A B-movie joy, though I notice the superbly funny scratches and jumps disappear in the second half (the real talent cannot remain hidden). In fact it must have been hard for Quent the cinematographer and Sally Menke to create the deliberately fucked up scenes and moments, such as a lap dance which abruptly concludes. It is extremely funny.
As I observed the first time (28/2/09) it is - quite surprisingly - a girls' picture with a most satisfying conclusion. The scenes with the girl on the car bonnet display absolutely amazing stunt work. There's even a reference to CGI in it, which the film clearly avoids. Also, many references to Vanishing Point.
The news that 87 year old Morricone had scored his latest - The Hateful Eight - is truly wonderful.
The girls are Zoe Bell, Rosario Dawson, Vanessa Ferlito, Sydney Poitier (not that one), Tracie Thoms, Rose McGowan, Jordan Ladd and Mary Elizabeth Winstead, and Kurt Russell is trying to kill them.
