Trivia:
In an interview with Newsweek, Quentin Tarantino stated he came up with the idea of Death Proof when he was talking to a friend about buying a car. Tarantino wanted to buy a Volvo because he "didn't want to die in some auto accident like the one in Pulp Fiction (1994)". In regards to the safety of the car, his friend had said, "Well, you could take any car and give it to a stunt team, and for $10,000 or $15,000, they can death-proof it for you." The "death proof" phrase had stuck to Tarantino after that. moreGoofs:
Audio/visual unsynchronized: Through out the movie they simulate splices in the film, sometimes in key places like people's names. In movie projectors, the sound head is in a different location than the shutter/lens area and so the sound is a foot or two ahead of the picture frame that it corresponds with, so a splice will show a flicker then a second later hit the sound head and play static. In the movie, the sound and visual affects of the splice are simultaneous. moreQuotes:

In my opinion Tarantino is a genius, but after seeing the comments on IMDb I honestly did not think much of this movie. So I sat down to watch it with no expectations. To my surprise I loved every minute of it, culminating with one of the best endings in cinema I can remember. Brilliantly played by Kurt Russel.
The women dominates this movie with hardly no men, played by brilliant and interesting actors that glues you to the screen. It is full of classic Tarantino shots like the motor hood shot, the long-hallway-conversation-no-cut shot and so forth. The dialogs are long and uncut, boring but yet strangely captivating bringing you down to basics of movie-making and acting. And of curse the ultra-cool music.
As a female one of my weaknesses in cinema is my love for strong female hero movies and I get my money worth here, and more.
Masterfull!
