Powers and Abilities
It is presumed that Stuntman Mike has all the qualities and skills of the average professional Hollywood stuntman.
History
You can refer to, say, the IMDB .
The story for Death Proof developed from Quentin Tarantino’s fascination for the way stuntmen would “death-proof” their cars. As long as they were driving, stuntmen could slam their cars headfirst into a brick wall at 60 miles per hour and survive.
This inspired Tarantino to create a slasher film featuring a deranged stuntman who stalks and murders sexy young women with his “death-proof”.
Quotes
Stuntman Mike: “Well, Pam… Which way you going, left or right ?”
Pam: “Right !”
Stuntman Mike: “Oh, that’s too bad…”
Pam: “Why ?”
Stuntman Mike: “Because it was a 50/50 shot on whether you’d be going left or right. You see we’re both going left. You could have just as easily been going left, too. And if that was the case… It would have been a while before you started getting scared. But since you’re going the other way, I’m afraid you’re gonna have to start getting scared… immediately !”
