This is director Paul Bartel and writer Robert Thom at their most deliriously twisted and producer Roger Corman at his most visionary.

One of King Corman's finest pictures.

The story, about a road race in the not-too-distant future for which the drivers are given points for running down pedestrians, becomes an elaborate and telling fantasy about our peculiar popular entertainments. Fine work carved from minimal materials.

Top CriticFun, fun, fun!

Time has tamed it somewhat, but it's still loads of fun.

Crazy-violent, chintzy camp classic.

It has a comic strip premise which is neverthless wholly credible in a sick sort of way.

Death Race 2000 is as Corman as his B-grade action pics come, with cars flying through the frame, blood spilling behind them, and overnight pit-stops for some sex ("navigators" in each car keep their drivers juiced up).

An absolute must-see for true film fans.

The conception and execution are top-notch low-budget trash.
08/25/08
In the end, it reveals itself to have nothing to say beyond the superficial about government or rebellion. And in the absence of such a statement, it becomes what it seems to have mocked -- a spectacle glorifying the car is an instrument of violence.
05/09/05
Unwatchable car wreck of an exploitation film.
01/16/08
...a mindlessly entertaining, thoroughly campy piece of work...
