DEATH PROOF (BR/WS/ENG-SP-SUB/SELL-THROUGH ONLY) DEATH PROOF (BR/WS/ENG-SP-SUB/S

This movie is just a wild movie that is fun to look at like many of his other movies. The disk was of good quality and the picture was with such clarity. The movie itself was wild and crazy but that’s a typical early works of Quentin Tarantino.

Quality of the movie is good.

This highly underrated Quentin Tarantino film is so unique the storyline is awesome. If you want to see some really intense cinematography you will be pleasantly surprised and horrified! Not for those with a week stomach.

The best thing about this movie is the debut of Zoe Bell as an actress. She's already a well-established stunt woman (she did all of Uma Thurman's stunts in the Kill Bill movies, for example) but here she essentially plays herself so the phrase 'doing her own stunts' takes on added meaning. And we're not talking about falling off a four-story building, we're talking about hair-raising, throat-constricting, white-knuckle car chases and smash-ups and....No, wait. The best thing about this movie is that all of the stunts are 'real'...no CGI, no animation, no robots, nothing but great stunt people who made this movie the way movies used to be made...for real and for certain. No, wait. The best thing about this movie is the creation of yet another unforgettable character by Kurt Russell. He started making his mark as far back as 1965's Guns of Diablo in which he plays a young boy, Jamie McPeeters, on a wagon train wrangled by Charles Bronson, and of course he went on from there to give us a string of heroic figures (all of which adorn my DVD shelves) from Jeff Taylor to Snake Pliskin to Jack Burton. But now comes Stuntman Mike to break the mold, raise the bar, go over the top. This psychotic serial killer will go into my book for sure (inside joke). No, wait. The best part of this movie is the resurrection of a 1970 white Dodge Challenger 440. Just like the one Barry Neuman and Cleavon Little made famous in 1971's Vanishing Point. The Tarantino/Rodriguez/et al crew don't do nearly as much harm to this Dodge as Newman did to his but oh mama! will you not bother to count body dings along the way. Come to think of it the best part of this movie is that it IS a Tarantino/Rodriguez/et al movie, done with all the usual care of a 'family' production. I'm not suggesting that Quentin and Co never miss....I'm still trying to figure out what the heck Inglorious Basterds is all about...but Deathproof ranks right up there with their best. I'd tell you to buckle up but chances are you'll find that hard to do that while you're sitting on the edge of your seat, which is exactly where you'll be for most of this movie, that is when you're not daydreaming about all the dreamy eye-candy or grinning at Michael Parks and Son doing the Greek Chorus number that bridges the two parts of the movie, or feeling great sympathy (and empathy?) with the guys who mostly fall flat on their faces as they try to...well, you know, score. I score this movie 10.

Huge Tarantino fan. but for some reason I missed this movie. It is a gem, an absolutely must watch. The character development and dialog is amazing. the scenery, the sexiness, the danger, Kurt Russel. Watching a killer be killed, can become overdramatic, trite, revenge is an overdone topic but is that what this movie is really about? It's about a Serial Killer, it's about women, it's about stereotypes that are flipped on their end when roles become reversed. It's about middle age and youth. Absolutely lovely dance scene, incredible music, incredible sets, and stunts galore. I knew from the moment it started I was hooked. The cinematography is amazing. Oh ladies that was fun and then the gunshot. Death Proof keeps you guessing in the beginning you aren't quite sure Kurt is so bad until he chooses direction. You're thinking the next scenes will occur at the lake house once he does. Kurt's acting is incredible, I would have liked to know why he hates women so much but I think the Sheriff answers that. Anyway go watch, half of the one star reviews are about cost or amazon purchasing issues, the others are mostly illiterate reviews with one word which I can guess you know. There were a few valid reviews from folks that don't like Tarantino dialog but claim they like Pulp Fiction. Thanks for that movie Quentin. loved it!

NO SPOILERS. WHEN QUENTIN TARANTINO DECIDES TO MAKE AN ACTION MOVIE WITH PLENTY OF VIOLENCE, WATCH OUT. AS A REMINDERTHIS CONTAINS EXTREME VIOLENCE AND PROFANITY THROUGHOUT. HAVING SAID THAT, THERE IS A SECOND FILM THAT IS USUALLYATTACHED TO THIS. IT IS CALLED DEATH PLANET. TRY TO CATCH IT IN THE FUTURE. AS BOTH FILMS ARE TWO HOURS, PRIME IN ITS WISDOMPERHAPS DECIDED TO SHOW THEM SEPARATELY. IN OUR FILM, WHICH STARS THE GREAT LEGEND, I.E. KURT RUSSELL, HE PLAYS A RATHERSOCIOPATHIC OR EVEN PSYCHOTIC RACE CAR DRIVER WHO ENJOYS ATTACKING WOMEN. WHEN AT FIRST HE IS ASKED FOR A RIDE BYA YOUNG LADY, HE AGREES TO HER REQUEST, BUT PLACES HER IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WITH NO REAL PROTECTION. YOU WILL SEE THEMANIC RESULT OF THIS. A LAWMAN, MICHAEL PARKS, REALIZES THIS WAS VEHICULAR HOMICIDE, AND COMMENTS IT WILL NEVER HAPPENAGAIN IN TEXAS. SWITCH TO A YEAR LATER IN TENNESSEE, WHERE OUR VILLAIN DECIDES TO PURSUE THREE ATTRACTIVE FEMALES AGAIN.WHAT HE DOES NOT KNOW IS HE HAS SELECTED THREE PROFESSIONAL STUNT WOMEN, AND HE IS IN FOR SOME AMAZING TROUBLE.THIS IS A CULT FILM THAT TARANTINO HAS CREATED. ENJOY AND FASTEN YOUR SEAT BELTS.

Death Proof is basically two hours of blabbering crap with some impressive car stunts and bare-footed women in hot pants dancing for Quentin's camera as he lives out yet another adolescent fantasy.Quentin had clearly started to believe his own press a little bit too much by the time he came to make this film as Death Proof is nothing more than a formless and self-indulgent mess.In the extra features interviews he arrogantly refers to his 'talent' and what he wanted to do with his 'talent!' when it came to making Death Proof. Well he was clearly delusional at this point in his life after snorting too much cocaine at the time.It is best we all just forget this film ever existed as Quentin has definitely redeemed himself since with some of his more recent films.

The movie starts as Tarantino’s movies generally start - weird situation/setting with lots of yapping. The yap revolves around hyperbolic debate over minutiae.Only when Kurt Russell (who gives a good performance) comes into the picture; one-third the way through, does the action pick-up/progress. He plays some mythical movie stunt man who just happens to be around in a surreal way.Then in the movie, suddenly, there occurs a considerable amount of pointless violence. Why the violence? It was unknown to me.The action concludes with the local sheriff making the statement that the violence will have moved state from Texas to where-ever, leaving me to think that the Russell character is that of a serial offender, but the theory is left vague once more.The movie’s story then steps into a completely different movie which has a similar format, only the tables get turned on the character played by Kurt Russell.The movie then ends.I grew-up in an age of women establishing equal rights, wishing to be men and it made me sick. Until then I loved women normally, observing the wonder of femininity. However, in this movie, I find the violence towards women intolerable. As a man I feel responsibility in that although many women wish to do men’s jobs in many instances, nonetheless, simple manners and courtesy can still be tendered as a respectful gender definition by both parties. If this movie reflects the new-age world we currently live within, then mankind has lost the art of living.

One of Tarantino's lesser known movies and not one of his best but I particulary like it. The first half I find a little tedious, just girls talking, first in a car then in a bar, and the talking goes on for too long and goes no where. Then they leave the bar and the movie starts and gets interesting, then crash bang it's all very bloody and over. But the movies only half done. It jumps forwards to a new location.Three new girls in a car.Repeat of what went before??One spots, in a local news paper, a V8 muscle car for sale, they must have it and got to buy it.Test driving the muscle car they cross paths with Kurt Russell (the killer driver that brought the first half of the movie to an abrupt violent end) but things don't work out quite the same for the killer this time and the rest of the movie is just one long violent car chase.All very stupid and Tarentino but once past the tedious first half it becomes quite good fun.

This film follows a group of women who play main characters in it and they just basically sit around different places talking about stuff. Other supporting actors come into the film later on and try to make it more interesting ,but it fails. It's like a female version of reservoir dogs without the bank robbing aspect to it.

One of those films with no real storyline but will probably be a cult classic. Plenty of violence with a twist that can be seen coming well before the movie gets anywhere near ending. Seen it, ticked it off the to watch list, and probably will never watch again.
