Not as violent as I expected, but still not for kids.
While certainly not appropriate for kids, this movie wasn't as violent as I was expecting it to be considering it's Tarantino. Kurt Russel was fantastic as the bad guy, and the girls were cool and kicked butt. A fun not-too violent horror movie if you're 15+.
Not exactly wholesome family entertainment, but it isn't as bad as CSM makes it out to be, either. Sure, there's F-words galore, and some bursts of extreme violence, but I think most teens could handle it.
All in all, I loved this film. It's probably only for Quentin Tarantino fans, since many will probably become bored by the multiple scenes of dialogue. But I was very entertained by the dialogue, and the last 20 minutes are exhilarating. Death Proof has, easily, the best car chase I've ever seen in a movie. The ending will make you want to stand up and cheer. This movie was just alot of fun! I loved it.
Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof all right for mature teens
The movie Death Proof is not that bad. It has a lot of sexual dialouge wich is very detailed. the F word is constant throughout the movie. it also has some other terrible languge. The only violence in this film is 2 car carshes and one brutal and graphic beating at the end of the movie. This was a 1 hour and 53 minute waste of my time. Overall it was a crappy movie that was not entertaining. See Planet Terror for entertainment, it was a much more enjoyable film than Death Proof.
I love Quentin Tarantino movies! And i was deffintly looking forward to this but it was truly a dissapointment. Most of the movie was just annoying girls swearing and gossiping. The only parts that i really found worth watching were the 2 death scenes and the last 20 minutes of the film. Overall it really just didnt give you that grindhouse feel that Planet Terror gave you which i highly reccomend seeing! If you do decide to see it the death scenes espically the first one are pretty gory and there is also tons of swearing but hey it's a Tarantino film what do you expect? While you cant get this as the double feature along with Planet Terror on DVD you can watch it on some prenium movie channels on T.V. such as Starz and Encore and its also on Netflix. If you dont get either of those i reccomend checking out Planet Terror instead of this. And if you do see it as a double feature do be prepared to see some more graphic violence and nudity in the 3 other fake trailers that play before Death Proof pertically in the funny but rather disturbing Thanksgiving trailer.
Even if you don't like this movie, your teenagers will. I went to see Grindhouse with my friends when the double feature came out, and we all loved it. The age group most likely to enjoy Death Proof would be from thirteen to around twenty-seven, depending on maturity. Some twelve year olds could handle it, and I'm sure a few thirty- and forty- somethings loved it as much as teenagers, but generally, 13-27. Great movie- the Robert Rodriguez half of Grindhouse was better though. They ought to keep them together when releasing on DVD.
perfect for anyone who won't freak out about some violence or the lap dance.
The movie had a simple message. You get what's coming to you. I'd also like to say that everyone who said this movie was too gory or had to much swearing (including the reviewer) is beyond help or just plain stupid. It's a tarantino film. If you go see a tarantino flick and expect it to be swearless or to have every limb attatched by the end, you're watching the wrong movie
