Discuss and Post about this Cult Classic here.

Here's some basic Info about this film:
Quote:
The Transcontinental Road Race, a violent spectacle that takes a small set of racers from New York to New Los Angeles.

Racers are scored in two ways. First, by time; all racers must stop at two checkpoints on their route to New L.A., and are scored based on their placement.

It is the second scoring system that gives the film its title, however: as in the inspired video game, and further inspired games such as Carmageddon, points are scored for every person killed, with different point values depending on the age, gender and importance of the person killed.

Death Race 2000 is a cult action film directed by Paul Bartel in 1975. The movie takes place in a dystopian American society in 2000. Starring David Carradine, Simone Griffeth and Sylvester Stallone

I have only seen some scenes from this film on video in the 80's the acting and plot is crap but the cars are cool. Some Bad Humor in parts. Considered a B-Grade Low budget Sci-Fi film very violent not for the faint hearted. It will be interesting to see the remake in 2008(see the news desk Thread above). 8)

Have u seen this film?

I saw this film years ago and my mate's bachelor party while getting wasted and enjoyed it. I think its best watching while wasted than sober?
