Real life stunt woman Zoe Bell plays herself in this grind-house inspired road-rage slasher. Up against Stuntman Mike (played by a delightfully smarmy and unhinged Kurt Russell), Zoe and her car full of girlfriends must defend themselves in a high speed chase against Mike's trick car, doctored to cause maximum damage. 2007, Quentin Tarantino, USA, 114 mins. In English. Format: Digital. Part of the "Vroom, Screech" series (July 31–August 27, 2026) celebrating and complicating the car chase with iconic automotive set-pieces and impressive stunt work.
