Death Proof is a 2007 film written and directed by Quentin Tarantino, about a psychopathic stunt man who targets young women, murdering them with his "death proof" stunt car. The film, a tribute to the slasher film/serial killer genre, stars Kurt Russell, Rosario Dawson, Vanessa Ferlito, Jordan Ladd, Sydney Poitier, Tracie Thoms, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Zoë Bell and Rose McGowan. Death Proof was released theatrically in the United States as part of a double feature with Robert Rodriguez's Planet Terror under the title Grindhouse in order to replicate the experience of viewing exploitation films in a "grindhouse" theater.

Grindhouse was released on April 6, 2007. Ticket sales performed significantly below box office analysts' expectations despite strong reviews. In much of the rest of the world, each feature was released separately, with Death Proof screened in an extended version. Two soundtracks were also released for the features and include music and audio snippets from the film. Death Proof was released separately on DVD in the United States on September 18 2007.
