Plot
In 1976, mercenary David Hui Kan-Chau travels through the abandoned mining town of Blackpool (黑池 hak1 ci4). Armed with his newly-acquired Gravity Gun and an assortment of weapons, Hui traverses the desolate, zombie and headcrab-infested town, all-the-while utilizing bizarre traps. While fighting off hordes of zombies and headcrabs, Hui meets the last known human occupant of Blackpool, Giovanni Colombo. Colombo provides some assistance and advice to the latter, such as arming him with a shotgun and eventually leading him to an abandoned mine to escape the town.

Two days later, three friends, Glenda Chan, Nicole Lai and Judy Poon, drive down to Commonwealth Avenue, a fictional place in Las Vegas, Nevada, on their way to celebrate Judy's birthday. In a bar, Judy reveals that she made a radio announcement offering a free lap dance from Glenda in return for addressing her as "Butterfly," buying her a drink, and reciting a segment of the poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening." David Hui trails the women to a bar and claims the lap dance. He notes that Judy is on billboards across town, and she is cold towards him. He returns to sit with the group and recites the line to Glenda. She is suspicious, having seen Hui's car earlier that day watching her outside a restaurant, but he convinces her to give him the lap dance.

The women prepare to depart with Gwen Cheng, another friend, to Nicole's family lake house. Helen Kwan, Judy's old classmate, is in need of a ride home and accepts Hui's offer. Hui takes Kwan to his Hollywood stunt car, which is rigged with a roll cage, and tells her the car is "death proof.” Once Kwan is in the passenger seat, he reveals it is only death proof for the driver. He speeds and slams on the brakes, smashing Kwan's skull on the dashboard, killing her. He catches up with the women's car and drives into it at high speed, killing them. Hui survives with no serious injury. Sheriff Henry Howard believes that Hui killed the women intentionally, but because Hui was sober while the women were intoxicated, he cannot be charged.

Fourteen months later, three young women — hair and makeup artist Irma Siu, stuntwoman Kim Young-ja, and up-and-coming actress Amber Lee — are driving through Lebanon, Tennessee, where they are shooting a film together. They stop at a convenience store, where Hui watches them from his car. The women are en route to pick up Siu and Kim's friend,, from the airport while Hui inconspicuously photographs them. Shiu tells them that she wants to test-drive a 1970 Dodge Challenger, the same type of car from the 1971 film, that is for sale nearby. The owner lets them test-drive it unsupervised after Siu tells him that Lee is a former porn star and will stay behind.

Shiu tells Siu and Kim that she wants to play a game they call "Zatch's Mast,” whereby she rides the hood holding belts fastened to the car while Kim drives at high speeds. Kim is hesitant, but agrees. The three enjoy the stunt, unaware that Hui is watching them. He rear-ends them in his car, causing Shiu to accidentally drop one of the belts. After several more collisions, he T-bones them, throwing Shiu from the hood. Kim shoots Hui's left shoulder, and he flees in his car. Siu and Kim cry over the loss of their friend, until Shiu emerges uninjured. The three agree to catch up to Hui and kill him.

Hui has stopped on a narrow road to treat his wound with whiskey. The women rear-end him at a high speed. Shiu gets out and beats him with a pipe, but he resists and drives off again. After a long chase, the women push Hui's car off the road. They drag him from the wreckage and beat him to death.
