The Worst Film He Made—And I Loved It

Quentin called it his worst film. I watched it twice. Death Proof (2007), his half of the chaotic double feature with Robert Rodriguez, is loud, messy, indulgent—and weirdly addictive. Kurt Russell plays a stuntman turned killer in a car built to survive crashes. That’s it. That’s the movie. It’s all there: Tarantino’s gore-slicked aesthetic, B-movie flair, long-winded bar chatter, and sudden whiplash violence. No emotional arc, just tension and tire tracks. It’s not his tightest work—but maybe that’s the charm. There’s a kind of reckless freedom in Death Proof. A film that doesn’t care if you like it. And sometimes, that’s exactly what I want. #entertainment #movie #cultclassiclove
