Maverick Records will release the soundtrack to Death
Proof — Quentin Tarantino’s half of the new exploitation
movie double feature Grindhouse — on April 3rd, three days
before the two films hit theaters on April 6th. The second
film, Planet Terror, was directed by Robert Rodriguez. In
between the two features, trailers advertising fake films,
directed by Eli Roth and Rob Zombie, among others, will be
shown.

Death Proof follows Austin's hottest DJ, Jungle Julia
(Sydney Tamiia Poitier) as she sets out into the night to
unwind with her two friends Shanna (Jordan Ladd) and
Arlene (Vanessa Ferlito). Covertly tracking their moves is
Stuntman Mike (Kurt Russell), a scarred rebel leering from
behind the wheel of his muscle car, revving just feet
away.

The soundtrack includes classic songs from the ’60s and
’70s, such as “Jeepster” from British glam rock band T
Rex, “Staggolee” from San Francisco blues band Pacific Gas
& Electric, “Down In Mexico” from doo-wop legends The
Coasters, and “Good Love, Bad Love” by Stax R&B legend
Eddie Floyd. It also features a haunting composition,
entitled “Paranoia Prima,” from legendary Italian film
score composer Ennio Morricone. The songs are interspersed
with dialogue voiced by the actors including Russell, Rose
McGowan, Eli Roth, and Michael Bacall.

The music perfectly captures the feel of the exploitation
films that became popular in American cinema in the late
’60s and ’70s. With their explicit sex and excessive
violence and gore, the films were mainly shown in
inner-city theaters, called “grindhouses,” usually as
back-to-back double features. “I grew up watching those
type of movies and I loved them,” Tarantino says in
Grindhouse: The Sleaze-Filled Saga of An Exploitation
Double Feature. “The whole grindhouse experience, where
you would see two horror films in these low ghetto
theaters. Robert and I had the idea to actually do this
film that is closer to a grindhouse ride and recreates the
experience in one movie and in the best possible version
ever presented.”
