Anybody remember 'Death Race 2000'? A truly terrible movie. Some game company even came out with an arcade game version of it. The object of the game was to drive around and kill pedestrians. The game disappeared after a lot of complaints by outraged citizenry. Anyway, the movie was pretty badly done. I watched it because I like car race & crash movies, but was very disappointed in this. The cars were ridiculous, and the director made heavy use of speeded up films.

"Death Race 2000" is the ONLY movie I've ever been disgusted enough by to walk out of. I saw no redeeming value in the 45 minutes to 1 hour of it that I watched. -- Walt Tucker Tektronix, Inc.

I found the movie very funny in a dark satiric way. This is still I think an excellent movie to see while toxically inebriated, especially the hospital scene, and where the main bad guy takes out his own pit crew on the final day of the race. True, the effects were not great, but it was a very campy movie to begin with. Wasn't Death Race 2000 Sly Stallone's first film role, as the gangster-type driver ? Kevin Kinder ihnp4!ihlpm!kvk

I would like to cast a dissenting vote. DR2000 was bad, but not totally. Remember one of the Carradines as the villain, who scored the first points in the race by backing over his pit crew. --Mr. Blore, the DJ who would not die --aka Steve Howard, udenva!showard --"No matter what your occupation is Everybody's in show-biz" --the Kinks
