Thread: Death Race ... 2000!

  1. Death Race ... 2000!

    I know someone here other than myself has seen this movie.

    The Synopsis: Killing people isn't murder in the future, it's the national sport. Every year the American Federation (or whatever) holds a transcontinental race. Racers try to get to New Los Angeles first while racking up the most "points" by running civilians over with their cars.


    The Review: One of the worst movies of all time. The announcer gives you the urge to strangle anyone sitting next to you. The story is hilarious...ly bad. The acting is super B.

    And I love it.


    This movie really introduced me to my fondness for bad movies. It's so laughable and easy to make fun of. A time well spent if you like such flicks.
    bastard of the new world order.

  2. Yeah it's a horribly good movie. One of Stallone's earliest and another shoddy job by Carradine. One of those so-bad-it's-good movies. I loved it so much I bought it.

    SC

  3. Also notable for being the semi- to full inspiration for a game, of the same name over which a huge stink was made.

    If I'm not mistaken it was the first game ever to be 'banned' and certainly one of the most controversial for it's time.

    It's premise was similar, you drove around a track and killed pedestrians.

    The best part was it was essentially one block running over other blocks accompanied by a digitized scream.

    Ah, how far we've come.

  4. Is this the tape you get when you purchase a hot wheel toy?



  5. Death Race 2000 is an awesome movie. The part where Machinegun Joe Verturbo (Stallone) spears a road worker through the crotch with the giant bayonet mounted on the hood of his car is a defining moment in modern cinema.

    Also of note is when he spins out his rear tire on the ass of a fisherman.

    They bayonet rocks. It's so... stupid looking. I love it. And when he machine guns the audience. Classic.

  7. I love this movie... In fact I own it. Pure classic B movie cheese. Gotta love Roger Corman productions.
    You sir, are a hideous hermaphroditical character which has neither the force and firmness of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman.

  8. Yeah, I own the DVD too. Was this movie originally filmed in fullscreen format, like it is on the DVD, or widescreen? The picture doesn't seem like it was cropped at all...

  9. I'm not sure... but since it was Corman I wouldn't be surprised if it was originally Full Screen
