LOVE LOVE LOVE this movie! If your a muscle car lover,hot chick lover,Tarantino movie lover, you must purchase this movie! Not to give it away but the part when Stunt Man Mike Rams the chicks car and they replay it over and over.... so you can see the damage done, OMG!!! love it. I own the sound track and it's sweet "riding" music! If your a bad @ss at heart or in true life, own it!
This movie doesn't live up to the Tarantino brand by any means, doesn't hold a candle to other films like Resevoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, or Jackie Brown. The dialogue, I'm sad to say, is not all that engaging, and that's what I'm really looking for in a Tarantino flick.
Tarantino does deliver on other trademarks, though, including getting a great performance from a washed up actor (Russell) and providing lots of laughs.
Then again, the movie is supposed to be completely cheesy, and it holds to that standard throughout, in a mildly entertaining way. And when it finally revs up, the payoff is phenomenal. I found myself laughing out loud several times during the action sequences, and at the end. All in all, it's a pretty entertaining movie, just check your brain at the door.
About the missing content, I really can't comment on it since I didn't see the original. I'd love to see it if it comes available, though. Maybe I'll check youtube.
A little backstory on why I even watched this film. My fiance was a fine arts/art history major in college and I was at a party with a mess of her friends after a gallery show of theirs. We got to talking about movies and this film came up, as it had just been released in the theaters. I stuck my foot in my mouth by making a snap judgement in from of a couple of artsy fartsys who would rather try to present this movie as a gift from god than the utter piece of garbage it is. They got on my case about it so I eventually borrowed it from a friend who likes a lot of movie's I think are completelly shallow and pointless(300...yes I said 300). Anyways, so I gave it a chance. Needless to say I do not regret jumping the gun on this movie as it is probably the dumbest idea for a film ever created, except perhaps anything done by the imbecilical Larry the Cable Guy.
There is nothing redeeming about this movie. There is no story, no plot worth mentioning, and the fact that anyone in Hollywood thought it was a good idea to give money to the director who found it genius to put an assualt rifle in a woman's leg is just a sign of the times as far as people's entertainment value goes. This film is POINTLESS, I'm sorry, it really is. I love Kill Bill Vol. 1&2, but enough is enough. Tarantino is one flew over the cuckoo's nest and deserves no praise for this terrible excuse for a film.
If you into thing's like Deathrace, Sin City, or the new punisher movie comign out that use cool filming techniques to take the focus off the poor subject matter, then you will like this movie.
If you are looking for something with an involving story, characters, and or anything that you might show your children because it is so thoguht provoking or relevant, then you need not look here folks.
