Death Race 2000

Pros: Funny and disgusting at the same time
Cons: Really dumb

Death Race 2000 is an incredibly cheesy dark comedy from 1975. It stars David Carradine, who was hot off his TV show Kung Fu, and a mostly unknown Sylvester Stallone just a year before he became Rocky. This movie is set in the ...

Pros: funny in a sordid sort of way
Cons: stupid

Let's take a trip down memory lane. You're driving with a friend. An elderly woman walks out into traffic. You're traffic. She's about 100 yards off. Your friend turns and says, "100 points for the hag." Raise your hand if that has NOT happened ...

Pros: Cast, racing scenes, campy tone, boobs.
Cons: Satire is weak.

There's are two types of "so bad it's good" movies. One is those that are conscious of their badness and have something to say through it -- such as Wild Things. It's gleefully terrible but pointed as well. Then there are the others -- those that ...

Pros: fun racing team motifs
Cons: bad quality, bad story, bad acting, needless violence, etc.

Disclaimer: I want to say first thing that this DVD was given to me free of charge and without me asking for it. I think it was given away as a store promotion, “Get a free gift!” because they couldn’t actually sell them. Judging the book by it’s ...

Pros: Great, cheesy fun!
Cons: Nothing I can think of, unless you hate bad movies.

In honor (sic) of the Death Race remake just released in theaters, I decided I'd take a look at the vastly superior old school movie that spawned it. Welcome to The Future, AKA the year 2,000. America is ruled by an evil dictator posing as the ...

Pros: Women of the future are easy to bed.
Cons: Stallone calls his perfectly breasted navigator "one very large baked potato." I don't get it.

Introduction.
In the 1970s, there was a general fear of what the future held in store for mankind (war, pollution, overpopulation) and a specific fear of technology. People thought computers would take away jobs and reduce the human component...

Pros: It's a Roger Corman film
Cons: It's a Roger Corman film

Since entering college, that refuge of higher learning and experimentation, I have gained the opportunity to expand my repertoire of a category I have long been a fan off, namely, B-movies. I can, in all honesty say that Roger Corman's masterpiece,...

Pros: You have not seen a movie like this before
Cons: There may be a reason for that

This is one of those films that is really incredibly bad, but somehow amazingly entertaining.
It's basically the cinematic version of the game 'Carmageddon' (or the other way around, since this came first). The plot involves the Death Race, which is...

Pros: Too many to list
Cons: N/A

When I first heard of this movie, I thought it was going to be hilarious. Up to that point, I had a feeling that it would be a type of movie that I've never seen before. Boy, was I right. It was hilarious, well directed, great script, and a nice cast....

Pros: Completely unusual concept; excellent dark humor
Cons: A bit too hokey and heavy handed with the satire

I still remember flipping through TV guide, and noticing that a movie called Death Race 2000 was about to begin. I was only eleven years old, but it was some of the best two hours I've spent in front of the television.
I literally could...

Pros: Humourous,gory and humourously gory
Cons: Bits between the races are boring. Bad ending.

The year is 2000 and America is ruled by a dictator. Compassion is long dead. For a small secton of society killing is legel. This section of society is the participents of the death race. Of these participents, Frankinstein is the most ruthless....

Pros: Cars, car crashes, weaponry, imagery, engines of fury.
Cons:

Acting, plot, consistency, dialogue, continuity... everything.

Other than the combating cars, there is nothing to see here. The unbelievable story makes no sense, and is portryed via bad actors speaking laughable dialogue. I liked it because I like engines, action, and anything mechanical. But it really is horrible.
