Death Race 2000

Featuring a young Sylvester Stallone, this rarely-screened cult hit rampages through a dystopian future where America tunes in to an annual cross-country road race that rewards drivers for running over pedestrians as much as it does coming in first place. Meanwhile, a resistance plots to sabotage the race as an act of defiance against “Mr. President” and his regime. Outlandishly campy and violent, Roger Corman's uproarious screenplay set a standard for the explosion of grindhouse films in the 1970s.
