Death Proof
On the editing of "Death Proof", Tarantino stated, "There is half-an-hour's difference between my "Death Proof" and what is playing in "Grindhouse". […] I was like a brutish American exploitation distributor who cut the movie down almost to the point of incoherence. I cut it down to the bone and took all the fat off it to see if it could still exist, and it worked." An extended, 127-minute version of "Death Proof" was screened in competition for the Palme d'Or at the 60th Cannes Film Festival. Tarantino is quoted as saying, "It works great as a double feature, but I'm just as excited if not more excited about actually having the world see "Death Proof" unfiltered. […] It will be the first time everyone sees "Death Proof" by itself, including me."
