Death Proof
Quentin Tarantino delivers an adrenaline shot to the heart with DEATH PROOF, released for the first time on Blu-ray 26 January 2009 by Momentum Pictures.
The visionary director serves up a hot peddle to the metal, white knuckle ride, behind the wheel of a psycho serial killer’s roving, revving, racing death machine. Featuring exhilarating high-speed action and jaw-dropping stunts, KURT RUSSELL (ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK) stars as a sociopathic stuntman whose taste for stalking sexy young ladies gets him into big trouble when he tangles with the wrong gang of badass babes. Their confrontation escalates to a hair-raising, 18-minute tarmac burning automotive duel with one of the hot girls strapped to the hood of a thundering Dodge Challenger, that will have you on the edge of your seat mile after mile.
Demonstrating to perfection Tarantino’s passion for exploitation B-movies, DEATH PROOF was inspired by the unique distribution of horror classics of the sixties and seventies, complete with shockingly bold features replete with missing reels and plenty of exploitative mayhem, it is the must-have DVD for adrenaline junkies. Fusing classic car chase sequences and gore-ridden slasher flicks DEATH PROOF is a truly original nail-biting experience.
KURT RUSSELL turns in a superb virtuoso performance in DEATH PROOF as the truly evil, devious, deranged lunatic Stuntman Mike – a psychotic serial killer and Hollywood stunt double who uses his ‘death proof’ Chevy to fulfil his murderous lust. Joining Russell as Tarantino’s girls are ROSARIO DAWSON (Sin City, Rent, 25th Hour), ROSE MCGOWAN (Planet Terror, The Black Dahlia, TV’s Charmed) and MARY ELIZABETH WINSTEAD (Die Hard 4.0, Factory Girl). In addition, real-life stuntwoman ZOE BELL (Uma Thurman’s body double in Kill Bill), playing herself to wonderful effect, proves to be more than a match for Stuntman Mike, ensuring the film’s climax is an exhilarating 100% stunt action triumph - and all done without any use of CGI effects!
So if you want to experience the thrill of the ride that is Death Proof and are prepared to have your senses mashed to pulp in the process, then you’re in for a sadistic treat when the Blu-ray hits the streets.
Death Proof is released on Blu-ray on 26 January.
