Death Race 2000

A film review by Christopher Null - Copyright © 2004 Filmcritic.com

Never mind the pedestrian roadkill. You won't find another film featuring a fistfight between David Carradine and Sylvester Stallone. Er, I don't think, anyway.

Roger Corman's cult classic sends competitors in a dystopic future on a Cannonball Run-style cross-country race, but you get bonus points for killing men, women, and children along the way. Never mind that there's only one survivor by the end (and thus, the scoring is irrelevant), the fun's in the getting there.

An absolute must-see for true film fans.
