Grindhouse presents
DEATH PROOF

Quentin Tarantino

This movie is not really considered “Horror” but because it was attached as a double feature with Planet Terror I had to view it along with it and my biggest turn on was that it was by “Quentin Tarantino”.

A classic “Grindhouse triple feature. This movie can be logged and tag under Psycho Stalker section. I can say it offers beautiful women, exciting, jaw dropping, and adrenaline rushing car chases and crashes, sexy lap dance scene, comedy and a reasonable amount of blood and gore, explicit language as a classic Quentin Tarantino movie would offer. The film is a classic exploitation film of the genre of the 1970s, not sure what was wrong with people, it did not do good in at the box office, but made up for it on DVD,.I personally loved the movie at the theater and as soon as it came out on DVD I purchased it for whatever price. I loved this movie.

Social-pathic stunt man/ serial killer “Stuntman Mike”(Kirk Russell), stalks young women before murdering them in staged care crashes in his “Death Proof Car”.

1# Three friends: Arlene(Vanessa Ferlilo), Shanna(Jordon Ladd)-daughter of Cherly Ladd of the original Charlie’s Angels, which she is the spiting image of her mom. Local Radio DJ Jungle Julia” (Sydney .T. Poitier)-daughter of the well know actor Sydney Poitier.

The ladies out for a birthday celebration for JJ doing a little bar crawling and a visit to the lake house later. The girls unaware they are being stalked by non other than Stunt Man Mike(Kirk Russell). Unknowing earlier JJ made an announcement that Arlene will give the gentleman a lap dance if you address her as butterfly and by her a drink and receit a poem. Stunt man Mike follows the instructions on the radio to get the lap dance.

Arlene remembers she saw stuntman Mike earlier while they were visiting the local convenience store.

We can’t forget Pam(Rose McGown) as a high school friend, who excepts a ride home from stuntman mike and becomes his first victim.

Remember the Stuntman Mikes car is “Death Proof”.

As the group of women embark on a journey along the dark highway while listen to music and banging their heads, stuntman Mike comes upon them and speeds pass to get ahead and turns around facing them, lights off, revving the engine and speeds toward them head on, and just as he comes closer turns lights on and crashes into them. The multiple camera views of each girls untimely death  is fascinating filming.

Stuntman Mike survives?  Continues is killing spree.

#2. Jumping a year later, SMM finds four more potential victims.

Four woman Lee Montgomery (Mary Winstead) Abernathy Ross(Rosario Dawson), Kim(Tracie Thomas) and real stuntwoman (Zoe Bell who plays herself

Traveling to Tennessee, stopping at convenience store not noticing Stuntman Mike and his new ride a 1969 Dodge Charger, who is intrigued by the woman.

Long story short Stuntman Mike meets his match with these women. Exciting adrenaline rush, heart bounding high speed chase and a ending that every bad ass Bitch would love.   

“You’ll love it”
