*Thursday, November 8, 2007 (Toronto, Canada)* -- The cornerstone of the 
Motorcycle /SUPERSHOW 2008's/ new *Living Legends* feature is none other 
than West Coast Choppers' *Grindhouse Chopper*. Built by Jesse James for 
the Quentin Tarantino / Robert Rodrigues double feature flick, the 
Grindhouse bike is now owned by Canadian Collector Konstantine Zakzanis. 
The bike is featured in Konstantine's "*West Coast Choppers Garage*" 
display, in the Hall 5 Choppers & Custom Bike Showcase, sponsored by J&P 
Cycles, *January 4, 5, 6, 2008* at the Toronto International Centre.

 

The Chopper was custom built by Jesse James & his crew for the movie 
*Planet Terror*, one half of the Grindhouse split bill. It was ridden in 
the movie by *Rose McGowan* whose character, Cherry Darling just happens 
to have an assault rifle/grenade launcher prosthesis for a leg.  Bruce 
Willis is also featured in this film, while the second movie, *Death 
Proof*, stars Kurt Russell. Both films have just been released on DVD, 
as well as a Special Double Set Edition.

 

Grindhouse recently won awards for Best Director (shared by Tarantino 
and Rodrigues), Most Memorable Mutilation scene and Best Scream-Play at 
the Spike TV SCREAM Awards in Los Angeles.
