"Death Proof" tells the story of a psychopath named Stuntman Mike, played by Kurt Russell. This guy has a death-proof car....

The movie is divided into two parts. In the first, Stuntman Mike stalks and murders a group of women in a car accident.

In the second part, a new, much more cunning group of women take on Stuntman Mike and decide to give him a little lesson in girl power.

"Death Proof" is a film full of action, blood, and Tarantino's trademark outlandish dialogue.

It's a movie that brings out what Tarantino's films are all about.

People think it's the over-the-top violence. But in reality it is the dynamic conversations between characters that seem to say nothing but they say a lot.

It is worth mentioning. There was a budget for only one film, a budget that was split between Tarantino and Robert to make Grindhause. Tarantino let Robert take more budget for his Zombie movie and he was left with less.

That's why this movie doesn't have a lot of special effects and characterization. A simple story with a no-frills execution. And yet he still managed to get a movie with a lot of personality.
