DEATH RACE 2000

Paul Bartel

Design sans titre-45

In the future, millions tune in to watch an epic road race across the United States in which drivers run over pedestrians for bonus points. The commercialisation of voyeurism, first seen in Rollerball, gets the Roger Corman treatment here, with the talented producer taking the concept of over-the-top spectacle to its logical extreme. A gory joy ride starring David Carradine and a not-yet-famous Sylvester Stallone.

USA – 1975 – 1hr20 – in English subtitled in French

Director : Paul Bartel
