Tony Wonderful B movie shot in the style and acting of cheap porn of that era. Then again some of this cast have history there. That said, this has some great humour and does play the 1984 political thread well. As for storyline think of this combined with Escape From New York another golden oldie. What's new in 2018, Death Race, Beyond Anarchy ???. They're so out of ideas they're digging up stories almost half a century old or copying comics. Seems to be a lack of original stories to tell.

Aleksandar Sarkic I really love 70's decade, it is full of interesting stuff, and it looks for me that in that period people were more open minded than now-days. Also in the 70's we had many interesting movies, one of them is definitely Death Race 2000. I have find out for this movie on IMDb, it was suggested on the page for Rollerball movie, i really love Rollerball it is more known movie that Death Race 2000, but i must admit i was more blown away with Death Race 2000. There are similarities between the two movies, both are happening in the future were everything is controlled and only entertainment for the masses are violent sport games. Here the center are racing cars, and for drivers the main goal is not just to win the race, it is to kill more innocent people on their way, more kills, more points, there are no emotions, just violent show for the masses. It must be shocking for the 70's still it looks very brutal, it is double violent than Rollerball for sure. It is also worth watching because of David Carradine in main role of enigmatic driver behind the mask "Frankenstein", great performance, also worth mentioning Sylvester Stallone as the main opponent of Frankenstein, and yes a lot of beautiful women in this one, just gorgeous natural looks, but the main reason to watch this movie is it's message, is the system guilt for raising violence and controlling our lives or we as human species love to be controlled and to do violence to others, think for yourself. This movie maybe looks outdated but if you are true movie lover and seeking answers watch this one. I give it 7.5/10.

sol- Set in the near future, this action comedy focuses on a televised automobile race in which drivers are rewarded for killing pedestrians while racing between the USA east and west coasts. Delightfully offbeat as this premise is, things get even more interesting as it is revealed that the race is government sanctioned and that the US President has used the race, preying on America's bloodlust, to boost popularity and win multiple elections in a wildly distorted, post-economic crisis political landscape. This is a film that can be enjoyed all social commentary aside though. The racecars are a wonder to behold, bearing teeth and horns to look animalistic, the action scenes are memorable and bits and pieces of the film are kooky in the best possible way: nurses wheeling out senior citizens to be run over in a euthanasia cleanse; resistance fighters sabotaging the races with fake tunnels, landmines and bombs disguised as babies (!). Lead actor David Carradine has a very interesting character too; nicknamed Frankenstein, he has supposedly undergone significant facial scarring and constant body part replacements as a result of all his crashes over the years, but this is soon revealed to be a rouse to dupe his supporters into believing him to be superhuman. The supporting performances are unfortunately wildly uneven and the film overstays its welcome by around five minutes with an inappropriate upbeat conclusion, but for the most part, it is an encapsulating ride throughout its economic eighty minute runtime. For a low budget project, it boasts some nifty futuristic sets too.

Danny Blankenship Finally after all these years watched the 1975 B movie cult classic "Death Race 2000" as I'm now watching and dissecting the films of independent and B movie king producer Roger Corman. And I must say this was a thrill a fun classic that entertains never a dull moment and the movie moves quick as it states it's plot and the message of winner seek all is compelling and entertaining! Anyway this picture was ahead of it's time as in 1975 it portrayed a futuristic year that being 2000 and the country is a mess with corrupt morals and politicians being yes men and always at unrest(really that turned out to be true and continues). The only big things in this society is that hit and run driving is a national sport an event that is three days across the country, as with this high speed contest is won by the driver who collects the most points by running over and killing people like pedestrians and spectators. And to challenge things are a group of anti-race activists trying to stop racing for good.The all-time champ is the win at all cost rebel Frankenstein(the late David Carradine in a good role)who's so smooth yet intimidating in a rubber black mask of latex(makes a viewer thank of sadism)and out of the group of race foes it's the young and hot "Machine Gun" Joe Viterbo(in one of Sly Stallone's very early roles)that presents the biggest threat to knock Frankenstein from the race throne. Also to spice this dark sci-fi action up is the appearance of many hot females as plenty of skin is shown as the guys even make cross country stops at massage parlors! Overall "Death Race 2000" is one nice little cult picture a B movie gem that as you watch it's a fine feel good time it has it all sex, action, death, and the challenge of a corrupt political state, true not everything did come true in 2000 still much of it would as these themes shown in 1975 would ring true for the year 2000 and beyond. Plus the work of the late Carradine is A okay and it was nice seeing Stallone in some B movie work just one year before his "Rocky" classic.
