Plot Outline:

Two separate sets of voluptuous women are stalked at different times by a scarred stuntman who uses his “death proof” cars to execute his murderous plans.

• When the car crashes through the sign for a drive inn, the movies playing are Scary Movie 4 (2006) and Wolf Creek (2005), all Dimension Films releases.
• The cheerleader costume worn by Mary Elizabeth Winstead says ‘Vipers’ in homage to the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad (DiVAS) in the “Kill Bill” movies. It is also the same colors as Uma Thurman’s jump suit; yellow with black stripes.
• Zoe Bell does all her own stunts (she was the stunt double for Uma Thurman in the Kill Bill series, which was also directed by Quentin Tarantino).
• The jukebox (named AMi, pronounced “Amy”), is Quentin Tarantino’s own. It was trucked to Austin to be used in the film in its very own rig. The list of songs on it was also hand-written by Tarantino.
• t Warren’s bar, there is a sign that says “CASH ONLY” with the famous photo of Johnny Cash giving the finger.
• In the uncut European version of Death Proof, there is a scene where Stuntman Mike feels Abernathy’s feet while she is asleep in the car and Lee isn’t paying attention. When she wakes up from it, he pretends he just touched them by accident as he was walking by going to his car. Later when he attacks the girls driving the challenger, this explains how Abernathy is the only person who recognizes him from earlier.
• All of the posters for Death Proof are inaccurate. The car is depicted without its rubber duck hood ornament.
• According to Zoe Bell, when her friend Quentin Tarantino told her she would be starring in the movie she thought she would be just a featured extra. She copped on when she saw her name on the poster.
• The Crazy Babysitter Twins from Planet Terror (2007) can be seen in Warren’s Bar during the lap dance sequence. They are standing by the door when Butterfly starts crawling on the floor.
• Eli Roth’s character “Dov” hits on Jordan Ladd’s character “Shanna”. They both starred together in Cabin Fever (2002) (which Roth directed) where Roth’s character “Justin” also hits on Ladd’s character “Karen”. Dov gets a lot further than Justin does.
• Rosario Dawson convinced Quentin Tarantino to cut her hair like pin-up icon Bettie Page for her role.
• Pam’s hair, make up and clothing were designed to contrast heavily with Rose McGowan’s appearance as Cherry Darling in Planet Terror (2007).
