Although the film gained acclaim, it was considered Tarantino’s cult-classic film. However, one iconic scene in the film resulted in the director calling it an iconic and cinematic death.
Quentin Tarantino’s Death Proof Wasn’t Without Deaths
Starring Kurt Russell in the lead role, Death Proof narrates the story of a psychopathic killer with an American Muscle car by his side who stalks and kills people.
