For me the problem with Death Proof as a 'Grindhouse' film is that for what actually happens plot wise, at over two hours it's far too long.
Planet Terror at 106 minutes is about the max length you can go to for a film on a double bill. At least PT is eventful, all i recall from the two times i saw Death Proof was a lot of talk in a bar / diner and a well staged car chase with Zoe Bell clinging to the bonnet.
