About this deal

Much was made of this long before it even arrived in the UK and poor box office had seen Grindhouse split into two feature films. I'll comment on what I believe the impact of this was on Death Proof but first a word about the project. I have no problem with directors homaging the style of a period or genre as long as they do it well. The Good German did it pretty well recently and I had hoped that Death Proof would bring the world of trashy b-movie pictures to me, having never experienced it for myself. So basically I rented Death Proof looking for Tarantino to use it to explain to me why he loves this genre and show me how "good" it can be if met on its terms.

The hot summer brings out all the stunning girls in their hot shorts, tight tops and sassy attitudes. Two such groups of girls are enjoying a carefree world of dance, music, boys and drink when they find themselves stalked by the charming but yet sinister "Stuntman Mike" – a killer hunting down young women and killing them with his "death proof" car.

But Death Proof is a different animal altogether. Being his own cinematographer, QT has full control over the shots that he makes, and injects plenty of sleaze into his story - buxomy, leggy girls in tight tees and perky butts peeking out of hot pants, flaunting their power of sexuality in alpha-female styled attitudes. It's actually two different segments in one movie, each being quite different from the other in terms of themes, and style. This movie was a total disgrace to the genre and shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath as movies that showed in the old Grindhouses. For those that are unaware, a Grindhouse was an establishment that showed exploitation films starting in the late 50's, in the area where I grew up it was mainly drive-ins.

It's well made & has that big budget look about it anyway although the use of loud annoying songs irritated me. The acting is alright although most of the girls really annoyed me, they all seem to have these horrible attitudes that just rubbed me up the wrong way. The car chase scenes are amazing to watch, and they are very thrilling. Sometimes they just happen to be pretty hard to follow.
