Binding: VHS Tape EAN: 9786304238097 Format: Color, Original recording reissued, NTSC ISBN: 6304238096 Label: New Concorde Languages: Manufacturer: New Concorde Number Of Items: 1 Publisher: New Concorde Release Date: November 15, 1996 Running Time: 78 minutes Studio: New Concorde Theatrical Release Date: April 27, 1975 Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Paul Bartel's 1975 cheap-o satire about a futuristic international sport--an anything-goes car race where drivers score points for hitting pedestrians--stars David Carradine as a hero behind the wheel and Sylvester Stallone as his nemesis. The film is clever and macabre enough as a modernist satire, but finally overplays its hand in grim, decadent humor. The sets are gloriously artificial, and former Warhol star Mary Woronov is in sexy, comic form. --Tom Keogh Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Wonderful bloodthirsty road movie This is a cheesy, exciting and entertaining B movie. It's fast paced and funny, with some fantastic jokes and very entertaining violence. Clearly a big influence on Mad Max, this one has a remake out but check out the original! Rating: - Great movie, definitely better than the 08 remakeA great movie. Definitely nothing more than a simple plot with lots of violence and car stunts. It goes outside the boundaries of what today would be considered politically correct, even for a movie, and that is what makes Deathrace 2000 great. Where else would you get to see "euthenasia day" at the hospital? I just wish the newer version was as ballsy. Rating: - Watched It In The Theater When It First Came Out and Still Love It!I remember convincing my dad to take me to this movie when it first came out telling him about all the "cool cars" that were in it. He almost flipped a lid when the first nude scene miraculously popped onto the screen. I remember him telling me not to say a word of it to my mother. Oh what fond memories that brings to the forefront of my memory. This is such a fun satirical movie that you can't help but like it. The one scene that always sticks in my mind as perhaps the ...

And how do I know? Dude, I can't like explain to you if you don't know. It just is. Why are these Roger Corman films so special and great even though and despite being obviously terrible? Well actually the Amazon review kind of sums it up pretty good. One thing I feel like remarking on is how the pointless, soulless, high budget remakes of classics ...

I've ridiculed many a Roger Corman film in my time, but I have nothing but love for his 1975 B-movie triumph Death Race 2000 (although, to be fair, most of the credit should go to director Paul Bartel). In this brilliant black comedy satire, Corman gives us what we want - fast cars, hot naked gals, and lots of glorified violence, not to mention brilliant performances by David Carradine and a pre-Rambo Sylvester Stallone - and all with a budget of only 300 grand. In this futuristic ... Read More |
