Default Challenger Friendly Movie

Quintin Tarantino's collaborative effort with a number of other directors is a pretty darn entertaining 70's B movies spoofing double feature. Truth is, the two films, Planet Terror and Death Proof are way over the top with outlandish plot lines but you just gotta love babes with REAL breasts, men with REAL chest hair and a gorgeous bomb shell with a REAL M-16 prosthetic leg (complete with grenade launcher!!) But the Pièce de résistance is the Vanishing Point tribute car chase scene that begins about halfway through Death Proof. I wouldn't be surprise if Tarantino isn't on this forum because the guy is obviously a MOPAR fan. Hey Tarantino, one thing. Tell your writers that the proper way to say talk about the Challenger is to say, "1970 Dodge Challenger with a 440 wedge motor", or "Wedge Big Block". But never say "...with 440 engine." Just doesn't convey the same bad-ass image required. Oh yeah, one more word of advice. HEMI!

This is a must see movie for any MOPAR-rotsy, man, woman, child...over age 40
