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:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - movie dvd
great condition, communication, all that we expected and more. highly recommend. thank you!!!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - 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: 4 out of 5 stars - Great movie, definitely better than the 08 remake
A 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: 5 out of 5 stars - 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 most hilarious of the entire movie is when a bunch of doctors and nurses take a bunch of sick and elderly people and put them in the middle of the road prior to the racers arrival in order to help their favorite driver score some much needed points. They then hide in a driveway off to the side of the ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - DEATH RACE 2000
There is only one DEATH RACE. The greatest B movie of all time? Hmmmm... perhaps. I know this - it is better than the remake that I haven't seen. Why? 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 like DEATH RACE or DAY OF THE DEAD seem to always leave out the political or social commentary of the originals. Sign of the times I suppose. What a lame drag it is. Better special effects, less interesting, less entertaining movie.
