As a film student, Quentin Tarantino isn’t too valuable in his filmography. He is in a position to denounce what he considers his worst film. And that difference was given to his 2007 action-horror film, Death Proof. as part of a double bill alongside Robert Rodriguez’s Planet Terror.
Although Tarantino’s Death Proof is his worst film, he doesn’t think it’s a failure. “Death Proof has to be the worst movie I’ve ever made,” the director once told THR. “And for a left-handed movie, it wasn’t too bad, okay?So if it’s the worst I’ve ever had, that’s fine. But I think one of those disconnected, old, lazy, flabby movies costs you 3 smart movies so far. according to your score.
For my money, even the director’s “worst movie” is still pretty visible. I love how the film lovingly pays homage to exploitation films from years later through narrative elements and visual presentation. Not to mention, Kurt Russell is hilarious in turn in the role of the sinister stuntman.
If you want to watch Death Proof, you can stream the movie on Tubi as soon as this article is published.
The setup goes like this: Specialist Mike (Russell) is a pro stuntman who likes to take unsuspecting women on deadly workouts in his spare time. He rigged his car for maximum impact; When Mike deliberately reasons through the rubble, the bodies pile up as he leaves with a slight scratch. However, crazy Mike might be lost when he heads to an organization of difficult friends, adding real-life stuntwoman Zoe Bell, who plays herself.
