A User Review:
Death Race 2000 is one of those dependable all time favourite trash classics that I watch regularly and never fail to get a smile out of. Anytime you're down just put Death Race 2000 on and you're guaranteed to be cheered up! Directed by the late Paul Bartel, co-produced by b-grade legend Roger Corman, and co-written by Charles Griffith, this is simply one of the most enjoyable and entertaining exploitation movies of all time. The setting is the near future where a totalitarian regime keep the populace happy with a violent and extremely popular sport of hit and run car racing. The champion of the people is Frankenstein (David Carradine) who has to race against a flamboyant group of rivals, led by his mortal enemy Machine-Gun Joe Viterbo (Sly Stallone!) who is intent on knocking him off the top. This is a rip roarin' non-stop action-packed black comedy that is an absolute hoot! I can't recommend this one highly enough. Essential viewing!
Trivia:
David Carradine refused to wear leather, so costume designer Jane Ruhm had to make Carradine's iconic black outfit out of another fabric that looked just like leather.
