We used to be a real country. Also fuck the police. I like this more than Two Lane Blacktop I think but it’s not perfect very fun road movie though

"...in honour of the last American hero to whom speed means freedom of the soul."
Now I can watch Death Proof and understand the references. It's a entertaining movie with a lot of amazing sequences and good image. I loved the musicalization. The ending is beautiful and changed my hole perception of the film. I understand why some people might not like this tho.
