Death Race 2000

[Brasil]

A friend of mine recently recommended that I watch a movie called Death Race 2000. When I expressed to him my lack of knowledge of what it was, he excitedly and quite speedily rushed over to find the copy in Hollywood Video. I stood there as he was retrieving it, all the while wondering [i]What in the hell is Death Race 2000???[/i]. He returned with a VHS tape and shoved it in my hands. I looked at it.

It's from 1975, and stars David Carradine (Kill Bill) and Sylvester Stallone. The plot is something you'd find out of a B-movie, and rightly so. DR2000 is a B-movie, heh. The best summary of it (I've not seen it yet, though it is sitting here next to me) is the tagline:

[left]Obviously, once I watch the movie, I can provide a much better response to it, but has anyone seen it? Heard of it? The tagline alone--and David Carradine, of course, should be reason enough to see it at least once, I think.[/left]

[COLOR=MediumTurquoise]Once again, I feel unutterably ignorant. But never fear, that feeling will remain. I suppose, if Carradine is hotter in this one than in Kill Bill, I could drive out to see it at my friend's house. He works at mentioned Hollywood Video, so his rentals are mostly free.

.....death race. Sounds like something that'd have Trent Reznor music in it, bad haircuts, and big trucks.[/COLOR]
