Writers/directors Quentin Tarantino (Kill Bill) and Robert Rodriguez (Sin City) cooked up this three-hour double feature as a way to pay homage to these films, and the end result manages to evoke the down-and-dirty vibe of the original films for an audience that may be too young to remember them. Tarantino's Death Proof is the mellower of the two, relatively speaking; it's wordier (as to be expected) and rife with pulp/comic book posturing and eminently quotable dialogue. It also features a terrific lead performance by Kurt Russell as a homicidal stunt man whose weapon of choice is a souped-up car. Tarantino's affection for his own dialogue slows down the action at times, but he does provide showy roles for a host of likable actresses, including Rosario Dawson, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Rose McGowan, Sydney Poitier, and newcomer Zoe Bell, who was Uma Thurman's stunt double in Kill Bill. Detractors may decry the rampant violence and latch onto a sexist undertone in Tarantino's feature, but for those viewers who grew up watching these types of films in either theaters or on VHS, such elements will be probably be more of a virtue than a detrimental factor. -- Paul Gaita Grindhouse Presents, Death Proof - Extended and Unrated (Two-Disc Special Edition) Customer Reviews   1     2     3   ♥♥♥♥♥ Not What I Expected Kurt Russell in a car chase movie directed by Tarantino. I was really looking forward to this one. But it turns out that Death Proof is about 85% talk and 15% car chase. The talk isn't even all that good. Most of it lacks the enjoyable Tarantino beat from his other movies. Remember Travolta and Jackson conversing about the "royale with cheese"? None of that here. The Death Proof dialogue seems forced at times ... and just boring. It's not until Kurt Russell appears (an agonizing 22 minutes into the movie) that things finally kick into gear--so to speak. His dialogue is great. The "You're going in my book" monologue is quite good--and he delivers it in the same John Wayne voice he used in Big Trouble In Little China. But enjoyable moments like that are few and far between. The movie, for the most part, is unpleasant to watch. Most of "The Girls" are unlikable. You don't care what happens to them. The exceptions would be Zoe Bell (playing herself), Vanessa Ferlito and Mary Elizabeth Winestead (who we don't see enough of in her bright yellow cheerleader outfit). The rest of The Girls seem incapable of speaking without using the f-word. F you. F that. F him. F that mf'er. It just goes on and on ... and on. It's tiresome. The real stars of this movie are the cars. And it's a shame that Tarantino didn't give them a more promient role. It's also a shame that we never learn more about who Stuntman Mike is and why he does what he does. Yeah, yeah, I know it's supposed to be a B-movie. We're not supposed to get too deep with the characters. But there are many sides to Stuntman Mike--the cool, the psychotic and the hysterically funny. Wish we could've known him a little better. I give two stars for the movie and five stars for the nice special features on Disc 2. Overall, three stars.   1     2     3   Non User
