PLOT SYNOPSIS

=============



Cult hero Paul Bartel directed this low-budget satire

in which America's passion for cars, violence, and sporting

events are finally brought together in one convenient package.

In the not-so-distant future, the United States has become a

totalitarian regime overseen by the charming but sinister

Mr. President (Sandy McCallum), who, in order to satisfy the

masses' need for entertainment (and to quench their thirst for

violence), has created a new national sport — the Death Race,

a nationwide road rally in which the winner is not determined

by who finishes first, but by who scores the most points along

the way by running over hapless pedestrians. Aspiring champions

Machine Gun Joe Viterbo (Sylvester Stallone), Calamity Jane

(Mary Woronov), Nero the Hero (Martin Kove), and Matilda the Hun

(Roberta Collins) are all looking to take the top honors away from

Frankenstein (David Carradine), a half-man/half-machine who has

been built to be the best racer on Earth and can outrun and

outkill anyone on the circuit. However, not everyone likes the

Death Race, and revolutionary leader Thomasina Paine

(Harriet Medin) wants to sabotage the event in the name of

restoring democracy; her plan is to foil Frankenstein's

expected victory by smuggling her daughter Annie (Simone Griffeth)

into Frankenstein's race car as his navigator. Featuring

David Carradine at the height of his Kung Fu fame

(and Sylvester Stallone a year before Rocky), Death Race 2000

was a major drive-in hit in 1975; Bartel and Carradine teamed

up for another road race movie, Cannonball, a year later, and

a semi-sequel, Death Sport, appeared in 1978.

Review

======

Death Race 2000 is the type of bad movie that

can be very good, or, at least, a whole lot of fun

-- the formula for a cult classic. It offers a

surprisingly effective mix of violence, sex, and humor,

all the more impressive given its modest budget.

B-movie veteren David Carradine is appropriately gruff

as the weary Frankenstein, and a pre-Rocky Sylvester Stallone

is cast with comic perfection as -- what else? -- an Italian thug.

Rounding out the extensive group of bizarre competitors is

cult favorite Mary Woronov, as the cowgirl Calamity Jane.

The gore gets a little excessive, perhaps not surprising given

that the film was produced by Roger Corman, legendary for

high-quality, low-budget exploitation films. The movie is not

entirely without redeeming moral value, however. Like 1987's

The Running Man, it does a good job of satirizing the blood lust

of professional sports and the TV shows that enable and

encourage it. Maybe this is a film that one shouldn't think

too much about. But if you can handle spurious accusations against

the "treacherous French," and you don't mind assigning point values

to pedestrians, Death Race 2000 is a heck of a trip.
