Fans can root for Calamity Jane (Mary Woronov), Matilda the Hun (Roberta Collins), Nero the Hero (Martin Kove), Machine Gun Joe Viterbo (Sylvester Stallone as the "roughest tough guy of them all"), or the friend of the president, the man who lost a leg in '98, and an arm in '99 (and his jaw in '92, his right eye in '95, his nose and left eye in '97, and his cranium in '98): Frankenstein (David Carradine). It's the Transcontinental Road Race, in its 20th anniversary, with its five contestants in their modified (and themed) vehicles. It's the new national pastime. The end result? 'Death Race 2000,' the 1975 science fiction drama romance sports action comedy directed by Paul Bartel that oozes awesome.Violence. Take one part 'The Racer,' a novel by Ib Melchior, add one part "essence of Roger Corman," shake or stir, it doesn't matter how you blend the concoction.
But it's impossible to discount its look at politics, inter-gender relations, and the de-sensitization of violence in the American landscape. This low budget farce (of sorts) may stand as one of the best genre bending films of all time, a statement film if ever there were one.It's hard to take the film seriously at times, with its goofy electronic soundtrack (inspired by ' A Clockwork Orange'), it's gags (such as Sly throwing a wad of clam sauce at a race official in disgust), it's sensationalized violence, and it's constant plays on words (provided by race commentator Junior (the great Don Steele). As these five face off against each other, and a terrorist faction bent on abolishing the race, hidden allegiances and politics may put an end to each and every one of them.if they don't kill each other first!"Blitzkrieg!" The cry Matilda the Hun makes with every kill may be the best single word to describe this phenomenon, a display of organized chaos and anarchy that not only makes a statement on the blood lust and distrust of a generation, but also provides extreme comedy and action for its viewers. Men, women, infants or the elderly, everyone is fair game.

It's amazing watching how violence is sensationalized, with doctors wheeling out geriatrics for the slaughter, women sacrificing themselves to the racers they love (now that's commitment!), and navigators screaming for their racers to aim for the women and babies in crowds, or to make detours to go through boy scout camps for easy points. The woman punching, gun toting, foul mouthed heavy is so deliciously over the top, it only helps that Stallone cheeses it up, knowing full well what kind of film he's in.The various themes in 'Death Race 2000' may be in your face obvious, but they're all a part of the ride, popping up in increasing intensity as the film progresses. Machine Gun Joe is a hilarious character, so full of machismo, blunt and brash comments, and a predilection towards violence that can only be topped by his desire to once again win the race.and beat (if not kill) Frankenstein at the same time. The real delight, though, has to be Stallone, who was, at the time, still writing ' Rocky' when he signed on to be the second lead in the film. It's impossible not to love the idealistic hero, who hides his intentions and beliefs more than his faux-leather outfit hides his true appearance.
Lobby Cards Death Race 2000 1080P With An
Colors don't retain their integrity all that well, and can appear washed out quite often. I'm glad I didn't get my hopes up.'Death Race 2000' is presented in 1080p with an AVC MPEG-4 encode at 1.85:1, and it most certainly looks its age. Certainly, I got my hopes up some, considering the Blu-ray release had to improve the clarity of the picture (especially by comparison) at the very least, but knowing the material, I knew not to expect a miracle.
Best of all, there's a single frame at the 46:50 mark that is loaded with blue squares all over, like some weird, brief artifact burst. Noise pops up some, particularly in the scene involving the airplane. DNR isn't a real issue, but there are some moments that led me to scratch my head and wonder if it were utilized here. Scenes go from clean to dirty and back and forth far too often, and after a while this becomes a distraction while watching the film. Dirt is a predominant factor, as it can be light, with tiny blips and larger semi-transparent blobs sprinkled randomly, but in entire sequences it can be utterly filthy (keep an eye on the geriatrics scene for the first example of the extreme dirt and debris).
Shots mixing the (awesome) soundtrack and engine noise become an indistinguishable blur, and better yet, there are a couple light audio hiccups, possibly due to the way some scenes were cut and transition, but they're hard to miss. There's not much range to speak of, as this entire track seems stuck in neutral, and the rare times it does pop its head up for some high ends, it's incredibly shrill and screechy. These may be intentional, or due to lighting on set creating said noises, but some occur in different areas, which is odd (the pit stop in St Louis is particularly bad). There are a few scenes with light feedback or humming noise in the background, sometimes going the length of an entire scene. It blares horribly when a character yells. Sure, like the video, I had lowered my expectations back down to reality before reviewing the disc, but even expecting the bare minimum, I found myself upset at how poor this one sounds.Dialogue is pretty clear, and usually (as in, not always) discernible, as random lines, particularly louder ones, can be difficult to comprehend.
I'm not joking, and I really, really wish I were, even if the dialogue gets a bit more human as the commentary progresses. This track is massively annoying, due to feedback/echo and extreme tin in Hirsch's comments, making her sound like an android. Audio Commentary - With Lewis Teague and Tina Hirsch. 30 points out of a possible 100.Two "extras" on this release include the fact that the cover is reversible, with alternate cover art (the spine and back are the same), and that there is a 12 page booklet included, with photographs and a few miniature highlight articles.
The legendary producer, plus the actress who plays Calamity Jane, discuss the film, and cover more than just on-the-surface analysis. Audio Commentary - With Roger Corman and Mary Woronov. It's just talkin' over the film. They talk about their experiences on the film, with some random comments about experiences, but there's no real intrigue, no pull or sell to be found.
