the best sick joke movie ever made

ok first ,if you are a politicaly correct person who wants nothing that offends any one,DON"T BUY THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
now if you except that the world is full of offending things and that to laugh at them is the best way to deal with them,come have a seat and watch this wonderful,trashy satire of violance and the way we become numb to it and what it does.
oh yes brothers and sisters feel the healing powers of this tacky road race movie about a future where war is no more and the only outlet for our aggresion is the sport of "deathrace" where besides speed you must earn points for running over people along the race way.david carridine is frankenstien the worlds greatest driver at the sport,but he's begining to think maybe this race is no longer what the world needs.
all kidding aside(sorry if i sounded like a preacher, but really i ment to) this satire is very funny and reminds us that politicaly correctness isn't that great if it stops us from think,not a bad message for a little drive-in movie from the 70's.

OK, but not as good as I expected

The main disappointment with this movie was the excessive number of shots of the cars zipping through empty roads as compared to the number of points won by mowing down citizens. Actually not that many of the latter - the satire (such as it is) could have been much sharper and more extravagant here. Did the Director feel that stepping up that side of it would be too shocking?

Otherwise the movie has an agreeable facile sense of the period (bad hair styles, would-be funky music, absurd sets, inane plot, cheapo design all round). So worth a watch. But not the witty classic I had expected.

Corny, Overacting, Silly, Stupid, Over The Top..... I love it

I just saw this film lieing around in a cheapie bin and had never heard of it, especialy since it's a movie with Stallone in it. It's not his first film, but its close to it.

I'm glad I picked it up, it's a whacky Cannonball/The Running Man kind of thing accross America. A few racers and there copilot race accross the country in there modified hotrods in not only a race, but they get points for runing people over... it's hilarious to hear what points you get for what. It's got some grousome scenes but funny to me cause there so sudden.

It reminds me of a kind of TROMA style movie. I guess if youre a fan of TROMA you should love this. It's not brilliant acting, its not academy award winner, so you pukes who who gave Titanic 5 stars wont like this movie at all. This is a popcorn flick for entertainment... so just enjoy the ride.
