Summary: Classic Comedy
Review: This look at the year 2000 from the 70's, point of imagination, is just as funny as it is disturbing. This movie is for the hit and run junkie, only you get paid for vehicular murder. The drivers race cross country in an all out frenzy to collect as many points as possible running people over. From the young to the old, rich to the poor, no one is safe on the streets of the future. So the next time you cross the street you better think twice about it, because Frankenstein ( David Carradine) Or Sly Stallone's car just might mow you down. The quality of this flic is a little distorted, and cheaply made, but is worth it's weight in gold, and should keep you amused the whole way through.
So grab the gear shifter and hang on For Dear Life, this is one crazy ride. Beep Beep The KritiK

Summary: Grade Z.
Review: This movie has not aged well. Set in the near future, a jaded population is entertained by a road race in which points are accumulated by killing pedestrians -- the more helpless, the greater the point value.

The screenplay is atrocious; the acting is terrible (I think the cast was bored); the special effects are amateurish.

Sometimes, a bad movie can be funny to watch. This one's just painful. Pass it by.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Needs to be Remade
Review: This movie is excellent on many differnet levels. On the surface, it is a spectacle of fast cars, bloody violence, cheap production, great laughs and Stallone at his best. On a deeper level, it is almost how this satirizes our current sports culture of ESPN and WWF style extremety. This is a flim, if properly redone, would make an excellent remake.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Closer to Our Present than anyone could Imagine...
Review: This movie is Great for so many reasons... Besides having stars in it that everyone seems to know ;)... This movie is closer to how things are in 2000 than anyone could of thought at the time... The acting in the movie is perfect for the story that it tells... Fans of Toxic Avenger movies will find out where the points for hitting people comes from...

They race across the USA and gain points for killing people on the way... The beloved leader starts the race and media spreads propaganda the entire movie... They make fun of so many things and its very well done... The movie helps show the media for what it is among other things :)... Some parts might be a bit boring, still for the most part its worth watching... Funny how in movie they blame things on the french :)... I see even today media makes fun of french to say least at times :)... Also in USA they always laugh cuz they like jerry lewis :)... This movie is worth watching just for the Corvette :)... Also it has Frankenstein without the wolfman or dracula to steal the show :)... Sly is in the best role of his life, he plays it very well to say least :)...

Stick around and listen at the end, the credits talk about an interesting story :)...

Summary: Top 3 low budget science fiction movies of all time
Review: This movie is watchable time and time again. How can you beat a young Sylvestor Stallone? The off-beat humor cannot be topped. I rate this as one of the top three low budget science fiction movies ever. The other two: "A Boy and his Dog" and "Creation of the Humanoids". It is my favorite Roger Corman movie also. But ... do yourself a favor and pass on the bogus sequel called "Deathsport". The original has a certain magic but the second try does not. Well, I have to go now there are still some pedestrians left in the world.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: This one is something else!
Review: Well, Death Race 2000 marks one of the first movies by Sylvester Stallone and one of many by David Carradine. This movie was made in 1975 and it shows it. The basic story is about a race from New York City to Los Angeles in a futuristic (yet Bizarre) year 2000. This movie could fall under Science Fiction, Action and Comedy. Its interesting to say the least. The cars are cool, the acting is ok. If you do not like violence, I wouldnt recommend this movie. It can be Brutal at times. Definitely rent this one before you buy it. Its good but it isnt great.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Classic Corman camp
Review: What doesn't this movie have? Sex, nudity, violence, explosions. It pre-dates Carmagedon by two decades with its points scored for killing pedestrians, It has Sylvester Stallone doing the same role he does in every movie. THE REAL DON STEELE! Louisa Moritz, Mary Woronov, Carradine, they all are totally over the top. It's the kind of trash that Hollywood doesn't make anymore. Fun, unpretentious, stupid but entertaining.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: killer retro flicks
Review: what more could you ask for dirt brothers

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This is Hilarious!!!!!!
Review: When I first saw this film I was in shock. David Carradine and Sylvester Stallone star in the futuristic comedy about a race from the east coast to west coast where killing people is encouraged for points. Although Sylvester Stallone's acting reaked awfully like some 22 day old cooked chicken left on the counter, the film was trully a funny flick for people who enjoy sick humor and get a kick out of unnecessary violence.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Racing to the Death!
Review: Who in their right mind would race and be willing to die? David Carradine and Sylvester Stallone would! Before Sylvester Stallone became an icon, he made this movie. A low-budget science fiction movie that takes place in the year, I can't remember, 2000! Yeah! The race is the most popular game show in the United States and they have to go from the East coast to the West coast in a couple of days. Racers score points by killing people from all ages. Horrible! It was particularly funny when the renegades put a baby doll out for a racer to run over, but the baby was fake and ended up being a bomb. KABOOM! Yes. Stallone's car contains a huge sword sticking out of his engine! How sharp! David Carradine is repulsive and all of the other actors are terrible. Stallone is the best thing that happened to this movie!
