Want A Rundown On What The Europeans Will See When DEATH PROOF Plays?!
Hey, everyone. ”Moriarty” here.
Well, Europe, the various bits and pieces of GRINDHOUSE are starting to roll out for you guys now, and I’m personally itching to see the longer version of DEATH PROOF. So I’m eager to read responses to the cut that played at Cannes, reviews like this one:
Hí Harry, love the page and the time all you guys put in it. I just catched the first german press screening of Tarantino’s bad ass ride “Death Proof” in its 124 Minutes Version and want to share the little and big differences between your US – double feature version and our single experience.
I saw the American double feature one month ago (we have internet in Germany ) and loved how the two films where combined, with actors even having the same parts in both movies, loved the awesome fake trailers ( Germany would go crazy about “Werewolf Woman of the SS” ;). And was blowed away by how much details of seventies footage and movie quotes both directors has put in these flicks, so first I was disappointed hiring that the European guys just can watch “death proof” and a month later “planet terror” on their own but in the long version everything just makes more sense, Quentin takes more time to introduce all the fine ladies and has more dirty Kurt Russel stuff. So for just one feature film this version is the better one, though the double feature is far more fun, with the right crowd!
Here the differences step by step:
We just start with the restricted sign and don’t have the “brought to you by the Weinstein Company” vintage logo and no fake trailers. Point for the US .
In the car scene that introduces us to jungle julia and her friends, pot is a far more explored issue, they explain a character that is missing in the US version, a blond pot dealer girl that looks like a lesbian and later in the film is driving the car in that stuntman mike is crashing. When everyone is bitching against everyone because there is nothing to smoke, shanna (Jordan Ladd) decides that Julia should call the dealer. The best idea she had the whole day, according to the others. Point for Germany , come on blonde lesbian pot dealers!
Kurts Character is introduced while spying on the girls with a nice shot that shows him looking at their photos which you will see later, after he killed the blonde chick and says “know I gonna get your friends”, when he opens the illuminated rear-view mirror his face gets a shiny smiling introduction. 2:1 Germany , you can’t get enough of mikes nasty smiles!
In The Diner we have more close-up Jukebox shots.
In our version Pam (Rose McGowan) is a total slut, don’t know if that is great or not, but as she leaves the others to smoke a cigarette outside in the rain, some dude with a red umbrella asks her to make out in his car. She answers just that her hair has to stay straight, he should kiss good and that she only wants it to take less than 7 minutes. They agree, he opens his umbrella and they go to his car. You don’t even see the action, guess that’s your point and a draw know 2:2.
Eli Roth calls Shanna - Shawna, she hates it.
More close-up jukebox shots.
After Mike tells Butterfly the poem and calls her chicken shit, she gives him a lap-dance!
Yeah, we have the lap-dance, nevertheless Vanessa Ferlito has a little belly, it looks fabulous!
Kurt Russel is great, having is eyes closed and just enjoying the show, trying to touch her tits secretly. Vanessa is a total eye catcher in this scene, whispering in his mouth, slowly drifting her hand through Russel’s hair, whispering the song that is played (actually forgot it, something where a “red banana” or so is mentioned) and popping her nice ass out.
After that some missing reel like thing is going on and we are outside again.
Definitive 3:2 for Germany , although Vanessa keeps her clothes on.
Dock Block explaines that Mike was really hit hard because his small finger and some rips are broken. Our crowd was laughing.
Know this is just awesome, as Michael Parks talks to his “son number one” his son realises that Mike could have killed the girls on purpose and that there hasn’t been an accident. Michael Parks agrees and as they think what they should do about it Michael says that the judge would say, the girls drank too much alcohol, smoke too much pot and that Mike hasn’t drank anything and he wouldn’t be guilty. “So what should we do?” Parks: “I could follow him in my free time, I could do some research on my own and then bust him. But on the other hand I could use my free time to watch the Nascar season!” It would be so cool, Michael Parks in an detective rip off spying on Kurt Russel. As I watched the scene I really thought that this could be a great idea 4:2 Germany .
In the Europe version the tough new girls are introduced entirely different. A black and white scene shows them hanging around a gas station where Stuntman Mike spots them. As Rosario Dawson enters the shop her mobile rings having the “twisted nerve” ring tone and the clerk offers her a copy of an Italian Vogue which he has hidden. Kurt Russel does an awesome job tickling Rosario Dawsons feet and trying to lick them. So Kurt Russel being a foot fetish, 5:2 for Germany , but the Italian Vogue thing?! Okay 5:3!
So that was pretty much everything, envy you guys for a great double feature, but 5:3 for the European “Death Proof” version.
