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: - power of positive destructionEven though this movie is many years old, its popularity still is as strong as ever. Even the youth of today know this movie wit ever point game they play. What this movie shows is that change doesn't have to come from the enemy but it can arrive from the hero who wants it. Deathrace shows the love affair that we have for the auto and the great lengths we go to show it. If I could I would have every car shown in this movie built and given to the people who drove them just to say "Thank ... Read More Rating: - Cult ClassicsThe movie was very well done for its time. It seemed it was a very low budget movie but it proved that even with a low budget there can still be good movies. Havinf david carradine be the "hero" of the movie was very strange but also ver facsinating. I am surprised to see a movie that sylvester stallone actually dies. I wasnt going to say much, but this is my last thing. I am glad that they are making not so popular mpvie like Death Race 2000 into a UMD. That part is realy cool. Rating:  - A Wicked National Sport: Bodycount-Scores and Passion for Speed and Violence.This prophetic, humurous, and cynical abstraction of American car racing sports events combined with a taste of strong social critics and media satire, offers a surprisingly effective and well done mix of extreme violence, gore, sex, and dark comedy, all the most impressive given its modest budget. The very formula of a Cult classic film, "Death Race 2000" is the kind of bad B-movie that is so entertaining, we can't help to enjoy its weirdness and bad taste, chewing every delicious piece of this campy ...

Watched it with my 15yr old son who agreed even though the special effects were lame and the acting wasn't anybodys best,this is still a great movie with some very funny moments in it. Rating: - Death Race 2000 Movie for the year 2000At first, I picked up Death Race 2000 because it was crunch time at my corporate job and I wanted to watch a movie that I can relate to, and TNT was not showing it. Amazon came to the rescue and I found an inexpensive copy. I watched Death Race 2000 and was not the least disappointed. Sly Stallone is top notch in this film. David Carradine is solid too and really exemplifies the machine that can be created when man is molded by a corporation. Roger Corman gives me hope with his modest budget and ... Read More |
