Anecdotes:

In the uncut European version of Death Proof, there is a scene where Stuntman Mike feels Abernathy's feet while she is asleep in the car and Lee isn't paying attention. When she wakes up from it, he pretends he just touched them by accident as he was walking by going to his car. Later when he attacks the girls driving the challenger, this explains how Abernathy is the only person who recognizes him from earlier.

Goofs:

Factual errors: The Austin Chili Parlor, although also a real-life Austin restaurant, does not contain several elements seen in the movie, such as a back patio and parking lot.

Down to basics

In my opinion Tarantino is a genius, but after seeing the comments on IMDb I honestly did not think much of this movie. So I sat down to watch it with no expectations. To my surprise I loved every minute of it, culminating with one of the best endings in cinema I can remember. Brilliantly played by Kurt Russel.

The women dominates this movie with hardly no men, played by brilliant and interesting actors that glues you to the screen. It is full of classic Tarantino shots like the motor hood shot, the long-hallway-conversation-no-cut shot and so forth. The dialogs are long and uncut, boring but yet strangely captivating bringing you down to basics of movie-making and acting. And of curse the ultra-cool music.

As a female one of my weaknesses in cinema is my love for strong female hero movies and I get my money worth here, and more.

Masterfull!
