Review of Death Race 2000 (1975) by Joe K — 20 Aug 2008
I'm having a hard time legitimately rating this movie. I mean, it's terrible, but there's something delicious about it, like watching your friends in some shitty film they made for social class.
The problem with making an updated version for it is that everything that makes the film watchable can't be reproduced. You can't get people who you know will become big stars (or at least cult stars) to necessarily act in it, and you can't get back fucking shitty low-budget sets and action sequences, or a version of the future so very close to the 70's that it almost serves as a Grease for that decade.
Well, not quite. I'm just being an asshole.
