History and Development
The idea came to Grindhouse Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino when Tarantino brought home his posters and tapes of films d'exploitation, complete with trailers before and during the screening. During one of evenings spent to see these films, Rodriguez pointed to Tarantino that he had the same poster Dragstrip Girl and Rock all night and thus the passion for so-called "double spectacles" was common. Rodriguez asked Tarantino, "I always wanted to do a double show. Hey, why you do not you direct one and I the other?" and Tarantino quickly replied "I'm, we'll call him 'Grindhouse'" . The film's title comes from the American term used to indicate the cinemas showing films of all kinds of exploitation: kung fu movies (especially those of the Shaw Scope), splatter, slasher, horror, thrillers, sexploitation, films on "Nice guy", blaxploitation, spaghetti westerns and all those kinds of films made in the seventies. According to Rodriguez, "The posters are much more beautiful than the movie, but we are trying to do something that goes hand in hand with the poster" . A Rodriguez came up with the idea of \u200b\u200bPlanet Terror during post-production of The Faculty . "I remember that I said to Elijah Wood and Josh Hartnett, all these young actors, that zombie movies were - seems almost a joke - 'dead' and that we have not seen for a while, but I rather think they would return in large numbers because they were gone too long .. " - said Rodriguez - ".. I said," we must be the first, "I had a script that I started writing. Was about 30 pages, and told them "these are characters you can play all." We were all excited, but then I did not know what to do. The introduction was almost 30 pages long, but decided to apply to other projects, in the face had the expression 'Ah! I know I've made my zombie movie! "" . The story was recovered when Tarantino and Rodriguez developed the idea for Grindhouse .
As it took shape Planet Terror, Tarantino developed the plot of Death Proof , based on the fact that he was fascinated by way in which the stuntman possessed - in the film - a self-proof of death. " As might be little to drive, could slam their cars into a spin into a wall at 120 km / h and survive. This inspired Tarantino to create a slasher about a retired stuntman begins to follow and kill young girls and sensual with his car on "Death Proof". Tarantino remembers, "I realized that I could not make a simple slasher, because with the exception of women-in-prison films, there is no other more rigid the slasher. And if you try to change the rules, the film loses its consistency. It would be inorganic, so I knew I had to take the structure of a slasher and do whatever I wanted. The My version is this: looks like a slasher, but only according to you ".
According to Rodriguez, " Tarantino had an idea and a complete view of [the film] just as soon as the two began to talk about it. He began to talk about the story, saying 'There's this car in a death-proof'. I said, then why not just call it 'Death Proof'? I helped him to name it after ". With regard to car chases, Tarantino stated that on the CGI for car stunts does not make me any effect. Should it? I do not think there was a single car chase worthy of note since I started my career in 1992. For me, the last real car chase that was Terminator 2. And Final Destination 2 is a car really fast-paced piece. But only in these two films, in no other. The reason is this: in the modern action movie, every time the scene goes well, there are twelve cameras ready to return from twelve different angles, but I do not feel. In my opinion, the only show worth mentioning is the action. If he has a shot or twelve does not matter, the important thing is to make the adrenaline moment ".
