The idea of Grindhouse was a double back to back feature. International audiences think the cinema people are exploiting the situation to roll in big bucks when the 2 features are split and sold as individual. I think the cinema people are just trying to maximise the profits to just try to break even. LOL.
Death Proof might had been a bizarre experience for those of Modern Cinema. People who are new to QT's style will find it a really bad film with nothing but Bitches yakking away. Those who knows QT is paying homage to Grindhouse Films which translate to BAD CINEMA. I don't think I watch any of these but think cheap Taiwanese movies they shown in Midnight or any Cleaned Up Cat III HK movies. Add in the scratched, aged film look with disjoint reel and such. There you have it.
Plot is linear. In fact Death Proof is like 2 movies on it's own.
First Act is about a psycho,stalker Stuntman Mike who had been stalking 3 girls around in Texas and made contact with them in a bar before bumping them off with his "Death Proof" Chevy Nova with a head on collision of their vehicle. You got to love Kurt Russell for being such an Asshole as Stuntman Mike.
Because they got eyes on Mike for the stunt he pulled in Texas (he was free to go after all that shit), he appeared in Tenassee 14 months later.
Hence comes the closing act which he tries to terrorise another group of girls. He ends up getting more than he bargained for naturally. You got to love Kurt Russell for being such a wimp as Stuntman Mike.
Guess what's the part with the most laughs are at???
When THE END pops up.
So how much is the movie worth??? All of your $9???
I don't know. I rather pay $30 more to get the DVD hearing QT and Kurt yakking away. LOL.
