Consensus: Death Race 2000 is a fun, campy classic, drawing genuine thrills from its mindless ultra-violence.

Runtime: 85 mins

Genre: Science-Fiction/Fantasy

Synopsis: More delightfully sick humor from Bartel (EATING RAOUL). In a boorish future, the government sponsors a popular, but bloody, cross-country race in which points are scored by mowing down... More delightfully sick humor from Bartel (EATING RAOUL). In a boorish future, the government sponsors a popular, but bloody, cross-country race in which points are scored by mowing down pedestrians--with bonus points for the elderly! Five teams, each comprised of a male and female, compete using cars equipped with deadly weapons. Frankenstein, the mysterious returning champion, has become America's hero, but this time he has a passenger from the underground resistance. A legendary cult film. [More]

This is a wacky movie that keeps your attention with a constant stream of violence, nudity and weirdness.
