death race 2000 (1975)


"To recap those revisions: women are still worth 10 points more than men in all age brackets, but teenagers now rack up 40 points, and toddlers under 12 now rate a big 70 points. The big score: anyone, any sex, over 75 years old has been upped to 100 points."
The future (well it was in 1975), and the biggest sporting event is the transcontinental death race, where contestants gain points by killing pedestrians along the way. But whilst its a popular sport, some people have taken against it and are attempting to bring it to an end.
A cartoon action adventure, with pretentions towards political and media satire. This is chock full of anti-heroes such as Frankenstein (David Caradine) and Machine Gun Joe (Silvester Stallone). All in all good campy fun.
