Death Race 2000 Point System Movie Mogul Roger

But when it saw a story in Time magazine in 1975, the race was already cemented in the national consciousness, and also went on to inspire a number of cross-country 'carsploitation' movies during the 70s and 80s- Cannonball!, The Gumball Rally, Cannonball Run, Cannonball Run II, Speed Zone!, and the Smokey and the Bandit trilogy among others-a couple of which were screenwritten by Yates himself.Even low-budget movie mogul Roger Corman caught the bug at one point.In the year 2000, following a major global economic crisis, the United States-excuse me, United Provinces of America has become a fascist, über-patriotic police state ruled from abroad by a figurehead 'Mr. Gov website belongs to an official government organization in the United States.It was fast-paced, highly dangerous and also against the law. This race, named for record-setting driver Erwin George 'Cannonball' Baker who once drove from New York City to Los Angeles in a mere 53-1/2 hours, was intended to celebrate America's Interstate highway system as well as protest recently instated traffic laws, including the new 55 mph speed limit.Select the images to display more information. In 1971, Brock Yates, editor of Car and Driver magazine, established the first coast-to-coast drag race: the Cannonball Baker Sea-To-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash, also known as the Cannonball Run. Supreme Court wrestled with the issue.The number of deaths, crude death rates or age-adjusted death rates, and 95 confidence intervals and standard errors for death rates can be obtained by place of residence (total U.S., region, state and county), age group (single-year-of age, 5-year age groups, 10-year age groups and infant age groups), race, Hispanic ethnicity, gender, year. Observed what amounted to a voluntary moratorium on executions as the U.S.

'Frankenstein' (top-most billed actor and future Cannonball Run star David Carradine), the main character, the government's hero, survivor of many races with his body rebuilt so many times they say he's more machine than man Nero the Hero (Marvin Kove, the 'no mercy in this dojo' sensei from The Karate Kid), dressed as a Roman soldier and driving a modified 'chariot' painted like a lion Matilda the Hun (B-movie actress Roberta Collins), wearing a Nazi uniform and in the seat of a camouflage-painted racer with swastika and iron cross decals

Annie is there to lure Frankenstein into a trap, where a resistance member will hijack his racer disguised as him and deliver the group's ultimatum to the President, who has flown into New Los Angeles from his summer home in Peking to personally shake the winner's hand at the finish line.Frankenstein sees through her ploy, but the rebels have their minor victories anyway. (He turns them down and opts instead to relieve them of a few of their staff.)THIS is what you call health care reform?Every driver has a navigator in this race, and this year Frankenstein has Annie Smith (Simone Griffiths) who unbeknownst to him at first is the great-granddaughter of one Thomasina Paine (Harriet Medin), leader of an underground resistance movement that is opposed to the senseless violence of the Road Race and the government that promotes it. Even a geriatric hospital is holding a 'euthanasia day' where they line up some patients in the middle of the street so Frankenstein can score some easy points. Louis.to run her over, I mean.with his car. Meanwhile the racers' fans range from rowdy to just plain suicidal-Calamity Jane plays toreador with a fan dressed as a red cape-toting Spaniard before eventually goring him, and a member of Frankenstein's fan club offers herself to him while he's resting up in St. There is a ton of media coverage from Junior, Grace, and the obligatory dude who talks like Howard Cosell, including a scene where Pander interviews the widow of Machine Gun Joe's first victim and even awards her a few prizes.

And not for the reasons you might think: he knows he's just a government puppet, one of several Frankensteins bred to be drivers for this competition who can and will be replaced if need be, so he's hatched a little plan. (Junior Bruce cuts in to report that Frankenstein has just had a scrape with the French Air Force and 'whipped their derrieres.') It seems nothing will stop Frankenstein's determination to finish first-not the resistance, not the competition, not the French (allegedly), not even Annie, who by this point has become more than just a navigator to him. And in the final leg, Calamity Jane is lured into a junkyard and blown up by a land mine.Naturally, the government blames everything they're doing on the French, who along with their European allies have also apparently ruined the nation's economy and destroyed its telephone system.'Damn French! We gave you Jerry Lewis and this is how you repay us?!'The rebels have another go at Frankenstein toward the film's climax by using a glider and some land mines to veer him off the road, but he manages to outdrive them all and even leads the aircraft into the side of a mountain in the process. Using the old cartoon staple of a detour sign and a fake tunnel, Matilda the Hun is sent driving off a cliff.

Annie walks up to the podium dressed in Frank's outfit in an attempt to knife the commander-in-chief to death, but is accidentally shot by Thomasina in the crowds. President is at a podium at the finish line waiting to shake his hand (and declare war on France). As he is about to run Frank off the road for good, Annie twists off Frank's hand grenade.hand and tosses it in Joe's car, freaking his navigator out and forcing him off the road just in time for the both of them to be blown to smithereeneys.In New L.A., Frankenstein is declared the winner and sole survivor and Mr. The twain eventually meet in the film's climax and by this point Joe's bile is stirred up to the point of frothing. Especially to Frankenstein, whom he hates even more than losing and has even gone as far as to show open, murderous disdain for his fans. You see, when I said Machine Gun Joe really REALLY, hates to lose, I mean he REALLY REALLY REALLY HATES to lose.

And don't get me started on that 'hand grenade' joke. I wasn't kidding earlier about the use of a detour sign and a cardboard fake tunnel as a means to write Matilda the Hun out of the film-that is EXACTLY what happens. Several action scenes are accompanied by strangely cartoonish music and sound effects. In the scene where Frankenstein's car veers away from the elderly targets and mows down the nurses, they pop up behind a bush like someone stuck a pin in their backside as he whizzed by. A lot of it has to be seen to be believed. The newlyweds drive off to pastures new, but not before Frankenstein racks up one last dent on his bumper-the annoying Junior Bruce.'Shut up Adrian! Can't ya see I'm tryin' to go the distance here!?'Is Death Race 2000 supposed to be a comedy? I get its satirical points, but much of the rest of the film seem to be played for laughs, and this movie has one twisted sense of humor.

Sylvester Stallone's performance as Machine Gun Joe proves he could pull off the tough guy character one year before the first Rocky movie came out, even though he loses a fistfight to his rival in Albuquerque.
