This was released with Planet Terror and a bunch of fake trailers as a double feature called Grindhouse. Grindhouse is not a whole movie itself that needs a separate profile.

The ultimate "hell-on-wheels" spectacular! "Death Proof" packs on the action, suspense, & humor we've come to expect in a Tarentino movie. It's badass on the Nth degree.
Okay, first of all, I was pissed that we didn't get the double feature together with Planet Terror here in Germany. But hey, it's a Tarantino, it had to be watched anyway. And surprise, the longer version of the movie works very well on its own. Tarantino wrote his best dialogues...( read more)
Kurt Russell makes Death Proof. All the girls are gorgeous, and they do wonders with Tarantino's dialogue, but Kurt is still the star of the show. He goes from charming to murderous to a huge pansy throughout the course of the movie, and he's excellent at each and every one of th...( read more)
My strange distaste for Quentin Tarantino is well-documented. It's strange, though, because there are not many of his films I actively dislike, and I tend to like him in interviews (and even in acting roles). Certainly his fans are often a big part of my distaste, many of them th...( read more)
I just want to start this review by saying I sometimes really hate Tarantino. He thieves others ideas and claims them to be his own. His ego is as big as his forehead and if he went fishing he would probably cast himself. I really hate his cameos in his own films, he can't act to...( read more)
Honestly, I really enjoy Tarantino movies. This, however, I did not. Ever since Tarantino talked about doing a grindhouse film, when Kill Bill came out, I was pretty stoked. Then this flick came out. I almost couldn't get through it. The only reason I continued is because I thoug...( read more)
I am a fan of Quentin Tarantino, yet I wasn't particularly interested in seeing this movie. I ended up watching it on tv, when I couldn't sleep and ended up loving it!
Kurt Russell was perfectly cast. He can be such a cheeseball but it really worked here. I liked the entire fema...( read more)
It was alright, but the long conversations are a bit boring and annoying. I can see what he was trying to do with this but didn't quite pull it off. Could have been better.
No recent reviews.
It's not junk, it's a masterpiece. No Tarantino fan would call it junk. I loved it and can watch it repeatedly. The dialouge is sharp, witty and the chase scene breathtaking. The only thing I dont like is Zoe Bell, annoying as hell.

Nice to see a challenger kick ass. Love the car chase till the end. And rosario's betty hairstyle was hot!! And don't get me started on the music!!
n awesome homage to '70's car chase films and so much more. An exploitation flick about an insane serial killer, Stuntman Mike, who kills women with his souped-up Dodge, stunt car. I absolutely loved this film. Intriguing characters, and awesome Tarantino diaologue are two of the many things that set this film apart from other violent action flicks. Wonderful touches such as grainy images and jump cutting make the viewer feel like they're actually watching a film at the drive-in circa 1970. The climactic car chase at the end is not to be missed!
Ok - The grindhouse concept is cool, and it worked out ok for Planet Terror which I thought was entertaining. I ddin't think the same of this one. What is the use of making a film look old when it plays in modern times? The "old" theme was used throughout the film by means of old neon-lit bars with jukeboxes and old cars, but if you also see modern cars and cellphones, it kind of kills the effect. I am a great fan of dialogue in a film, but it must be meaningful. The dialogue was long, boring an tireing. The ending car-chase was long and the end of the movie was just absurdly abrupt. Tarantino may have produced oscar-winning titles, this stuff is, in my eyes, absolute junk.
It takes at least 35-40 mins for someone to die in this film.I did like the concept for Death Proof & Kurt Russell performance but the film needed more action not unnecessary dialog that takes forever & becomes boring.
