The 10 Best Scenes From Quentin Tarantino Movies

5) The Chase – Death Proof (2007)

Tarantino’s insistence on not using any CGI to generate the car chase sequence for the climax of his grindhouse homage Death Proof paid off in dividends: using real cars and real stunt performers, he crafted arguably the best car chase in 21st century cinema.

Pursued by the insane Stuntman Mike (Kurt Russell), two stunt women and an actress find themselves at the mercy of his reckless driving as he tries to run them off the road. But Stuntman Mike didn’t quite anticipate that these woman might be better drivers than him. Urk.

After almost killing them, the women turn the tables and try to take Mike down themselves. The greatest moment of the chase, however, occurs as Zoe Bell clings to the bonnet of a Dodge Challenger performing “The Mast” – something she really did to achieve the sensational effect.

Stuntman Mike is eventually reduced to a snivelling baby and the three characters proceed to beating the shit out of him and crushing his skull with a well-placed drop-kick that inches a shoe inside his head.
