Kurt Russell is the greatest. Snake Pliskin, Jack Burton, McCready...and now Stuntman Mike.
People complain about the slow start and dialogue heavy front half when talking Death Proof, expecting a standard Serial killer flick (of which this is Tarantino's take.) But they miss the subtext of the exploration of feminism through the ages... the first set of girls ultimately being submissive to blokes...while the second group are empowered...taking on Kurt's killer.
The car chases are (as you'd expect from self taught film student Quentin) amazing as are the adorable cast from the cute MNary Elizabeth Winstead, the sultry Vanessa Ferlito and the radiant Rosario!
Coolest, laugh-out-loud moment in movies in 2007 = The girls leaving the car park on their fateful journey while Kurt breaks the forth wall, turns to camera and smiles. Go get 'em Mike!
