in the Grindhouse version when the film gets splicey and dialog repeats exactly the way a film wouldn't if you chopped out frames. and then repaired it.) If it was anyone other than Tarantino the film would have been hidden away or burned. Worse, if the film had been made in the 1970's when the films he mentions were made this film would have ended up lost, probably never going to home video-or if not lost then boxed in those 50 movie DVD sets that contain a great deal of crap because no one would ever put the films out except as filler. The problem is, however, is that when the film isn't cool, it's totally uncool. In between the big standout scenes, the film drags a lot. A lot of time is spent on the characters hanging out at bars and restaurants, chatting inanely, and often times without progressing the plot all that much. These scenes still have a few standout scenes (such as the saucy lapdance scene), but a lot of it comes off as pointless.

Stuntman Mike wants to kill people. For reasons unknown. The kill sequences are pretty cool and is the best scene in the entire movie for more reasons than one. The women here are so boring that I found myself quenched with blood lust and was rooting for Stuntman Mike. Stuntman Mike is easily one of the most cool villains ever, or in this case, a hero. Jun 30, 2010 ·All too few people seem to realise that birds have hands*; it’s just that these parts of the body are – normally – mostly obscured from view by the … Technically the film is good apart from those deliberate sound glitches, jump edits & print damage which sometimes makes it look like either your DVD player is broken or the disc is scratched! It's well made & has that big budget look about it anyway although the use of loud annoying songs irritated me. The acting is alright although most of the girls really annoyed me, they all seem to have these horrible attitudes that just rubbed me up the wrong way.Death Proof was released in the US and Canada alongside Planet Terror as part of a double feature under the title Grindhouse. Both films were released separately in extended versions internationally, approximately two months apart. [12] The additional material includes scenes that were replaced in the American theatrical release version with a "missing reel" title card, such as the lap dance scene. A total of 27 minutes were added for this version. One of the first screenings of Death Proof was made at the Edinburgh International Film Festival on August 20, 2007, with star Zoë Bell attending the screenings. [13] Stuntman Mike gives Pam (Rose McGowan) a ride, but soon reveals his sinister nature, murdering her inside his car by smashing her head against the windshield. He then hunts down the other women and kills them too, but since it looks like the girls were driving drunk, he gets away. Texas Rangers Earl and Edgar McGraw (Michael and James Parks) tell him to get the hell out of Texas. That being said, it is curiously slow for an exploitation film. Tarantino is known for his lengthy, bizarre dialogue scenes, and nowhere is that more apparent than here. Granted, they are very good dialogues and these are all interesting characters, played by talented actors, but they're still as long as hunger years. Tone it down a bit, Quentin. We don't necessarily have to know the whole life story of every single character on the screen. Just saying. One year later and Mike is hunting a whole new set of girls n Tennessee - Abernathy Ross, Kim Mathis, Lee Montgomery and Zoe Bell (Rosario Dawson, Tracie Thoms, Mary Elizabeth Winstead and, yes, Zoe Bell). This time, it doesn't go so well for Mike, who gets obliterated by the women. It all started as an homage to old exploitation cinema and double feature screenings. It was meant to be one of the most shamelessly entertaining films of the year. Sadly, after flopping in the US, Grindhouse has been chopped in two, with Quentin Tarantino's segment, Death Proof, being the first to be released on its own after competing at the Cannes Film Festival. It is not presented in its Grindhouse version, which included scratches, dirt, missing reels and other visual aging techniques; instead, we get the full cut, containing additional information regarding certain plot points and a few "juicy" bits that were left out first time around (a hot lap dance being the best new scene). And while it certainly would be fun to see the entire double-bill in all its glory (hopefully it will get a worldwide DVD release), I must say I really enjoyed QT's half as a separate picture.

That jukebox list is more interesting to me than this film. I've tried several times to enjoy it and get into it - the grindhouse nature of it being so talky isn't lost on me. It just never really goes anywhere, no matter how many times I watch it. This movie was a total disgrace to the genre and shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath as movies that showed in the old Grindhouses. For those that are unaware, a Grindhouse was an establishment that showed exploitation films starting in the late 50's, in the area where I grew up it was mainly drive-ins.
