i knew you'd like it! i knew you'd love Jackie Brown, and knew you'd have fun with this one, despite all those who were poo-pooing both. this was originally released in a shortened version as a "double feature" with Planet Terror (also starring Rose Mcgowan), under the name Grindhouse. then they released the two movies in their longer form. that's worth doing as well. Thanks! knew you'd like it!

@RossWrock 2 года назад

In case you're confused, this and "Planet Terror" were released under the name GRINDHOUSE as a double feature, and was Tarantino's ode to the exploitation films of the 70s. That's why there's grainy film, audio and video skips/jumps, and a "cheap" feel to the films. It was all intentional. Some of the fake attractions got so much attention as well, they went on to be films in their own right (i.e. two Machete movies with Danny Trejo). Zoe Bell in case you're wondering, is a real stunt professional (did Uma Thurman's stunts for Kill Bill), and this was her first role as an actual actor. And yes, she really did ride the hood of that care bareback. Lots of hidden easter eggs in these two films. And a lot of actors/actresses are from Tarantino's other films.

He gets lost in paying homage to 70s grindhouse and forgets to make THIS movie.

In the big perspective and framework of an old school revenge movie he got what he deserved, yes. But they only knew he had endangered their lives, not that he had killed anyone, before they went on with their revenge hunt to murder him. If they knew he had killed before, I could call it justified revenge or maybe vigilante justice. But here it's "He damaged the car and we could have been hurt. Let's kill him!" But then again, that's how revenge works. It's always escalating.

@DavidGowers 2 года назад

I just love this movie so much, this and Planet Terror (which you NEED to watch ASAP because it's connected to this one). Apparently Tarantino wrote the lead role on the second half specifically FOR Zoe Bell after being stunned by her stunt work in Kill Bill. He told her he'd call in a stuntwoman to do her stunts for her but she insisted on doing them herself. And AFAIK all the stunts were actual stunts, no CGI or other camera-trickery.

This is truly one of my favorite Tarantino films. Definitely underrated and I really hope more people get to discover it and see what a gem of a film it is. From an awesome soundtrack, to the horror, to Kurt Russell’s hilarious and menacing performance, an excellent and engaging cast, an absolute insane car chase scene and Zoe Bell’s fearless stunt work that to this day is the best I’ve ever seen. And that final scene is fucking empowering.

@walterpanovs 2 года назад

Zoe Bell was the stunt double for Uma Thurman in the "Kill Bill" films, and did stunt work for Tarantino in other ones as well. This was the first film (I believe) where she actually got to play a full role (as herself, basically) along with doing those dramatic car hood stunts. That last 30 minutes was really worth the price of admission, and was a throwback to some great '70s car-chase films like "Vanishing Point."

I kinda forgot that the two movies got their own separate releases for DVD and in my mind I still had them attached to each other as two parts of one movie called Grindhouse. Had me questioning the part in their intro where they say that their trip through Tarantino's movies will be focusing on things that were 100% his and skipping over projects with partial involvement such as Four Rooms. In my mind Grindhouse fits more into that second category.

@onyx081 2 года назад

I'm probably in the minority, but I actually enjoyed the non action dialogue scenes as much as the actions scenes. I thought the conversations were fun and interesting and felt like genuine conversations these characters would have. Quentin is one of the only directors/writers who knows how to write interesting and realistic dialogue to whatever setting or story he's telling. I never once felt bored listening to the conversations between the characters. I know some people don't like the movie because they feel like it was too much talking and not enough action, but I loved it. This one of my favorite movies.

Death Proof was the second half of Grindhouse, following Robert Rodriguez's Planet Terror.

It you look at the list of the movies that have inspired him, as sometimes even he is even referencing some of them in a subtle way in his movies = then all that make sense. So is his intersts in comics, and various stories/shows from Japan and so on... And even his friendship with Robert Rodriguez. But saying the above, I don't think he claimed to be an expert at this ("making female empowerment films"). I don't think that this is his main goal at this point, as the stories are much more complex than seeing everything from that point of view only. There are few others better, older movies and characters in this case, that we can easily reference. Note: much respect here, @Maurice Lee. I don't mean to offend anybody here! Just offering some additional points/comments to the discusion. All in all, I agree with you :)

I couldn’t agree more. People don’t realize how natural he is at creating real women characters who are strong. It never feels like he’s forcing ideas on you.

@RoyKoopaling 2 года назад

Absolutely. It’s amazing what you can do when you actually just think women are people and aren’t obnoxiously trying to spread an ideology.

@tannhauser5399 2 года назад

@@RoyKoopaling - True that. Plenty of other older movies covered that quite good too: Alien, Aliens, whole Resident Evil series of movies with Milla Jovovitch, Tomb Rider (the older ones with Angelina Jolie), Erin Brockovich, Terminator 1 & 2, Michelle Yeow as You Shu Lien (in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon)... List is long. Now, in most movies - it feels a bit likey they are forcing those issues, instead of simply showing us a good story where a woman is simply a strong character - based on the story itself. Without forcing us to listen any comments about it during the movie, or any additional political correctness and so on.

Definitely an under appreciated Tarantino movie. I saw this in theaters and it's the first movie I've seen where the audience actually applauded. Great reaction guys. You need to add Planet Terror to your list. Planet Terror and Death Proof were a Grindhouse double feature in theaters.

@dosnostalgic 2 года назад

This is one of my favorite Tarantino movies. It is just so crazy and cathartic. Although I do prefer the version from Grindhouse, as it is a bit shorter and moves more briskly towards the third act.

@uosdwiSrdewoH 2 года назад

This entire movie basically exists to show off Zoe Bell. Sam Raimi had her double for Lucy Lawless in Xena: Warrior Princess then she did anything Uma Thurman couldn't do in Kill Bill and Tarantino had been working on the concept of a slasher film using a stunt driver. It was a perfect storm. So he cast Zoe in her first leading role as an actor because he wanted to show there was no CG and he could shoot from any angle and you'd see it was Zoe. She's done stunts in any movie he's done since and moved up to stunt coordinator for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. She's amazing. Obviously.

I love this movie. I don't think it's Tarrantino's lowest tier movie. For me, I'd rank it above both Kill Bill's, just because it gives me vibes of his first three films. Kurt Russell is great as always. Plus, I love how it becomes an homage to the car chase thrillers of the 70's by the third act. Great reaction.

Planet Terror is more fun and over-the-top, but I like how Death Proof feels like a legit "grindhouse" movie from that era. Planet Terror is like a modern idea of what a B movie was like, whereas with Death Proof you could almost imagine that it was actually a lost movie from the 70s.

There's also a 2004 documentary called "Double Dare", showing Zoe Bell being a stunt woman in New Zealand for the tv show "Zena" and how she's then trying herself in Hollywood after being out of action for over a year due to an injury and living together with veteran stunt woman Jeannie Epper who sort of mentors her and tries to get her into work while she herself struggles to get stunt jobs. Then they show how she meets Tarantino to audition for Kill Bill as a stunt performer and the ecstatic reaction when she gets the gig, there's also some BTS stuff from Kill Bill showing Zoe doubling for Uma Thurman.

@spikeinmadness5005 2 года назад

This is one half of Quentin Tarantino & Robert Rodriguez's GRINDHOUSE: DOUBLE FEATURE along with Planet Terror w/ Rose McGowan. They made the movies look like those 70's B-movie horror flicks, hence all the graininess and the hard cuts. Planet Terror is a fun and zany zombie flick with a little twist, lol. Worth a watch. *Of course he was a stunt man. And he got shot in the shoulder but he was a little bitch when he got hurt. lol Also Zoë is pronounced (zo-we) not Zo. and yes, she did the stunt on the hood of the car for real. Zoë Bell is a real stunt woman.

Little fact, the Circle A store scene is Tarantino's nod to director Richard Linklater's film Suburbia (1996). He even used Nicky Katt as the clerk who is also in Suburbia spends most of the time just getting drunk and hanging out in front of the store with his friends. Also, Circle A is both a play for the convenience store Circle K and the word Anarchy.

This is my favorite Tarantino film, but I think it suffers greatly from being separated from Planet Terror; that film is so fast-paced and wacky and fun and bombastic that the VERY slow burn of THIS film is a massive change in pacing and tone, that allows it to build to such a wonderful crescendo - seeing it in theaters as a double feature, most of the audience stood up and cheered at the end, I don’t think you can get that kind of catharsis without watching them back-to-back. I wrote this comment before watching the video; excited to see what you think!

The phrase Kurt Russell says to get his dance was also used in the Charles Bronson film "Telefon". In that movie , Donald Pleasence says it to activate Russian sleeper agents. I wonder if Tarantino was a fan of that movie to use the phrase?
