Of course then it would be charged with leaving a lasting impression of misogyny, and no studio would touch it - retro or not.

yes....death proof is way too much "tarantino" and not enough "exploitation"

Tarantino is amazing and Death Proof was just that. Tarantino is good at writing dialogue that's what he does. The car chases were great and the death scenes were awesome. If Death Proof were to be played over Planet Terror then everyone would have loved it.

i find "tarantino dialogue"to be boarder-line funny observational humour and for the most part good and applicable.....but during death proof i kept on getting the feeling i was listening to "george costanza"

To each their own.

Actually, I thought Death Proof's dialogue sucked as well. It was amatuerish at best. His writing only works with truly talented actors, and the girls in Death Proof were not truly talented (although it doesn't help that this was far and away Tarantino's worst writing to date). Hence, the conversations were boring, gossipy messes.

I think a lot of people are quick to defend Quentin because he has made so many great dialogue pieces in the past, but if this were a first attempt, no one would take it seriously.
