 In the uncut European version of _Death Proof (2007)_ (qv), there is  a scene where Stuntman Mike feels Abernathys feet while she is  asleep in the car and Lee isnt paying attention. When she wakes up  from it, he pretends he just touched them by accident as he was  walking by going to his car. Later when he attacks the girls driving  the challenger, this explains how Abernathy is the only person who  recognizes him from earlier.
