Described by writer/director Quentin Tarantino as a "Slasher film at 200 miles an hour" Death Proof was originally paired up with Robert Rodriguez' Planet Terror and released as a double feature called Grindhouse. Coupled with fake genre trailers Grindhouse gave audiences a movie experience that is now pretty much extinct. For the foreign market and home video in the states the films were split up and extended. It is this version of Death Proof that I will be referencing here.
The second half of Death Proof follows a group of girls as they test drive a car not only because it looks like the one from "Vanishing Point" but because they also want to perform a crazy stunt with it. Around the 1hr 32 minute mark, during the early moments of the high-speed test drive, Abernathy (Rosario Dawson) looks worried but in an instant her expression changes from concern to that of child-like joy.
