Article
Death Proof is a 2007 American slasher film written, co-produced, shot and directed by Quentin Tarantino. It stars Kurt Russell as a stuntman who murders young women with modified cars he describes as "death-proof". Rosario Dawson, Vanessa Ferlito, Jordan Ladd, Rose McGowan, Sydney Tamiia Poitier, Tracie Thoms, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, and Zoë Bell co-star as the women he targets.
The film was originally released theatrically by Dimension Films on April 6, 2007 as part of Grindhouse, a double feature that combined Death Proof with Robert Rodriguez's Planet Terror. After Grindhouse underperformed at the domestic box office, Death Proof was released as a standalone feature in other countries and on home media. It received mostly positive reviews for its stunt sequences and tribute to exploitation cinema, although its pacing was criticized. It grossed $31.1 million against a $30 million budget.
