It's AWESOME!
This is one of my favorite "car" flicks! I bought a copy as soon as the used copies at the local video store started selling them off. The New Zealand chic was Hawt!
go ahead, ask me about a car flick....I have most all of 'em!

I thought it was utter shit. :laugh: Right up there with "The Village". I don't go to the movies much so was looking forward to "the comfy" seats (Laz-y-boys) and the V8s on surround loud sound. What a disappointment. 
Was around an hour & a half of boring dialog with chicks talking about guys, painting nails, talking about BS. Had the odd (2 or 3) burnouts from Kurt Russel in his Nova (whop-dee).
Luckily the so called "car chase" bought some kind of action into the movie, it wasn't what most would call a car chase, more like stunt woman on car for 60% of it and the rest filled with a few weaves and the cars banging into each other. If they had to destroy some classic muscle cars, Mopars no-less, they should have at least used them wisely and made a good job of the chase. My rating - 3/10. Would have been less but since it had a White 70 Challenger 440ci in it and talked about Vanishing Point it saved itself (for me), slightly.
Peopled started leaving the theatre, I would have if I didn't already know there was suppose to be a car chase in it, well, car "driving scene". Very poor and this is coming from someone with one of the "lead" cars which put shame into Challenger owners hearts. Tarantino should stick to making his style of movie, not trying to recreate the drive-thru movies of the yesteryear. Only a kook would call it a car chase movie. Save money, rent Vanishing Point or Bullitt.

Carwalski, I'll have some pics of my dad's 04 RAM 3500 in a few days. I know you will approve! Truck is black. I just blacked out the brake light and tails, just put 20" black rims with a black bead lock and 33" tall tires. Put a SRT-10 hood and grille on. And the windows are ridiculously black. I'll take some tomorrow.

let's talk about dialogue.....
Death Proof, especially if you are a Tarantino fan, is great. It's got gore, it's got great special effects, and there is a more action! (If you don't mind the first half hour of character introductions) Russel plays a psychotic stunt man who starts out in a Nova and then graduates into a Charger.
I think this movie is destined to be a classic. (not many people liked Vanishing Point when it was originally released!)
Atleast I didn't say the Blonde chic was from Australia!
RENT this movie.....it is an experience!
The original Vanishing Point was a good flick. It is a cult classic. As far as plot.....boring.....man challenges himself to make it from Denver to San Fran in record time and the viewer experiences an hour and a half of tire squeeling fun.Carlwalski said:I thought it was utter shit. :laugh: Save money, rent Vanishing Point or Bullitt.

I was wondering about this movie. I was on the fence as to buy it or not....Kurt Russell is a God Ok now I will purchase thanks for the Siskel & Ebbert on this :rock:

Is there 2 different versions? The one I saw the first time, the long legged black girl had her leg hanging out the window and Kurt hit them head on and her leg was sliced off. Then today I watched it and the white girl played "ships mast" on the hood of a Challenger.

Watch it and you'll see what "ships mast" is. Crazy ass girls!

We'll agree to disagree then.
Each to their own. Yes, Vanishing Point has no plot because it's a car chase film, nearly an hour and a half of cars, that IS the plot. RAMviperIFFIC said:
That's the reason most people think it's crap. Who wants to see 10 minutes of car chase after hearing chicks talk about who they boned for over 3/4 of the movie. (apart from other chicks).

Ah, you're just saying that because there was an Australian in it.
C'mon, if you can't enjoy it for the B-movie remake it is, well, don't watch.

Too late once you've paid mate. Like asking a Hooker to give the tadpoles back once she's swallowed.
No can do........Australian? Joe Bell is Kiwi, proud to be one too (who wouldn't be). :rock:
But I guess I can let your slip of tongue off, you are from Canada, or Mexico? right? Same difference......

I have to side with Carwalski and Powertrain. The chicks weren't even that hot. The one that is hot is left behind with CHUB ~and~ left out of the good scene (Russel shits himself crying)... I've seen mannnnny "B" flicks. I use to have B Flick Monday at my house.
This would have been a B- (being generous). :bebored: :bebored: :bebored: :bebored: :bebored:
With some.:banghead: but mostly:questionmark: :dontknow: WHY was this made????
On the other hand Planet Terror rose to the top of the "B" Flick Night, movies... (released with Death Proof) I recommend it...:rock: :rock: :rock:
If use must see it, (Death Proof) make sure you use a 2 for 1 coupon and have nothing better (or at all) to do for 1.5 hours or you'll kick yourself... :alberteinstein: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: Mikey will like it...:dontknow:
Of coarse This is just my opinion and as always the correct one!!!

Death Proof is classic, typical Tarentino work. The car chase is only incidental on this movie, the beauty of cult type work like this has nothing to do with the special effects. Its all about the dark-humored atmosphere building up to the super cool end-of-the-movie twist, and the classic lines are priceless.
You can't build expectations based on a serious production like "Bullit" and apply them to a "B" cult movie like Deathproof, its two completely different animals.
Like Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill, if you're looking to be blown away by excellence in special effects, its not the movie for you. Just because you don't understand something doesn't always mean it's shit, sometimes it means you're not getting it.

Hey, I liked Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill 1 ~and~ 2... :rock:
This wasn't close.:toilet: SUPER CHEESY!:bebored: :bebored: :bebored:
Tarentino is kinda doing that MC Hammer thing he did to Rick James, (beyutch).
He's recreating "something" from the 70s... The problem is, when you recreate crap and then you work hard to make it appear like authentic 70s crap, you still ended up with "crap"...:dontknow: :toilet:
People went to this type of cheesy drive-in movie in the 70s to get high and have sex... Nobody actually WATCHED them...:dontknow: Did they????:dontknow:
Disclaimer... ship's mast??? if she had been NEKKED... maybe would have helped this rag acheive a "B" rating...:dontknow: BUT, she really wasn't that hot... BUT BOOBS do help!:rock:

:dontknow: Is it just me???:dontknow:
AHHH YEA!!! CHERRY DARLING!!!:rock:
OK so the cheerleader ain't so bad either...:dontknow:
I Agree. THIS IS NOTHING LIKE PULP FICTION.
For someone to claim this as "real Tarantino work" is ludicrous and that statement is laughable at best. Ask any self respecting Tarantino fan and they'll tell you the same. I like Kill Bill, real Tarantino vibe and style, Pulp Fiction, just as good, this!?!? LMAO! It's like kissing a bullfrog and miss universe, not even close mate. Save money and watch the "car chase" on You Tube........
