10 Deleted Scenes Cut From Quentin Tarantino Movies

Death Proof may be near-universally accepted as Tarantino's worst movie, but it's still an entertaining exploitation yarn, largely thanks to the efforts of Kurt Russell as serial killer Stuntman Mike.

Mid-way through the film, Mike memorably kills five women with his "Death Proof" car, after which Texas Ranger Earl McGraw (the late, great Michael Parks) speculates that Mike's motivation may have been sexual in nature.

To quote McGraw, it's "Probably the only way that diabolical degenerate can shoot his goo."

This theory was confirmed in a deleted scene which occurs in the direct aftermath of the crash, as Mike is laying in the wreckage of his overturned car.

At that point, Mike begins masturbating to the sight of the dead women, yet despite being firmly in the exploitative vein of the movie, Tarantino ultimately decided to cut it.
