AICN EXCLUSIVE: See Kurt Russell as Stunt Man Mike in Tarantino's DEATH PROOF!!!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. My God, how I love Kurt Russell. As much as I didn't like POSEIDON, I really loved to see Kurt Russell kicking ass and taking names again in a big summer flick. Without descending too deeply into my geek heart, I have to say this man's an idol of mine. Growing up he was a constant, whether it was a comedy with Goldie or one of his John Carpenter masterpiece team-ups, I always saw Kurt Russell... and he's the only man alive that looks cool with a mullet.
Anyway, we got a few spy pics from the shooting of DEATH PROOF here in Austin. I need to crash this set at some point. Thanks to FleshGordon, Glinda and "The Jackass," for the pics. Russell looks just as badass as I was expecting him to look. You can click on each smaller picture below to get the super hi-res big daddy version! Enjoy!!!

this whole FIRST thing just gets screwed up with this cached messages thang.
-
If that's it, that's incredibly lame. Hardly horror material.
-
...which in effect, puts me first. kurt russell kinda has "old-man chest". he'd still be my go-to guy if i needed a special shoe closet constructed....................................................................Overboard rules.
-
I doubt "that's it"
-
I love Kurt Russell as well. Come ladies! Super hot right?! Anyway, I love Soldier. Not sure why more people don't.
-
kurt's a bad mofo, and i'd wait till we see a trailer before calling anything dealing with this film "lame"...
-
Is it just me, or does Kurt kinda resemble Kris Kristofferson in that last pic?
-
Yep! Thats a dead ringer for Mr Kristofferson.
Also looks like he's having some truble walking, damn old age! :D -
"Yeah, well, some of us can't see in the DARK, ya fuckin nipplehead; what the hell am I SPOSED to do?" BTW, Russell is always solid; I've liked him in just about everything I've seen him in. Anyone remember Unlawful Entry, when he went toe-to-toe with Ray Liotta?
-
make this movie good. hollywood is suckin'
-
Check out his IMDb entry. He's been workin' for 43 years. He must be doing somethin' right.
-
That's spam you stupid c*nt. Take your grade 7 level garbage and f*ckoff. I mean why would you promote something you made that sucks so severely? You're a total loser. Again, GTFO.
Thanks. -
...and undervalued actor in Hollywood. I've never seen a performance of his where he gave anything less than 100 percent, even when the movies were shit.
-
What about the Elvis turd that he and Costner served up a few years ago?
-
The reformed Regina Taylor. This time not constantly PMS'ing about stupid shit and making insanely STUPID fucking comments that get you banned. I know it's you Regina. Dont deny it.
-
Can't he visit the "A" Food Mart in peace??
-
And I have no idea why. I know he does a good job, that's he's been in good movies, and that he works hard, but for some chemical reason I do not like him, and I have no idea why. For some strange reason though, I DID like him in Vanilla Sky. I'm not attacking him at all here, just posting my strange Russell-related problem.
-
Blame it on talkback mentality.
-
Damn, it's a new QT movie!
-
Remind you of something? It just needs some blood on it, here and there.
-
Gotta have to tell Gus Van Rant toniiiiiiiiiiiight... gotta hafta tell Gus Van Rant TO-niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.... gotta have to tell Gus Van Rant toniiiiiiiight..... gotta have ta tell Gusvanrant TO-NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT (with kudos to Franz Ferdinand)
-
I heard he was dead.
-
This(These) movie(s) is(are) going to kick so much ass.
-
Fuck that is some awesome shit right there. Bring Grindhouse on mother fuckers!
-
looks like a wiener dog head on the mack truck dogs body.
-
"Hey Swap! Get me a beer."
-
Escape from New York. The Thing. Big Trouble in Little China. Used Cars. Tombstone. And, last but not least, my favorite Disney film The Fox and the Hound. Empirical evidence that serves as a basis for a theory which states that Kurt Russell fucking kicks ass. It is undeniable scientific fact.
-
Where's Kurt Russel?
-
Big Trouble In Little China!!! I'm talking John Carpenter, Kurt Russell, Dennis Dun, James Hong, etc... Get 'em all back. Hell, even find a way to CGI Victor Wong in there somehow. The world needs a secod helping of the Pork Chop Express. "When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, looks you crooked in the eye and asks you if ya paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that: 'Have ya paid your dues, Jack?" "Yessir, the check is in the mail.'"
-
Why do I only get half a Tarantino film? Why is he so goddamn lazy that he can't make a feature film every 4 or so years. Shit, I got to learn to like more consistent directors.
-
nice
-
crackerfarmboy... we are getting to see 2 2 hour length movies, so we are getting to see a full tarantino movie really.
besides he will do Inglorius Bastards next i think, and thats gonna be like 40 hours long.

C'mon!!!! Show me somethin' I don't know!!!
-
...keep teaching them it!"
Looks like the only cool stuff about Grindhouse will be Russell, the fake trailers and the Rodriguez-part ;) -
No offense, but I feel you're only as strong as your weakest link. Did anyone actually see Sharkboy and Lava-Girl in 3D? Who the FUCK thought that was a good idea? I like Rodriguez because he's ballsy. But damned if he can't get so wrapped up in needing to shoot something that he forgets to write the script first.
-
It's not all "Sharkboy and Lava-Girl in 3D"
-
i think we're forgetting something here, ladies and gents: there' a Snake Fuckin' Plissken on this motherfuckin' set!
-
They were casually taking in the Austin city scene. Russell was looking rugged and unshaven and totally blended into the crowd. Nice folks.
-
I understand that we are getting a "full length" (80 min) out of QT but it's still not the same. I then have to sit through a Robert "hit or miss" Rodriguez film afterwards. It may kill the atmosphere that only QT can create. I'd rather it was released in two seperate films "Death Proof" and "Planet Terror".
-
that russell and carpenter should team up again on something/anything. Escape from LA was terrible but i do still weep for the good old days and i'd still like to believe they still have it in them (just give 'em a zero budget and no frickin cameos...?). oh yeah this does look kinda good...
-
this is a close up?...A close up you jerk. A CLOSE UP!!!... Sorry, had to throw in a little Daffy Duck there.
-
Just see "Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia". Kurt Russel comes close sometimes.
-
for the land flowing with milk and honey? Or, at least, I've never seen "honey" next to milk advertised on a quickie-mart's sign.
-
a big trouble in little china sequel. i'm not kidding.
-
Aren't those establishments called CONVENIENCE stores? I only ask because that's what I've always thought they were called, but now in the past two days I've seen two separate instances of someone referring to them as CONVENIENT stores. I guess that either way, the last part of the first word and the first part of the word "store" blend together in the same way. Whatever. Maybe I'm crazy. CreasyBear, please don't think I'm just attacking you or anything, 'cause I'm definitely not. I'm just honestly wondering what the consensus is on this.
-
You can never go wrong with that.
-
First off, Tarantino has said that both segments of Grindhouse will run about two hours apiece, not 80 minutes ("This isn't going to be a 'Twilight Zone: The Movie' thing"). Secondly, if you don't want to watch the Rodriguez segment, and if it's second on the double-bill...*don't watch it*. Just walk out.
-
of "talk"backer mattyholmes plugging his lame website...how is this douche not banned yet?
-
Kurt Rocks. My fanboy heart is still holding out for Snake Plissken to make another foray onto the big screen!
-
I'm under the impression that the film will be 3 hours total. That's 1 hour and 20 minutes per film with about 10 minutes of "trailers". By your reckoning the film will be over 4 hours. I don't see that happening.
-
Wow. I haven't had such a good time since I became mesmerized by my toenails.

srsly.
-
Most underated guy around.
-
FOR DISAPPOINTMENT!!!
-
Who's anticipating the final two Kill Bill movies and the final two Sin City movies? That's what I'm waiting for. Especially the Kill Bill anime prequel and Kill Bill Volume 3 with Beatrix fighting Elle Driver and B.B. fighting Nikkia. THE SHIZZIT! Kurt Russel beats ass unapologeticly. Better choice than Mickey Rourke, by far. Rourke is Marv and will kick ass in Elmore Leonard's Killshot, which was partially shot in the downtown my hometown of Cape Girardeau, MO. Oh, and quit bashing QT, assholes. So he's lazy, so what?
-
Kill Bill is gonna take something like 15 years, right? Cause that girl has got to grow up.
I wondered what was up with the "honey" too. Also a little disappointed with the Red Apple Tans as I always thought of them as Red Apples, Green Apples, Gold Apples, etc. Stupid - I know. I just like those. On the sign, it looks like "blood" where "block ice" is.
