Death Proof

I have seen crap movies, but this one is climbing up the list. Only god knows why quentin made such a movie, is like a cross-breed of gore, slapstick, 70s-80s, mindless, c-grade stuff. It was suppose to be shown as a double-bill in the U.S. as GrindHouse - Death Proof and Planet Terror.


Kurt Russell as StuntMan Mike who terrorize women with his so called "Death Proof" car. The action and gore last only about 20 mins in the 110 mins movie. The rest are plain TCSS dialogue among the girls before they got killed or terrorize by Mike.


It gets draggy, no logic, pointless as it goes on. You prayed that Mike will just come out and ramped on these girls to pieces and death !!! The best scene was at night, when Mike after killing Pam, by "Bonging" her to death in his passenger seat, which somehow was boxed up. He then caught up with Jungle Julia and gang, droved in front of them .... Off his headlights, and against their direction, came in at high speed. The girls, high, on drugs, loud music, *Jungle Julia just have to put her legs out of the window, an earlier scene shown her lying down in the back seats with both her legs out of the window*.


Then it came, it crashed .... the scene was repeated 3 times in slow motion, each showing how each individual was killed. Of course, Julia's leg was teared off and flew onto the roadside.


Mike got off with minor injuries, somehow .....


Then so called "14 months later" .... another scene, another group of girls, another dreadful dialogue of TCSS till Zoe say she wanted to try out a 1970 Dodge. So along came out stuntman Mike ...


But this time round, he wasn't that lucky, somehow overpowered by this group of girls. The predator became the prey, he ended up being punched and kicked to death by the girls. 5/10
