Summary: Fun
Comment: This movie doesn't live up to the Tarantino brand by any means, doesn't hold a candle to other films like Resevoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, or Jackie Brown. The dialogue, I'm sad to say, is not all that engaging, and that's what I'm really looking for in a Tarantino flick.
Tarantino does deliver on other trademarks, though, including getting a great performance from a washed up actor (Russell) and providing lots of laughs.
Then again, the movie is supposed to be completely cheesy, and it holds to that standard throughout, in a mildly entertaining way. And when it finally revs up, the payoff is phenomenal. I found myself laughing out loud several times during the action sequences, and at the end. All in all, it's a pretty entertaining movie, just check your brain at the door.
About the missing content, I really can't comment on it since I didn't see the original. I'd love to see it if it comes available, though. Maybe I'll check youtube.

Summary: I don't even want to give this film one star.
Comment: A little backstory on why I even watched this film. My fiance was a fine arts/art history major in college and I was at a party with a mess of her friends after a gallery show of theirs. We got to talking about movies and this film came up, as it had just been released in the theaters. I stuck my foot in my mouth by making a snap judgement in from of a couple of artsy fartsys who would rather try to present this movie as a gift from god than the utter piece of garbage it is. They got on my case about it so I eventually borrowed it from a friend who likes a lot of movie's I think are completelly shallow and pointless(300...yes I said 300). Anyways, so I gave it a chance. Needless to say I do not regret jumping the gun on this movie as it is probably the dumbest idea for a film ever created, except perhaps anything done by the imbecilical Larry the Cable Guy.
There is nothing redeeming about this movie. There is no story, no plot worth mentioning, and the fact that anyone in Hollywood thought it was a good idea to give money to the director who found it genius to put an assualt rifle in a woman's leg is just a sign of the times as far as people's entertainment value goes. This film is POINTLESS, I'm sorry, it really is. I love Kill Bill Vol. 1&2, but enough is enough. Tarantino is one flew over the cuckoo's nest and deserves no praise for this terrible excuse for a film.
If you into thing's like Deathrace, Sin City, or the new punisher movie comign out that use cool filming techniques to take the focus off the poor subject matter, then you will like this movie.
If you are looking for something with an involving story, characters, and or anything that you might show your children because it is so thoguht provoking or relevant, then you need not look here folks.

Summary: People (Reviewers) forget they are watching film noir Great stuff
Comment: I think because It's got that grain In the film like It's an old film IS FOR A REASON these reviewers forget. They are looking for a slickly produced fast paced money making thrill ride. NOT THE MOVIE HE'S MAKING!
Notice the black & white scenes.
This was done great for what Quenton was trying to do.
I do agree about the "Why Does He Have To Have A Sensless Part In Every Movie."
It's not a 5 star movie No but It's not trying to be.
And people are right the counterpart to this movie Rodrigous "Planet Terror" film was better! 5 star. Rose McGowan Is hot In both!! But has a much bigger part with the machine gun leg In Planet Terror. Good Luck
If your a fan you have nothing to worry about.

Summary: Entertaining, A High Velocity Kinda Ride
Comment: Quentin Tarantino's "Death Proof" displays a great exploitation film.
Kurt Russell stars as a psychotic, maniacal stunt driver. He enjoys high speed pursuits racking up terror, and delivering his sinister glares. The film is really simple in nature, entertaining enough to view a few times over. Slabbing the 'grindhouse' name in order to authenticate its manor may of hurt its success, but it really is a decent worthwhile film. Movies of this nature are becoming rarer, and many are often utter garbage. Always nice to see a decent one.
Character development actually happens, and slow moments are only to further develop characters. The movie though relatively moves swiftly, maintaining the classic cars and chases as its focus. The film seems to come in two parts, my first time viewing it I had no idea of the first half. Overall it has been greeted with much air time on many movie channels, check it out. If you like what you see purchase it!

Editorial Reviews:

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.
