Death proof isn't the best soundtrack to a Tarantino film but it...'s ok.

I also love Down in Mexico. Also,... the conversation about playing Ship's Mast made it to the disc. Equal to the Kill Bill soundtrack.
Yeah, all the good music of the film -- 2 ...tracks over all: the fantastic "Chick Habit" and "Down in Mexico" -- but, in front of other Tarantino's film soundtrack, very poor of film's dialogues. I don't understand why! Infact the dialogues in Death Proof are so cool... An example: do you know the end of the part I of the film, when Jungle Julia speak about Dee/Dozy/Beaky/Mick & Tich's "Hold Tight"? So, one will think that in the soundtrack this track would be introduced by its dialogue, it would be natural: NO! In the end, there is only three dialogues from the film, and not so special. That's so disappointing.
If you like Tarantino you will like this. Tara...ntino has a way of drawing you into the story and holding you there waiting for it. Quite often I felt like a fish being played on a reel. Suspense, sexual tension, mood - it's all here. Fantastic soundtrack if you like quirky music with a blues and rock flavour. Tarantino has a way with dialogue that is fascinating and part of the draw. Kurt Russell does a great job with "Stuntman Mike" and while he seems menacing enough in the beginning, it's like watching a different character in the second half of the film. The disappointing thing about this movie was 'it' is difficult to figure out. There are several loose ends in this flick. We never find out the reason for "Stuntman Mike's" behaviour. We never find out why he chose those girls. We dont know the reason for the boyfriends in the flick. But for overall entertainment and just plain Tarantino-esque type lunacy and gore, I thought it was a good flick.
