“This car is 100% death proof. Only to get the benefit of it honey… you really need to be sitting in my seat !”
The least successful film by Quentin Tarantino (in terms of profit) is still highly entertaining in style, well acted and always room for a ‘Classic Scene’. Stuntman Mike (a dynamic Kurt Russell) is a scarred psychopath who uses his ‘Death Proof’ car to murder young women for his sadistic pleasure.
SETTING THE SCENE : Mike picks up Pam (Rose McGowan) at a bar and charms her into giving her a lift home. They stop at a crossroads as Mike asks Pam which direction she wants to go…
INT. MIKE’S CAR. NIGHT
Mike : Well Pam, which way you going ? Left or right ?
Pam : Right.
Mike : Arrh, that’s too bad
Pam : Why ?
Mike : Well, because it was a 50/50 shot whether you’d be going left or right. You see, were both going left. You could have just as easily been going left too, and if that was the case, it would of been a while before you started getting scared. But since your going the other way, i’m afraid… your gonna have to start getting scared… immediately.
Mike puts his foot down and drives off like a maniac while Pam is thrown around like a rag doll in the car’s ‘unsafe’ side where the passenger seat is.
At first Pam abuses Mike but is thrown around so much she nearly loses consciousness and is bleeding in more than one place. She then begins to realize the danger she is really in…
Pam : Okay. Here’s the thing. I get it. I know it’s a joke and super funny. Um, but if you just stop right now, you know and let me out, i’ll never tell anybody because i know it’s a joke. I know all about jokes. I promise everything will be fine. Just, just, just let me out. Please ? And, and..
Mike : Hey Pam ! Remember when i said this car was death proof ? Well, that wasn’t a lie. This car is 100% death proof. Only to get the benefit of it Honey… you really need to be sitting in my seat !
Mike slams on the breaks and Pam flies forward brutally smashing her face open against the windscreen.

Hands down, the scariest car chase I’ve ever seen was the one in this movie. Just when we’d thought we’d seen it all…Tarantino puts a motherfucking stunt woman on the hood of the car. And Kurt Russell? Plain creepy. As this quote well proves. It’s really a shame modern audiences can’t sit still for more than two hours, even if it’s a double feature of pure genius.
