Death Race 2000
http://www.reeldeals.com/pictures/death2k.jpg
Directed by Paul Bartel produced by Roger Corman if you want some low budget dead pan comedy which is basically Canonball Run on Crack here's your ticket. Seriously thou the performances are so wack you can't beileve it and some of the moments in the movies are super chessy. Sly Stallone in which seems to me his best acting job as of yet note the amount of sarcasim in my typing I happen to think that his best performance is Copland but really he's ok I guess in Death Race 2000. David Carrindine as Frankenstein is way over the top and I say was the best thing about Death Race 2000.
Well, what does she expect? You leave your navigator lying around, naturally somebody is going to run over him.
Roger Corman was making movie to make profit's and this movie is a prime example of a movie that made money on bad taste with bad sets and outragous acting and a really silly script. Okay I'll admit it right now I like this movie. Every new Deformed situation that arouses had me aroused and the movie kept me involved if not for anything but to see what next crazy thing they would do.

What really has me thinking is that Tak Fujimoto shot this film which he later went on to do Silence of the Lambs and tons of more great films. While it's not badly shot it's not greatly shot which brings me back to the budget if your going to make a movie in the future with special effects and all why not make it more simpler than to try and do think so half @ssed.
Frankenstein! Frankenstein the legend, Frankenstein the indestructible! Sole survivor of the titanic pile-up of '95, only two-time winner of the Transcontinental Road Race... Frankenstein! Ripped up, wiped out, battered, shattered, creamed, and reamed... a dancer on the brink of death... Frankenstein, who lost a leg in '98, an arm in '99! With half a face and half a chest, and all the guts in the world, he's back!
It's a classic in the sense that it's a Cult Classic that will only get more and more fans. these fans will tell others and they will come back to it all the time. Give it a chance maybe Ya'll see past some of the bad things in the film and come to the conclusion that it ain't half that bad after all.I dig it big time.
