- Quentin Tarantino is interviewed as part of the Death Proof DVD Extras. He gives his thoughts on meeting Mary Elizabeth Winstead. He expresses his astonishment at her acting and singing skills.
let's be honest. The only villain in sky high we all fell in love with.
the only villain we still remember tbh
Nods
No mystery there.
Thank you for confirming.
What are you even talking about?
she made me realise im a genius, so i cast her.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I know, he's so proud of himself
Well, he is a genius. Also creepy. Too bad, I'm sure he knows it.
@@klausrain111 I like his movies - most of them - but something about him just makes my skin crawl...
@@lukeclover3420 it's his 5head combined with the witch's nose/chin combo
I always thought she deserved to be a bigger star. Yeah she’s in a ton of movies and was one of the most iconic characters of the 00’s, but I always felt that she should’ve been at that Natalie Portman-Keira Knightly-Cameron Diaz level of stardom. She’s just got “it”.
She's too "independent" or should I say, not "obedient" for the Elites.
She's not woke enough.
@@springwoodslasher79 how???
Cameron Diaz is bad
@@springwoodslasher79 hey it's springwood slasher. He exclusively dates 23 year olds.
even if I was gay, I'd be straight for Mary Elizabeth Winstead
Ramona Flowers?
Yes please.
Her and Ryan Renolds of from Deadpool. I can't believe I forgot her name.🙄
You are gay
But you are. Look at your pfp
If
The most long-winded "its because of her feet"
Her acting is very good, but yes it’s the feet for him.
Actually wasn't that Rosario's feet...
LMAO 🤣
@@derryberry16 he still has to do a feet check tho
@@derryberry16 Stop injecting truth into the conversation.
I remember her in sky high
Oh yeah. The memories
Woah, I didn’t know that was her
Scott pilgrim vs the world
sky high yeah :D if you are watching "the expanse" lead guy was the emo "bad guy/best friend" in sky high
@@kaiosun holy shit!
Lee is one of the most underrated tarantino characters.she is so quirky and innocent.a sweet character.
We have to thank Mr Tarantino for letting us see Mary in a cheerleader outfit.
hell yeah.
She doesn't look to bad as Hera, either. Her tight fitting pants are the star of any scene she's in.
Man I had the biggest crush on her since I saw her in Sky High, watched everything she's in, other than Ahsoka
Man you said it!
@@jacksonsilva4409 she's the best. her role in The Thing is awesome and they couldn't have picked a better Ramona Flowers, tbh. she is so cute!
Tarantino: "How do I compliment someone else while actually making it a compliment about myself?"
I'd "marry" Elizabeth Winstead
instead
I see what you did there
@@BackwoodsFilmsI don’t get it
For me, she's got some kind of magnetic pull. She's gorgeous, talented and every part I've seen her play, she comes across as genuine, believable. I honestly don't understand why she's not a bigger star. I pay to watch any movie she's in and I'm guessing lots of other people would too. Even Quentin Tarantino's movies, of which I'm not a big fan of.
Probably didn't sleep with the right people.
Amen brother! She is all that!
"artistic crush", sure Quentin, SUUUUURRRE
Replace the first r with a u
"i really nai-... i mean , she really nailed the character"

Oh come on, he's a straight guy and she looks like that. Does he even need to say it?

‘Death Proof’ has certainly continued to rise in esteem and popularity. Always loved it.
That’s why its called Deathproof!
No it hasn't.
same here! to me its like the ultimate "chick flick" on speed. after all 90% of it doesnt feel like its an action/thriller at all, but a "girls night out" chatting about life, work, guys, and generally just bullshitting around- and then ten percent horror/bastard in the form of Kurt Russell. this is definitely one of my 'go to"movies for a hot , humid night with beers n bongs. always thought this film was hugely under rated but who cares? -everyone expects QT to be Reservoir Dogs/Pulp Fiction EVERY damn time, but whether you see it in the shorter or fuller format its a hellishly sexy fun time, and of course all the actors in this rock it. Shout out to Zoe Bell of course who gets her biggest, funnest Tarantino role (yet), as an unstoppable balls (vag) out, pedal to the metal Kiwi. Stunt Legend and hopefully will continue to be a Tarantino regular.
I liked Death Proof, but the one part I think Robert Rodriguez nailed but Quentin Tarantino botched: The missing reel. In Planet Terror it cuts from exposition to the building completely engulfed in flames. WTF happned?!!! But in Death Proof, it cuts from inside the bar to outside the bar. It seems we didn't miss anything much.
It's the only Tarantino movie I haven't seen yet.
He spent 5 minutes talking about MEW to hide the fact that he's just complimenting himself. "She made me realise how fucking great of a writer I am so I cast her"
Typical Tarantino cringe.
Why not? That's totally what I would do.
I think you missed the point. She brought the character alive past the point where he had thought it was developed. He was shocked at how good it turned out, and how much more he had created than even he knew. So what is wrong with saying all that? It's the whole point of the interview.
He's such a strange guy...
funny thing is that it wasn't much of a character. pretty cheerleader that didn't do shit
Actually got chills hearing her sing, and I've seen this movie atleast 20 times
Yeah M.E.W is the total package, good looking, nice acting skills, a genuinely good person, what else do you want'
Don't call her MEW, she is not a fucking pokémon
Good person? Pretty sure she cheated on her husband lol
Well since you asked..
Dude she's a homewrecker lol. Broke up McGregors 20 year marriage
A genuinely good marriage wrecker.
Saw her in this movie. Fell in love with her. Been following her career ever since. Bumped into one of my all time favourite movies (Scott Pilgrim vs the world), fell in love with her even more. :)
dude same here. I first watched Scott Pilgrim vs The world 2 weeks ago on saturday. That was when I first saw Mary Elizabeth Winstead in a film and it really left an impression on me. Brilliant film, brilliant actress.
I just watched her in "Kate" same, fell in love cueing all her movies now.
Alex of Venice(2014), she was really good in it
@@th-bc3hnfell for her in a Die Hard movie & totally fell for her in 10 Cloverfield Lane ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@th-bc3hnshe is amazing in Kate. total badass
I LOVE her! She was the best part of Fargo Season 3.
She was amazing. She managed to stand out in a season full of stellar performances from an ensemble cast. Sad a lot of people have been sleeping on Fargo as a series.
@@mudkips8399 Yes, agree. I've already watched Season 3 twice in two months, and I NEVER watch things twice. Mary Elizabeth still just blows my mind. Wonder what she's doing now.
Season 3 is the best part of Fargo.
@@theswampus670 Yeah it is, by far!
@@theswampus670 Season 2 is my favorite but 3 is very very close. Both masterpieces. Haven't finished 4 yet but I liked it so far, ep 4.
She's already gorgeous, and as a cheerleader? omg.
Totally unfair 😛
Gifted actress, singer, great personality and shockingly beautiful, thats Mary Elizabeth Winstead
The definition of Venus in human body. I still admire her till this day.
Just a total babe with an amazing personality!
Yeah. All that and Mary Liz looks smoking' hot as a cheerleader.
We all know the real reason he casted her wasn't because of her acting, and singing skills.... it was her skills on the casting couch.
@@batman4452 the only thing she did was remove her shoes
@josephthemighty The porn stereotype exists because it happens in Hollywood. It's an "open secret" in Hollywood that actors, even *CHILD* actors, are "scouted" for the casting couch in order to get those "career making" roles. Essentially, "you'll do what I want, or I'll tell others not to hire you." i.e. Harvey Weinstein, and the rest.
@@Dakarn but to be fair they are not forced to do it, casting couch etc,
@@Dakarn Just because it does happen doesn't mean you can chalk up any instance of casting to the casting couch. So unless someone has proof in an individual instance, it is nothing more than an empty claim.
The perfect girl next door. I melt when I look at those soulful brown eyes.
The cheerleading outfit didn't hurt either
That’s a weird way to describe Quintin. He probably wouldn’t tho, or he’ll get really mad. You never can tell
She's really gorgeous
She was soooo beautiful in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.
when mary went for casting she didn't wear her shoes.
Trentino: Yes
I think when he said he would hire someone off their "quirky attitude" it is just a code phrase for "good looking feet".
those weren't her feet
It's almost comical how he manages to turn any conversation or question about anyone into a conversation about him. There is no doubt in my mind that there is no bigger Quentin Tarantino fan, than Quentin Tarantino.
I agree with you, QT feels his flow the most, but like...it was a question about why he cast her in one of his movies so obviously he's going to discuss his thoughts and feelings about it
Watch clips of Conan O’Brien talking to guests on his show. It always turns into I and me.
@@yuvgotubekidding mhhh
@yuvgotubekidding I agree to a point, but a lot of times, it's because of Conan's comedic style of being self depreciating all the time..
@@kurtdewittphoto agree with this, I notice he does it mostly to make his guest feel better about a story they told of themselves being lame. and they usually seem to be put more at ease as well
Yes, I'm also in love with her "acting and singing skills" in this movie.
My favorite actress since the early 2000's. Never understood why she wasn't a superstar when she's better than half of those "big movie" actresses.
I did not realize she starting acting on tv as a teenager
Loved cloverfield lane and have enjoyed all her movies
Loved her in final destination 3, Scott pilgrim, sky high and this !
And Fargo series 3. 😍
This is her at her absolute prime!
And in the cheerleading outfit, *OMG!*
😍🥰😍
@Ale really? What zbout Kate movie?
@Ale If you need a woman to look 'juvenile' in order to find her attractive, you might want to carefully examine your preferences.
@Ale Not true at all. Women like handsome men every bit as much as men like attractive women. And the long, long list of 'older' women who are deemed attractive also proves your point to be incorrect. Stop listening to red pillers and incels. They're literally wrong about everything.
@Ale Again, you're wrong. It *is* a priority for women that the man she is with is physically attractive. The only people who aren't aware of that are unattractive men who believe red pill/incel bullshit. You're clearly one of them. As for all the shit about Oscars, careers, etc - women aren't attracted to that in men, either. Again, your fantasy, not reality. We like nice, handsome men. Simple. Careers, Oscars, etc etc - men and women should do those things for themselves, not in the hope it'll make people want to fuck them. Brad Pitt isn't as hot now as he was at 30; nobody is, as they age. That's just life. I'm willing to bet MEW is significantly more attractive right now than you ever have been - and you can call that a 'feminist' argument if you like mate - I don't use 'feminist' as an insult, given I'm not an incel.
@Ale peeedoo
I love this actress. She's great in all her roles.
And I love Tarantino, my favourite director of all time.
She's always been ridiculously beautiful and her acting has always been great. It was cool to see her star in a couple movies like 10 CLoverfield Lane. That shit was great.
Thought she was great in *"10 Cloverfield Lane."* Looked sexy hot in that cheerleader outfit in *"Death Proof."* Talented actress.
@PrezDaNT is GOD 卐卐 THE G.0.A.T She’s actually a good actress. And she can sing well. Should be considered ‘talented’ enough.
She even looked cute in that shower curtain HAZMAT suit she made in the bunker.
And she was Oscar-worthy in All About Nina.
I feel that movie is very underrated
@@DimiWyrmwood Very.
I love you Mary… ❤ She deserves a better place in Hollywood… Talented actress
she did her role just fine in the thing prequel
i fell in love with her in scott pilgrim and still find her so intoxicating, great actress!
Quentin also writes his scripts with Specific actors in mind, where as most movies get written THEN they cast it. But I think that's one of the reasons his stuff is SO GOOD! He writes parts specifically for actors he already has in mind rather than trying to find the right fit after the fact. "Character first Always!".
You mean with his kink in mind. Disgusting
Likes her so much that he only uses her in one movie
Dumb argument
@@G4meplayVids I mean he casts his favorite actors again and again so is it really
@@templesleeper27 because they befit the characters he writes
@@G4meplayVids And what character was Mary Elizabeth Winstead not ideal for? Not really a dumb opinion if you think about it.
@@perce1veALL none apparently? I don't know what goes on in Tarantino's mind so can't judge
It was this film that I fell for Mary Elizabeth. Wonderful actress,surprisingly good singer. I’m surprised she doesn’t sing in more films. I liked her in Birds Of Prey.
I feel like you had to like her before watching Birds of Prey because liking Robbie wasn't enough to make up for that garbage movie.
I've had a crush on her since sky high lmao. But she really is a fantastic actress. She blew me away in 10 Cloverfield Lane
The first time I saw her was in Die Hard 4.0. I have been in love with her ever since.
Saw her first on Die Hard too! Then had an even bigger crush on her in Scott Pilgrim
She's adorable and obviously really talented
I love Mary Elizabeth loved her in Death Proof and Fargo
Try Scott Pilgrim vs the world
She is so sexy in Fargo
@@marten3675 ive seen it loved it
I remember watching this movie when it went out and I immediately wanted to see more of her.
Been a huge fan of this actress!!
welcome back, we really missed you
This is not a bad film like a lot of people have been saying it is. It's just very specific he made the film for a very specific audience that being people like himself who grew up watching Grindhouse movies in the late 60's and early 70's.
i have a HUGE crush on Mary. besides being an awesome actress and beautiful, she has a great personality and she seems humble.
The "most replayed" part giving people away 😏
Holy crap, AHSOKA AND HERA!!!! Why didn't I recognize this immediately!?
Back when they still showed some emotion....
This movie is so genius. The concept alone of Stuntman Mike as a metaphor for old Hollywood is so interesting.
@ROMEO99 66OuttaTyme thanks so much i'll check it out!
@metube I mean, the movie is a lot more nuanced than "old Hollywood good". Stuntman Mike is the villain after all.
These are 1970s easter egg movies, or reboots of Original "grindhouse" films.
"Naked massacre" is where Mike came from. Try it out
Quentin said he never use metamphors. He hates it. He just writes cool stories.
@@johnnyskinwalker4095 Are you sure? This is the guy who wrote a whole monologue about how Madonna's Like a Virgin is a metaphor for big dicks. Also he's famous for his strange readings of movies like how he said Top Gun was about a man dealing with his own homosexuality and in Inglorious Basterds proposes that King Kong is a literary representation of American slave trade. So I'm not sure what he meant in that interview could you link me the clip?
I realised I liked girls when I first saw Mary Elizabeth Winstead in Death Proof as a teen
Hahaha yeah, cant blame you.
I realized I am actually not 100% gay after I saw her.
ps: winstead, obviously
🤮🤮🤮🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢(to infinity........)
I’ve been watching her since Passions she was Kay
ah yes, Quentin “now take your shoes off” Tarantino. Truly one of the greats we have today 💯
One of my first childhood crushes
Quentin?
I've been ga-ga about Mary Elizabeth Winstead since Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
Same
same
Sky High for me, I think
Tru Calling, then Die Hard 4.0 for me. And lately she's become much more of an ass-kicking heroine, and whiel I am sad she might get typecast, I'm blown away every time :D
I heart her...
And now Mary Elizabeth and Rosario are together again in Ahsoka. ♥
Yeap and they were amazing
I watched her new movie Kate and man she rocked it. Amazing performance.
The knowledge that she's a fantastic singer leaves me wishing she'd had a singing role in Scott Pilgrim, even if it wouldn't have fit the character
She's in a band called Got A Girl. Thank me later :D
DISCUSTING
She is a really quirky actress. There are some roles she's okay in and some roles she's brilliant for. Never been able to put my finger on it, but there's something about her that's just perfect for a certain type of character (although that is still a pretty wide range). I think it's just that her personality doesn't translate to iconic roles where she carries a film, but she's very interesting and likable in those roles that allow her to be bigger than a supporting character and show a bit of personality.
She has that Ellen Ripley energy.
Please don't say that certain character is the Scott Pilgrim one, because despite the fame I find thats easily her weakest role, she's just a pixie dream girl in Scott Pilgrim and doesnt get to act. I get it, a lot of guys were young and found her attractive, but its not a good role. She's brilliant in Fargo, loved her in 10 Cloverfield Lane. She's great to watch even when if u dont like the movie, like Birds of Prey or Kate. All About Nina is supposed to be good too. I think she's definitely outgrown these sort of roles, and I really enjoy Death Proof but every actress is given a meaty role except Mary, which is so strange since besides Rosario Dawson the other two (Zoe Bell and Sydney Poitier) never made much of a career afterwards. She's a lot better outside of superhero/action-star stuff, just more straightforward drama's where she can rely on her talents there, which is why she was so engaging to watch in Fargo.
@@enlightenedterrestrial YES! I was talking to a friend about who I would cast if they wanted to pick up the Alien story from the end of Cameron's Aliens (and chuck everything after), and Winstead came immediately to my mind for Ripley.
To the OP's point, she has an excellent screen presence. IMHO, anyway. Ever since Sky High, I've thought that she really draws the eye, very much like Weaver.
I loved her in Scott pilgrim and 10 Cloverfield lane. I think she was prefect for those roles.
I think that she's too humble and grounded of a person to play the leading role of some dumb blockbuster movie that would make a billion dollars worldwide. Unfortunately, those are the only types of movies that really make actors "superstars" nowadays. Dramas make a smaller and smaller amount of the total box office pot every single year. It's all about CGI f**kfests now.
I used to like Tarantino, then I realized, I, as the viewer, was the reason his movie was so good. Without me watching it, there could be no genius.
Best comment.
😂
Nice.
😂😂😂
I LOVE death proof. One of my favorite movies and certainly one of my top Tarantino movies.
i loved her as ramona flowers. saw death proof and had no idea it was her! She's pretty awesome
Shes a great actress and always steals the scene (in my opinion).
Mary Elizabeth Winstead is my dream girl come true 🤤 beautiful, talented and charismatic!
Third time I saw it, noticed the black and white switch. Love it.
I find it such a shame that this movie is so dogged in the Tarantino filmography...QT himself has all but disowned it, saying "[Death Proof] has got to be the worst film I make", even using the future tense like that to really establish it as some kind of low. I get why it sticks out, because of the fact that as opposed to just making a "Tarantino Film", he was specifically making it for 'Grindhouse', and so had to work it specifically into this 'Genre' frame in a way he didn't with his other works...but I love it! I even see a lot of the same things that people point out when criticizing it, but most of the time, those are the same thigs that I dig about it. For example, I recently watched "QT8", which was a documentary about the first 8 Tarantino movies, and Christoph Waltz was talking about watching this for the first time, and the scene where the first group of girls are driving around: "And they're talking, but not about anything important, that drives the plot forward...and they're talking, and driving...and it goes on, and on...and on...and I was just so...SMITTEN...that I thought, wow, nobody else could grab me in such a way while seemingly doing so little". And those sequences were, seemingly both critically and viewer-wise, some of the most slammed bits about the film, but I felt the same way. And then obviously, you have the extremely visceral moments as counterpoint, seeing Kurt Russell get back to his old, manic ways once again...I dunno, I realize I've been rambling for quite a while now, lol but...this movie has a special little nook for me.
The Hateful 8 is garbage. Death Proof is awesome.
@Brian Moore Yeah that's a good point, he could've separated it more. I still thought the dividing it in half like that was quite effective, though
Saw this in the movie theatre and was semi-blown away. Fun thriller meets the “hangout” genre. Makes me want to watch it tonight to see how it’s aged.
He liked it until it got slated. I think he grew so used to all of his movies being critically acclaimed smashes that once one of them wasn't he equated it's negative reception to it's quality. The whole Grindhouse concept, and execution, was as good as it was brave, every last bit of it. The industry worked against him and Rodriguez on that one, which had a lot to do with it's commercial failure.
Kurt Russell was excellent as the villian.
Authentic, eccentric auteurs, like Quentin Tarantino, are few and far between. What an awesome thing, to be a legend, when you're still alive. We should all be so lucky. And talented.
It's Royal Pain, run for your life!!
She was my first celebrity crush from the Final Destination movie she was in
I always forget how sleazy Tarantino really is and every single fricken time I watch one of his movies and the foot scenes come out I am reminded of it.
she look amazing with that cheerleader dress
MEW makes many of us gaga, many a day. She's a stone-cold fox, I think most will agree; but as well, she's an incredibly underrated actor. How she wasn't nominated for an Oscar for 'Smashed' still boggles my mind to this day.
The fact that Mary didn't receive at least one nomination for her performance in Smashed prove me that the Oscar is pathetic.
Well they lost a second shot at nominating her for All about Nina.
I love planet terror and death proof I remember being a kid seeing it in theaters glad I grew up watching this
Just watched Kate the other night and had a blast. She's great.
I’ve loved her ever since Sky High
Mary Elizabeth Winstead's quite talented and versatile. Saw her in Death Proof, BrainDead, one of the Die Hard movies and Birds of Prey (Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn).
... braindead? As in Peter Jackson's Braindead?! There's another one?!
@@interdimensionalsteve8172 No. Peter Jackson's Braindead (1992) was a zombie comedy movie. BrainDead (2015) is a TV series in the political satire, science fiction, comedy-drama genre starring Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Tony Shalhoub. Ans, spellings are different. The Tv series was cancelled after one season even though it was received well by critics and fans.
You made a great choice, Quentin! And I'm glad you got to live your dream of working with him, Mary!
This woman knocks my socks off
So...why did her character get left alone with a creepy guy who thought she was a porn star while all her friends got a badass fight scene?
That scene made me feel weird you cause you know what he did to her or there should of been a scene where they cut back and like kicked he's ass or something
Are you suggesting that if he didn't like an actor he'd give them a "bad" scene?
Because that's what the way the script was written.
because of all that he said, she was different from his other characters that is why she didn't get involved in the usual Tarantino shenanigans, she was there to contrast with the other characters
For real, that made me so mad how they left her there
"Quirky" sounds so much like Doug De.
She is truly stunning.
You made a great choice with her, Quentin. And I'm so glad you got to live your dream of working with him, Mary!
That's because she is simply epic at minimalist acting; see her screen test for Scott Pilgrim, she has an amazing relationship with the camera in 5 seconds, honest truth.
She’s a good actress, she just got bad luck to only be casted for a pretty face. Kinda like Emma Watson. I’d say Mary could have been as successful as Natalie Portman or Margot Robbie, but she only got some minor castings in her peak back to the 2000’s
My favorite female actor, great in gloverfield, even better in season 3 of fargo, absolutely phenomenal performance. Seriously highly recommend it series 1to 3, not seen 4
She is so beautiful and cute at the same time.
Stunning in this movie…she killed it!!
Quentin is so polite, when he looks from the interviewer to the camera, he still keeps one eye on each of them.
I fell in love with Mary Elizabeth Winstead watching "Brain Dead". She made the show!
Yeah loved that series
just watched 'Kate" (great film, great performance), and then discovered that Mary has been in a band called Got a Girl with Dan Nakamura since 2012
The "most replayed" curve gave me a chuckle.
So I searched Google for this actress today, because I just saw the movie "Kate", and now it shows up in my suggested. I see what you did there, TH-cam.
Sweet buttery Jesus! I did not realize that was her. I fucking love this movie, especially since it revolves around the Dodge Challenger and the film Vanishing Point.
The "Kiwi" is my crush though.
I'm glad this movie is being reevaluated these days
She's so awesome
She was amazing in Fargo Season 2 & The Thing i love her she's fine as hell and a incredible actress.
I first watched MEW in Final destination 3 and i gotta admit she's a good actress
Tarantino during the audition. “So Mary, that was amazing and I think we want to give you the role. One thing real quick, can I see your feet?”
those weren't her feet in the car
@@dontfearthereaper2887 It’s a joke lol
@@CrazyDiamond75 but you thought of that joke cause of the car scene, am I wrong?
@@dontfearthereaper2887 I thought of the joke because Tarantino has a thing for feet. It’s been years since I’ve seen Death Proof.

She's also on Dan The Automaters albums. They collabed aswell
