Death Race 2000

Get set for Death Race 2000, a lethal coast-to-coast, no-holds-barred orgy of fast cars and flattened bodies in mankind’s greatest sporting event ever. Drivers David Carradine, Sylvester Stallone, Roberta Collins, Martin Kove and cult movie icon Mary Woronov are putting the pedal to the metal, on the run to outmaneuver one another in Paul Bartel’s biting satire on America’s thirst for violence, as pitch black as it is blood red, beautifully shot by Tak Fujimoto (fresh off Malick’s Badlands), fine-tuned to optimum performance by ace editor Tina Hirsch, and gloriously well-deserved of its infamous Ebert zero-star review denouncing the film for being in “poor taste, unnecessarily gratuitous in both nudity and violence.” In our words, a classic!
