Audio: How does it sound?Ī basic mono soundtrack, which is passable, but unremarkable. Not the kind of difference to pop your eyes out, but if you’ve seen previous home video editions, you’ll satisfied with this improved version. I compared this with other versions I have seen and the image here is more refined, with less print wear present. As expected, the print has some worn stretches, but looks more than acceptable.

I was so thrilled to have the movie finally presented in widescreen, but even beyond that, this is a solid effort.

As fans have suffered through full frame, worn out transfers for thirty years, it is about time we were given a proper treatment. If you’re an easy-going movie maniac who loves the sound of tires ripping flesh, buckle up, and put the pedal to the metal with Death Race 2000! Video: How does it look?ĭeath Race 2000 is presented in 1.78:1 anamorphic widescreen. The film has a huge cult following, and certainly is a very welcome addition to my DVD collection. But don’t confuse what I mean, DR2K is a film for people who enjoy nudity, violence, and crude humor. A small rebellion mounts to try to stop the road-race, and that adds suspense to an otherwise violence and T&A driven flick. Helping mix things up a bit are a few commentators for the road-race, most entertaining being Junior Bruce, who keeps things going in a humorous vein. While the movie is short on story and realism, it is high on fun, and that’s what a movie like DR2K is all about. The movie also shows off the female character’s assets, as almost every female in the film is shown topless at some point.
The acting is DR2K is so-so, with the women being there for only reason, their looks. This movie is balls-to-the-wall excitement, and packed with action and driving stunts. So, blood and guts reign supreme in this one, although the camp level i super high, so don’t expect realism.

How does one win this road-race? Easy, finish first, pick up points, and SURVIVE! Points, you say? Yep, by running over different age/sex people, the drivers can rack up some big totals. The star of the race, however, is Frankenstein (David Carradine), who wears a leather suit and mask to hide his “racing scars”, which include dismembered arms, gashed head, and scarred up face. “Machine Gun” Joe Viterbo (Sly Stallone) is behind the wheel of a mobster-styled car with a huge knife on the hood, along with two Thompson Sub-Machine guns. Nero The Hero, a Roman send-up, drives a car decadent enough for Caligula himself. Calamity Jane, a nympho cow-girl drives a bitchin’ beast with bull-horns on the hood, while the blond haired/blue eyed Aryan, Matilda The Hun, chooses The Buzzbomb, a swaztika-labeled vehicle. Each year, the best of the best, or at least the best of the survivors, unite to engage in the greatest sports event all of time, The Trans-Continental Road Race! (I wanted to have an echo on that, but it’s hard to do when typing) 5 racers each drive their own signature cars, specially designed for their style of driving and maiming. “In the year hit and run isn’t just a felony:it’s the national sport!” With a tag line like that, you know Death Race 2000 is gonna be one bad mother trucker.
