Death Race 2000

Screening on Film
Directed by Paul Bartel.
With David Carradine, Mary Woronov and Sylvester Stallone.
US, 1975, 35mm, color, 84 min.

In this brutal yet cartoonish view of the near future, human life is cheap, resistance is futile, and the nation’s favorite pastime is watching a ghoulish sport called “The Death Race,” where speedracers tear cross-country scoring points for killing pedestrians. One of Roger Corman’s most notorious productions, this instant cult classic takes America’s obsession with violence to an outrageous extreme.
