I'm honestly glad Kurt Russel got the role over Mickey Rourke. I could definitely see him working in the creepy sense but the aspect of Kurt Russel that works soo well in Death Proof is his natural innocence. It sells you on the possibility that "maybe" he isn't bad. He pulls off both sides off the psycho flawlessly.

Yeah at the beginning, you have this sense of... "Am I judging this guy too quick, maybe he is not that bad", something that you would not do with Mickey Rourke who just looks like a iredeemable villain instantly.

Funny side Hollywood note. Mr. Kurt Russell was taught how to ride horses from my late great uncle the king of the valley STUNT MAN BOB!!!! In this movie Kurt says "u know how ppl say well that's ok in my book? Well I actually have a book" that is my uncle bob's catch phrase as is the call sign stunt man bob. Which is used in this movie as 'stunt man Mike'.

Love how at the beginning Joe Rogan was so fascinated by the concept of slasher movies.

I can’t imagine anyone else playing stuntman Mike except Kurt. He should play villains more often. I heard sly Stallone was offered the part of Mike, but turned it down. He said as a father of three girls, he was against the violent nature towards women.

One of the best Car chases since Steve McQueen's Bullitt! No CGI, real cars and real stunt drivers. Great story with good dialog and chemistry. Quentin should be proud of this movie! The younger audiences just did not understand low budget Grindhouse double features like we did when we grew up.

I worked there at the texas chili parlour when they filmed that movie. My manager is the one that sits in Tarantino's lap in the movie. Go Holy Rollers All Girl Roller Derby Team.

I love DEATH PROOF. KURT RUSSELL ACTING IS INSANE IN THAT FILM. ❤

I speak and use hand gestures like Quentin,and people things I do drugs , I don’t , it just he’s genius and fast.

Tarantino hasn't made a terrible movie yet! Everyone of them is Superb. If you don't see that then you just missed the point of cinema. Or went in expecting something else. Rewatch them with an open mind, you'll see. Cheers mate.

When I was in my prime childhood like 5-14 my dad loves QT and Robert Rodrigues all that shit , kill bill machete planet terror and literally me and him bonded over all these types of movies and death proof was amazing

I love death proof me and my dad would watch it so many times

Just watched Death Proof for the first time...WOWWWWWW

Mickey doing the greaser look would've been something

i named my cat stuntman mike after my favorite character played by my favorite actor in my favorite movie :)

Death Proof is arguably one of the most underrated movies in Tarantino's filmography, but as time goes by, the movie was gaining a certain notoriety, think also of Marty Scorsese and his movie The Irishman, some people found it boring because of the quantity of time it lasted and those who love cinema found it a real masterpiece. The following years will decide whether the film deserves to have people's notoriety and if we talk about the most actual fillmmakers, Chris Nolan is one of them, from being an underrated director to one of the most acclaimed ones thanks to his succesful movie Oppenheimer at the Oscars.

Can’t believe Mickey would listen to his agent to not be in a Tarantino film.

Mickey Rourke was too rough for that part anyways. And it wouldn't seem believable at the end to have women literally beat him to death. That role was meant for Kurt Russell (or a Michael Rooker, James Woods, or even John Travolta who has a brilliant poker face to play "Stuntman Mike").

Kurt Russell was perfect in death proof.

I remember seeing Grindhouse when it came out at the Pacific 12 in Culver City. Of course I knew what the vibe was and the fake trailers in between were a delight(save for that terrible Rob Zombie one), Death Proof didn’t really feel like a Grindhouse flick, but it was a thrill ride nonetheless. So much talking and naked dirty toes…QT’s heaven, but the stunt driving was the hook for sure. After the double feature, we are piling out and I hear some girl ask her granny what she thought of the film….”I liked them, but they sure looked old.” I laughed to myself. At the time, most casual filmgoers just didn’t get it.

Damn that role was TOTALLY written for Mickey, that would’ve been crazy. But Kurt was dope obviously.
