About this deal

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. In 2007, Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez joined forces to create the Grindhouse film experience: a double feature intended to emulate the thrilling grittiness and distinctive roughness of 1970s exploitation cinema. I remember my father showing me a scene from Death Proof years ago. And since the film is made to look like an old movie, I kind of assumed it was at least from the 80's. Later I saw screenshots and started realising that there's no way it's as old as I thought it was. But I love the fact that it looks like that. The slightly grainy shots, how the movie looks like the whole cinematography was done not entirely seriously? All of those make it look like some 80's B-movie, which is definitely a good look for a film. Grindhouse Dismantled". April 30, 2007. Archived from the original on September 27, 2007 . Retrieved May 10, 2007. Death Proof came out in 2007 and I remember watching this movie with my friend and having a really good time. I watched the movie another time a few years later and really enjoyed it to for other reasons, especially the classic car chase sequence.

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. 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. 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 … While stylistically the movie might want to try and resemble low budgeted 70s exploitation movie, Death Proof juxtaposes certain current day elements into itself, making it somewhat messy with gizmos like cell phones and portable music players. What put a smile on my face though (besides the beautiful ladies of course), is Kurt Russell's two-faced Stuntman Mike performance. He can be nonchalant one minute, oozing indifference, and in the next, he can be so silently deranged you'd rather choose to leap from the vehicle, if you had a means to that is. Or he can be the classic road rage driver, before realizing he has bitten off more than he could chew. It's been some time having Russell on the big screen, and I thought he did fine, despite not being QT's first choice for the role. The hot summer brings out all the stunning girls in their hot shorts, tight tops and sassy attitudes. Two such groups of girls are enjoying a carefree world of dance, music, boys and drink when they find themselves stalked by the charming but yet sinister "Stuntman Mike" – a killer hunting down young women and killing them with his "death proof" car.R.I.P. Sally Menke, I really love her work on this movie...not only for the great grindhouse "jump cuts" but also for one of my favorite scene halfway through the movie that I won't mention and the awesome 11-min well edited car chase. Now it's 2015, I've just watched Death Proof for a third time and it's still a blast to watch. The music is perfect, the movie is very funny, and I love the performance from Kurt Russell, Sydney Poitier (Jungle Julia) and all the other supporting characters. Its turbo version is a hoot to drive, but let’s face it — the thing looks like an angry Pokemon. A new NISMO sport version … (in unfortunate-quality plastics) and a ball-type shift knob. Buyers loved its spacious and versatile interior, and the … With this in mind, it seems hard to understand what people are complaining about. Do audiences actual expect this film to keep them enthralled and entertained when the vast majority of them would balk at experiencing many of the low-budget, semi-obscure films that influenced it? Hardly! The accusation here that "nothing happens" is fascicle. The fact that there is film running through the camera is proof enough that something is happening, with the hilariously bland dialog deconstructing the film in much the same way as the purposely amateurish composition, editing and sound all intended to fracture the cinematic language in the same way that Godard did; by reminding the audience that this is the film and the point of the film is to experience the sights and sounds that unfold before us. Added to this the colourful iconography, the music, the characters, the girls in tight t-shirts, the for once entirely justified performance from the man himself, all reminding us that this is a joyous, darkly comic romp in which the point is not "why?" but "why not?".

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.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. Cut to 14 months later, we encounter yet another group of beautiful but unlikable and unsympathetic women (including but not limited to Rosario Dawson, Mary Elizabeth Winstead and real life stunt woman Zoe Bell "playing" herself - she doubled for Lucy Lawless on TV's Xena Warrior Princess and Uma Thurman in the Kill Bill films) who happen to be working on a movie in the south. Guess what? They also spend most of their time droning on and on with the most uninspired and un-engaging dialogue this side of the coast, and they're just as annoying, obnoxious and unlikable as the first group of women - if not more so (they actually leave Winstead stranded with a Southern lunatic). Well, while out for their aimless drive, with Zoe performing a stunt on the roof of the car, they cross paths with Stuntman Mike, who decides to go after them for no better reason than the fact that they happen to be there and are making asses of themselves on the road. In the midst of this, Mike gets shot and his tough guy persona falls apart and he is reduced to a cowering weakling; the women then turn the tables and chase after him, taunting him with possibly even more venom than he tossed at them, and the film ends with the women basically beating Mike to death in the middle of the road.

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. Review: You may have read my comment for the Grindhouse double feature, but this is my official take on the second part. Writer and director Quentin Tarantino wrote and director a fair enough movie here. It wasn't really among his best of movies, but it was watchable enough for the cheese that it was. Now, I am not saying that "Death Proof" is a bad movie, not at all. It is a watchable movie, however, it just wasn't all that outstanding.

The Dutch poster artwork for Death Proof claimed that the film would feature "coming attractions" from Robert Rodriguez. [14] In the United Kingdom, Death Proof was released on September 21, 2007, and in Australia on November 1, 2007. [15] Explaining the split in foreign releases, Tarantino stated, "Especially if they were dealing with non-English language countries, they don't really have this tradition … not only do they not really know what a grindhouse is, they don't even have the double feature tradition. So you are kind of trying to teach us something else." [16] Critical reception [ edit ] After the relative success of his homage to kung fu with his Kill Bill movies, Quentin Tarantino turned his sights to the 70s exploitation movies with Grindhouse: Death Proof. However, for us outside the US, we do not get the Grindhouse double bill with Robert Rodriguez's Planet Terror and a host of easter egg styled trailers, but rather we get the longer cut of both movies. Many have said that Planet Terror proved to be superior to Death Proof, but without watching the other, I thought Tarantino's offering was pretty decent stuff.

[ permanent dead link] Given the vast majority of major criticisms levelled at this film, it would appear that a large percentage of the audience has completely missed the joke, or simply, didn't find it at all amusing. With Death Proof (2007), Tarantino creates such a loving homage to a notoriously cult cinematic sub-culture that many people seem unaware of how to approach it or even how to appreciate the sheer fact that the film purposely goes out of its way to ape the style of late 60's and early 70's exploitation cinema in look, feel and content. The film isn't meant to be taken entirely seriously, but rather, is a parody and/or pastiche of the kind of films that the vast majority of mainstream audiences simply wouldn't want to see. I'm talking about films such as Two-Thousand Maniacs (1964), Ride the Whirlwind (1965), Manos: The Hands of Fate (1966), Satan's Sadists (1968), The Big Bird Cage (1971), Boxcar Bertha (1972), Fight for Your Life (1977) or Satan's Cheerleaders (1977); low-budget films made with often-non-professional actors, little in the way of conventional film logic, and highly controversial in terms of plot, theme and content. Some of the popular and most common titles of the Grindhouse genre are Death Race 2000, Blacula, Piranha, Boxcar Bertha, Cannibal Hookers, Shogun Assassin, Blood feast, Last House on the Left, Born Loser, Cannibal Holocaust, Dawn of the Dead, to name a very few.
