10 Quentin Tarantino Characters Who Deserve Their Own Movie
5. Stuntman Mike (Kurt Russell) - Grindhouse/Deathproof
You know how people say, In my book, youre no good! Well, Stuntman Mike actually has a book, full of the names of the young women hes stalked and killed. Claiming to have been a stunt performer on TV shows nobody remembers, Mike drives a matte black 1971 Chevrolet Nova SS 396 he claims is 100% Death Proof if youre in the drivers seat. If youre riding shotgun, youll slam your head against the windshield when he hits the brakes, then hell do whatever he pleases with your body. Or maybe hell force you into a game of chicken late one night, when youre too busy grooving to Hold Tight by Dave Dee, Dozy Beaky, Mick and Tich to notice the car heading towards you with its headlights off. Even at a combined speed of 200mph, Mike survives to taunt another group of comely females.
