Extended and Unrated

A deranged stuntman stalks his victims from the safety of his killer car, but when he picks on the wrong group of badass babes, all bets are off in an adrenaline-pumping, high speed, white-knuckle automotive duel of epic proportions, where anything can happen.

Mr Tarantino, one of the most overrated living director in Hollywood, has disappointed once again.

This movie has none of the ingredients that made Pulp fiction a true cult movie: The dialogue are uninspired, the visuals average, the story uninteresting etc.

And even though the first part has some good scenes that second part, particularly the end is poorly executed.
Most of the characters are extremely annoying, apart from the "bad guy" who ends up being a victim of QT's fantasies.

I would not recommend this movie unless you're a Tarantino fanboy.

I really enjoyed this one, much to my own dismay. I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but I was so riveted by it, I couldn't take my eyes off the screen. It's true that the dialogue feels a bit heavy and long-in-the-tooth at first, but it eventually kicks in to high gear and everything that happened before the climax becomes important and relevant. I recommend this hands-down to anyone with a soft spot for grimy 70s horrors.

Watching these movies was the most fun I've had in a movie theatre in a long time. You have to hand it to Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino, they know how to pay hommage to the movies they loved to watch in their youth. Watching Grindhouse brought back some of my own memories of favourite b-movies. Planet Terror (Robert Rodriguez) was without a doubt my favourite of the two, it had everything to make the experience so enjoyable, hilarious cheesy dialogue, crazy splatter gore, a mundane plot filled with holes, plus Rose McGowan using a machine gun as a prosthetic leg (pure genius). Unfortunately, I was pretty disappointed by Death Proof, which is surprising because I enjoy Quentin Tarantino movies so much. I think the problem with QT's movie was the dialogue between the women in his film. Normally, his style of long conversations that have zero relevance to the story and peppered with funny pop culture references is what makes his movies so good. But he didn't succeed here, aside from a few moments, most of the non-action scenes are really boring and not very funny. The girls conversations in the car, bar and diner were just long and pointless, and while some may argue that it's done intentionally, I really don't think so. I think QT just wrote a dud. That being said the action scenes are very cool and the edge of your seat stunt driving is the best part of this movie. Kurt Russell as Stuntman Mike was great, his scenes are the best part of this movie, when he's flirting with the girls in the bar was very good. The trailers before and in between the movies were hilarious and it would be great if they actually got made into movies.
