Italian Vogue


Quote: Lee: "...Okay, but if anybody tears out any sheets I want, you gotta make color Xeroxes of those pages,..."

Back in 1977 everybody called copies "Xeroxes", because that name was synonymous with making photocopies, but by 2007 when Death Proof was made, Kurt Russell would probably be the only cast member old enough to remember that expression. All of the girls, including Lee, would have simply called it color copies.

Oh I wouldn't be so stock sure of that. :) I was on the edge of their depicted generation when this film came out, and I grew up calling them xeroxes as a little kid, back when that is what you called them in the '80s and '90s—that didn't really go away until the laser and inkjet all-in-one became affordable. Remember how they felt nostalgic about mix tapes, like that was a sweet thing to do? Well, that dates them, at least as middle school to teenagers when tapes were still what everyone listened to—and that puts them squarely in the middle of when copies were still commonly referred to xeroxes. Just because it started in the '70s doesn't mean it stopped then, too.

Yeah but in the first half when Rose McGowan (the dead blonde) is talking to Mike and he asks her how she thinks they do all the car stunts she says "CGI". That would put it at least post-Jurassic Park (1993).

Sometimes I say "Xerox" when I refer to making a copy and I'm only 22.

Guess what there was no "Red Bull" and no iPod in 1977 either.

In addition to the copier, Xerox came up with the mouse and windows too, which were stolen first by Apple and then from Apple by Microsoft, so Xerox deserves a lot of respect.

The phones they use set it as late 90s I think.
