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 This movie maybe looks outdated but if you are true movie lover and seeking answers watch this one.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.

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.

In a fascist dystopia future, five racers; Calamity Jane, Matilda the Hun, Nero the Hero, Machine Gun Joe Viterbo (Sylvester Stallone) and Frankenstein (David Carradine) travel across the country to win the TransContinental Roadrace. Running over people scores the racers points. Annie Smith is Frankenstein's navigator and possibly plans to kill him as part of an anti-race resistance.It's a campy cult classic. This world is outrageous and silly. However it's a one-joke world and not that funny. It may be a good drinking game. There is no doubt of the movie's camp credentials. It isn't anything more than that.

Death Race 2000The one thing to look forward to in a dystopian society is the live broadcast of the annual human blood sport.Thankfully, this post-apocalyptic action movie has full coverage.In the year 2000, a band of rebels plot to usurp the omnipotent Mr. President (Sandy McCallum) by sabotaging a state sanctioned death race across country in which racers garner points by running over pedestriansWhile their efforts work on lesser racers like Machine-Gun Joe (Sylvester Stallone), Nero the Hero (Martin Kove) and Matilda the Hun (Roberta Collins), it fails when it comes to the mysterious wheelman Frankenstein (David Carradine).Produced by B-Movie schlockmeister Roger Corman, this 1975 adaptation of an obscure fantasy novel was and is still ahead of its time in terms of apocalyptic parables - but not so much in the over-the-top acting or trashy special effects.Incidentally, if a points system were instated, hit-and-run drivers would come forward.Yellow Lightvidiotreviews.blogspot.ca
