It's going to be a wild ride

Three friends, Arlene, Shanna and radio DJ Julia Lucai, known as "Jungle" Julia, are driving along Congress Avenue in Austin, Texas, on their way to celebrate Julia's birthday. Before they arrive, the group stops at a bar, where Julia reveals a surprise she has arranged over the airwaves. She announced on the radio a free erotic dance from Arlene in exchange for three conditions: that they call her Butterfly, that they buy her a drink, and that a passage from the poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" be recited. Among the customers is Mike, a veteran Hollywood stuntman who has followed the girls there and claims that dance for himself. The film is written and directed by Quentin Tarantino, and Kurt Russell plays Mike.

Trivia about Death Proof

Zoë Bell, Uma Thurman's stunt double in Kill Bill, landed her first acting role in this film, which Tarantino wrote for her after being impressed by her.
Tarantino tried to cast John Travolta, Denzel Washington, Willem Dafoe and other actors, but none of them could take part due to prior commitments. He finally chose Kurt Russell.
Eli Roth flew in from Europe, where she was shooting Hostel: Part II, to film her scenes, which took only one day.
An extended 127-minute version competed for the Palme d'Or at the 60th Cannes Film Festival.
