99. Death Proof – 2007
“Stuntman Mike Kills Pam”
To call Death Proof a slow burn is an understatement. Quentin Tarantino focuses the vast majority of his film on dialogue and set-up, introducing Stuntman Mike (Kurt Russell) as a creepy and dastardly character but not quite keying you into the fact that he is the villain. When he offers Pam (Rose McGowan) a ride home, things go south as Mike lets her know in advance that she is going to die. The sheer terror on her face is easily felt by the films audience who doesn’t know where this ride is going to take her. Mike bounces her around recklessly for a while before reminding her the car is indeed death proof…as long as you’re the driver. He slams on the brakes going around 100 MPH and bashes her face in with the glove box. Effective, simple and it’s followed up by an even more badass crash a few minutes later.
