Movies that feel likeDeath Proof (2007)

Austin's hottest DJ, Jungle Julia, sets out into the night to unwind with her two friends Shanna and Arlene. Covertly tracking their moves is Stuntman Mike, a scarred rebel leering from behind the wheel of his muscle car, revving just feet away.

If you loved Death Proof, the closest films we have are Pusher 3 (2005), War (2019) and Live Free or Die Hard (2007). All three share Death Proof's kinetic and tense feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is The Man from Nowhere (2010).
