Death Proof is an American thriller film written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. Released in 2007, Death Proof is one half of the Grindhouse double feature. The other half is the American action horror film Planet Terror, written and directed by Robert Rodriguez. Outside of the United States, the two were released individually due to Tarantino’s understanding that the double feature is a cinematic concept known only within the United States.[2]
Plot Summary[]
The movie follows Stuntman Mike, a psychopathic murderer and former Hollywood stunt car driver, as he stalks and kills young women from behind the wheel of his modified “death-proof” stunt cars. This method allows him to stage their deaths as lethal car accidents. Though he succeeds in slaughtering the first group of ladies in Austin, Texas, the second group in Lebanon, Tennessee proves to be too much for him to handle.
