If there’s one movie in Quentin Tarantino‘s career that messed with his mojo it would be his Monte Hellman homage Death Proof, which was the second title in the filmmaker’s 2007 double feature Grindhouse with Robert Rodriguez.

I just watched it again the other night. The whole plot is just an excuse for the car chase, but man, what a car chase. It was so great to see Zoe Bell as an actual actress, and not just as Uma Therman's stunt double.

Or Lucy Lawless's stunt double. (Xena)
