Death Proof is a 2007 horror film directed by Quentin Tarantino. It is the fourth film in the "Grindhouse" double feature, accompanied by Robert Rodriguez's Planet Terror. The movie focuses on Stuntman Mike, a former Hollywood stunt double who is now a psychotic killer. His weapon of choice? His "death proof" car, a 1970 Chevy Nova.
The film is divided into two parts, with the first half following Jungle Julia and her friends as they go out partying in Austin, Texas. The second half takes place in Lebanon, Tennessee, and follows a group of stuntwomen who cross paths with Stuntman Mike.
As the film progresses, it becomes clear that Stuntman Mike is not just a random killer, but a man with a grudge against women who work in the film industry. However, his ego gets the best of him when he targets a group of stuntwomen who are more than capable of fighting back.
The film features an ensemble cast that includes Kurt Russell as Stuntman Mike, Rosario Dawson, Vanessa Ferlito, Sydney Tamiia Poitier, and Zoë Bell. It also includes several nods to classic car movies and Tarantino's trademark dialogue and violence.
Overall, Death Proof is a thrilling and suspenseful film that showcases Tarantino's unique style and love of cinema.
