When Uma Thurman utter's her exposition in the KILL BILL films- about she's going to murder every person who's ever wronged her- it's the type of dialogue in the hands of any director would and should be terrible and laughable- but Tarantino knowing this milks and goes at this type of dialogue full force making each actor own it 100% and ends up making it work. He goes directly at themes and genres that he loves dearly and are more than often bad, b, c and d tier genre's that most of the public won't give the time of day to and owns them fully. What I believe is, Tarantino is actually one of the few people who through the span of his career makes "his film". Strictly in terms with the job of the director.īut if they set out to make a bad film and achieve it perfectly fufilling and embracing all of the things they know could make a bad film and execute it deftly, I believe the Director deserves note for this. If a director sets out to make a serious film that is accidentally hilarious- they failed. That is, the Director is fully aware of what they are doing and the results of the film are directly meeting the criteria of what is they wanted in the first place. I believe part of what makes a "perfect film" is- for better or worse-is that it is the exact film The Director set out to make in the first place.

Finally, I think that Stuntman Mike’s cars equal out due to the modifications, and I only provided one set of stats.Įdited 1 time(s). Stuntman Mike seemed to recover quickly from accidents and physical damage, hence the higher Endurance. While I felt that he was probably more agile than a normal person by far, I would say age was slowing him down a bit. I gave Stuntman Mike Crime and Detective due to the meticulous means he used to plan his crimes, how he understood law enforcement, and how he stalked his victims. Stuntman Mike will wait for an opportunity to strike, usually placing himself above reproach by not engaging in drinking or anything which might suggest his actions aren’t legitimate. Stuntman Mike tends to study his victims carefully, even interacting with them ahead of the scene. Stuntman Mike‘s Modus Operandi is to stalk a potential victim (or group of victims) for days before acting. Noticeable Scar: Mike is easily identified by his scar, which is nearly impossible to hide. When Stuntman Mike is confronted by someone on equal terms or someone who changes the planned action, he must make a Psyche FEAT to maintain composure. Stuntman Mike must make a Psyche FEAT to resist the urge to taunt his victims as part of his ritual.Ĭoward: While Stuntman Mike seems to be a cool customer, he’s actually a coward when the tables are turned on him. Serial Killer: Stuntman Mike is a serial murderer who enjoys bullying, tormenting, and ultimately killing women with his car. Stuntman Mike is a loner, although he does say he has a brother named Stuntman Bob. There are apparently no seatbelts for the passengers, while the driver has access to a stunt seatbelt harness. Both cars are also modified to provide full body protection to the drive, while only frame protection to the passenger. Protection: Gd (10) for Passengers, Ex (20) for Driver.īoth cars are heavily modified muscle cars with top of the line engines, reinforced frames, and roll-cages. Heavily Modified 1970 Chevy Nova (first car), 1969 Dodge Charger (second car)’īody: Ex (20) - Reinforced to survive collisions and wrecking. Popularity: 2 (As a stuntman in the industry) Either way, Stuntman Mike ranks up there. It’s maybe the fact we as the audience never know how many times Stuntman Mike had killed prior to the movie, or maybe we don’t want to know. Up until the reveal, he’s a cool customer who simply seems out of place/out of time, played by Kurt Russell which is always a plus. Well, we don’t see a lot of just normal human killers with charm and a gimmick, and that’s what I like about Stuntman Mike. Utilizing a combination of savvy, charm, and mechanical knowledge, Stuntman Mike first appears as a cool predator, choosing his targets carefully (until he picks the wrong one). The main antagonist in Death Proof, the serial murderer Stuntman Mike isn’t just your typical killer. But back in the all or nothing days, the Vanishing Point days, the Dirty Mary Crazy Larry days, the White Line Fever days, they had real cars crashing into real cars and real dumb people driving em. Well, nowadays unfortunately you're right more often than not.
