- It's the maximum trip... at maximum speed.
- Tighten your seat belt. You never had a trip like this before.
- Watch carefully because everything happens fast. The chase. The desert. The shack. The girl. The roadblock. The end.
The Tarantino Connection
This film was a main influence on Death Proof in terms of direct references to the film made by the characters, the car chases and even features the same model white Dodge Challenger driven by Kowalski.
