    Fucker, that was the line I wanted to post.

    "You know what Jack Burton says!"

    "Who?"

    "JACK BURTON, ME! He says---ah what the hell". :lol:

    Great movie. He was great in The Thing and Backdraft as well. I know Backdraft is cheesy, but his acting is enjoyable and you sympathize with Bull as a character.

    One of my favorite exchanges in movie history:

    Pam: [pause] Okay. Why would someone who doesn't drink spend hours at a bar, drinking water?
    Stuntman Mike: You know, a bar offers all kinds of things other than alcohol.
    Pam: Hmm, really. Like what?
    Stuntman Mike: [pause] Women. Nacho Grande platters. The fellowship of some fascinating individuals, like Warren here.
    Pam: Fair enough. So what's your name, icy?
    Stuntman Mike: Stuntman Mike.
    Pam: [pause] "Stuntman Mike's" your name?
    Stuntman Mike: You can ask anybody.

    I'm a big fan of both Russell and Stallone, but I thought T & C sucked.

    It's too bad they didn't follow up Escape From New York sooner. Escape from LA was pretty weak. They should have come up with something cool for the Cleveland story.

    How old are you? That could determine you not liking it.

    Mine was the exchange between Stuntman Mike and Arlene that ended with this line from Kurt

    Stuntman Mike: You know how people say, YOU'RE OKAY IN MY BOOK, or AND IN MY BOOK THAT'S NO GOOD. Well, I actually have... a book. And everybody I ever met goes in this book. And now I've met you, and... YOU'RE GOING IN THE BOOK TOO. Unfortunately, now I'm gonna have to file you under chicken... shit.

    Death Proof is an utter piece of crap, seems like a cheap Tarantino knock off. Easily his worst film. Planet Terror creamed it.

    Just glad he made up for it with Inglorious Basterds.

    Yeah you are crazy. It wasnt a tarantino Knock off it was a Grind off knock off, which the movies were low budget shit movies. However, this was done very well. And dialogue was up there with all other Tarantino movies. Planet terror wasnt tarantino.

    there are many quotes. I am a fan of this one:

    Lee: You carry a gun?
    Kim: Uh-huh.
    Lee: Do you have a licence to carry it?
    Kim: Yeah, when I became a secret service agent, they gave me a licence.
    Lee: I didn't know you were a...
    I didn't say it! Stop looking at me!
    I didn't say it!
    Did you know Kim carries a gun?
    Abernathy: Yes. Do I approve, no. Do I know, yes.
    Kim: Look, I don't know what futuristic Utopia you live in, but the world I live in, a bitch needs a gun.
    Abernathy: You can't get around the fact that people who carry guns tend to get shot more than people who don't.
    Kim: And you can't get around the fact, that if I go down to the laundry room in my building at midnight enough times, I might get my ass raped.
    Lee: Don't do your laundry at midnight.
    Kim: Fuck that! I wanna do my laundry whenever the fuck I wanna do my laundry.
    Abernathy: There's other things you can carry other than a gun. Pepper spray.
    Kim: Motherfucker try to rape me, I don't wanna give him a skin rash.
    I wanna shut that nigga down.
    Abernathy: What about a knife at least?
    Kim: You know what happens to motherfucker's carry knives? They get shot!

    lol, when did I say Planet Terror was Tarantino? It was part of the same double header, ie project Grindhouse, and out of the 2, planet terror is far superior, and generally I much prefer Quentin to Rodriguez.

    And no, I exactly what it's supposed to be, and Planet Terror achieved it very well, emulating a low budget horror, Death Proof didn't. The only good bit is when he first starts flinging them around like ragdolls.

    Nothing about it is up to Tarantino's usual standard, the acting, directing, camerawork, music, and especially dialog, it's just crap.

    I should probably rewatch it as I have only seen it once, but I was very, very disappointed. I'm a big fan of every other film of Tarantino's, I even love Jackie Brown. Pam Grier is awesome.
