Review of Death Race 2000 (1975) by Stephen C — 30 Mar 2008
A real stonewall B movie classic from Roger Cormans New world studios.
A film that contains a real political message but yet at the sme time contains all the usual Traits of Explotation Cinema.
Paul Bartel who in my view is a very neglected director handles the naked ladies random Violence and dark black humour deftly and smartly.
Stallone is tops as a Racer with an Attitude and the film zips along at a merry old pace.
B movies tend not to be constricted by studio bigwigs and here that lack of tampering pays of handsomly .
Corman is a true pioneer giving careers to Scorsese,Dante Demme and others .
And his New World B pictures of this period are real gems like this one.
A great intro into the world of the B movie.
