[edit] Title

At the begining of the extended edition, there's a title card with the title "DEATH PROOF" over the "real" title (rpobably a pun of how foreign films get their names changed), but I haven't had a chance to check it frame by frame, what does it say? I believe it's Rolling Thunder, but I can't remember as I've only seen it once.Vicco Lizcano (talk) 15:03, 18 January 2008 (UTC) ^{(Hey! Listen!)}

[edit] Arlene's death

"and Arlene's face is torn off by Mike's front wheels". The sound of motor makes it more like rear wheel to me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.207.94.230 (talk) 15:49, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Added to Kill Bill References

Right after the dialogue where the Bride says "and she took part in the assassination of 9 people... she should have made it 10" in Kill Bill, they're portraying the Viper Assassination Squad punching the Bride by turns, with Lucy Liu's character ending with a kick. This was repeated in Death Proof, against Stuntman Mike. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.217.40.52 (talk) 05:23, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Article status

I have cleaned up the articles for Planet Terror and Death Proof, deleted parts that were either unsourced or were not specific to each individual film, and have basically tried to rework each article into something respectful into each individual work and to try not to treat the films as a single work, as the article had previously done due to the fact that the articles were copied out of the Grindhouse (film) article, and not properly. Basically, the articles are now a lot better looking and more specific to each individual film. As the "missing reel" title card only appeared in the US "double feature" version of Death Proof did not appear in the non-double feature version of that film, the "missing reels" info only appears in the Grindhouse and Planet Terror articles. The information about the fake trailers only appears in the Grindhouse article, as the separated version of Planet Terror only contains the Machete trailer, and Death Proof does not feature any trailers. I have also added development information from the Grindhouse article to the Planet Terror and Death Proof articles. (Ibaranoff24 (talk) 15:40, 2 March 2008 (UTC))

[edit] Trivia Sections

The reverts I made were with respect to WP:TRIVIA. Those lists were nothing more than trivia. Some relevant, most not. If you want, include it into the body of the article, otherwise, it stays off the page. Tool2Die4 (talk) 18:07, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] More Trivia/Cultural References

Added a trivia entry regarding Nicky Katt's role as the convenience store clerk. The store he works in is called the Circle A. This is a very obvious reference to the 1996 film subUrbia, in which he starred, where a group of teenagers in the movie convene around a convenience store of the same name. I invite you to clean up my presentation of the fact, as I'm no english major. I'm sure someone can make it sound better. But because of how obvious this fact is, (possibly could be classified as a cultural reference), I feel it should be included.
