Kurt Russell: Oh sure. I went to double features all the time and I was also interviewing for them because I was an actor. I do remember we used to sit around the room and sort of look at each other and say how did he get this part, are you actually going to play it? We look at each other and say "Man, I really need the work. I have to put food on the table.” "What about that scene where you're eating the rat?” "Hey, man, I don't even know how they're going to do that but I'll worry about it when it happens.” I never had to cross the bridge. I never really did anything that qualified for that world so I’d just go watch them. It was a lot of fun.
Kurt Russell: Well, the one that qualifies I guess for me was Vanishing Point. I always thought that Vanishing Point was on the existential level really cool in that world and I kind of liked Death Proof in that regard. Death Proof has that kind of sort of just off thing. It's just off. It has sort of spectacular moments.
Kurt Russell: Quentin goes ‘look, look, look, look!’ ‘What?’ ‘Look, look on the wall.’ I'm looking on the wall, ‘what Quentin?’ And everybody's standing around and I said ‘wait a minute. What is that? Is that my shirt? And I said ‘it looks vaguely familiar.’ I didn't want to burst the bubble, but after a while I said ‘oh yeah, that's great!’ He's crazy for that stuff.
Kurt Russell: They were fabulous and I liked the kid Zoë because Zoë, of course, was the real stunt girl there. She's the only one who hit me. [Laughs] They were great. They did a phenomenal job. I've done lots of those scenes with way less punches than that and been hit way more. They were fantastic.
Kurt Russell: I never know about anything. I was in Tahiti eating pineapples and hear Tarantino wants you to do...what, that sounds interesting. I'll be back in a week.
"Grindhouse” opens in theaters on April 6th. I invite you to read my interviews with the two directors, Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez, and the rest of the cast.
