Quentin Tarantino salutes the cheap’n’tacky exploitation flicks of the 70s with a deliberately scratchy, patchy thriller, juiced up from his half of the ill-fated Grindhouse project. Kurt Russell stars as Stuntman Mike, a grizzled psycho who loves to terrorise young women in his snarling, customised road beast. But the joyride’s no fun when his latest victims turn out to be Hell’s angels on wheels. Faster, pussycats, kill, kill!
