Death Race 2000

Summary: Great movie, *AWFUL* DVD
Review: Whoever did the transfer of this edition should be forced to watch it over and over without possibility of parole. The picture is "ghost"-ridden and, in some places, looks overexposed. Toward the end of the movie, the sound loses synchronization with the picture. Avoid this edition at all costs. It's bad enough to make you want to give up DVD as a medium.

Summary: Carmaggedon the movie.
Review: Yes a movie so cultish that a video game was based on the themes and car designs. I'm talking about Carmaggedon 1,2 and 3. Movies that causes such creations are truly magical. If you are a fan of the Carmageddon series this is must see movie for you. Yes at times the movie can be chessy but thats what makes it a classic. No its not a Blade Runner style setting but the plot line seems that way dealing with population control by supporting a race to kill citizens. Thats what the people in Soylent Green should have thought up instead of eating the people or they could of just ran the people over in this race and eat them. It seems the movies of the 70s spent alot of time with the concept of over population, the anarchy of youth gone wild against social justice (Clockwork Orange). Oh well do you a favor and buy this movie and then buy Carmageddon for the full effect.

Summary: From Drive-In to DVD, it's still a blast
Review: Yes, I actually saw this at the Starlite drive-in many moons ago. It's still a great flick, and part of the US culture. Points for running people over. The Hand-Grenade. Tricked out vettes. Stalone's over-the-top role. Carradine's vulcan-like emotionless "Frankenstein." Some of the best Run 'em down humor on film.

Memorable lines like "I've got pictures of you in my outhouse!!!" are peppered throughout. The stereotypes, bad acting, el-cheapo effects, and lame plot all come together to make one entertaining movie. It's a must for any DVD collector, Sci-Fi fan, or cult classic collector!
