Review of Death Race 2000 (1975) by John W — 29 Sep 2007
Fantastic stuff, one of the best films I've ever seen. Set in a dystopian future, there's this famous transcontinental race where running over pedestrians wins you points. It's Mad Max meets Carmageddon.
As the cars roar into Pennsylvania, the cradle of liberty, it seems apparent that our citizens are staying off the streets, which may make scoring particularly difficult, even with this year's rule changes. 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.
