Dang does it ever not suck to be old?
why the hat? this is all so confusing
Oh, I get it, the Resistance is Anti-Racist.
Death Race 2000: mandatory ICE training film.
@moira yeah this is the only way any of this makes sense
(by not making any sense)
Ah yes, red tempera paint blood we all missed last week #monsterdon
Euthanasia day the geriatric hospital is like mario cart ? Boxes #monsterdon #deathrace2000
DIG THOSE CHAIRS.
Discount Cronkite breaking inβ¦
@jonny @arrjay number go up #monsterdon
So is this like Golf where the lowest score wins? It seems like the easiest targets like toddlers and old people are the most points I don't get it #Monsterdon
How are these kills being broadcast?
#monsterdon Well, a bullfighting matador in ripped trashy jeans? FINE. The car shaped like a bull? Obvious. I love the points, and this may be where my folks got their joke about vehicular manslaughter for points from. I would not be surprised at all. 1975, my birth year after all. Folks would have been in their mid-30βsβ¦
How many hats does that guy own? #monsterdon #DeathRace2000
OH YEAH i remember this part now
"Euthanasia day at the hospital"?!
#Monsterdon
#Monsterdonππ€ΈββοΈπ©Έππ€ΈββοΈπ©Έππ€ΈββοΈπ©Έπ±
ugh.
"Mercy hospital" in *this* post economic collapse fascist alt-future-past?
@arrjay points!!!! #monsterdon
Ah look at these old people so happy to be run through by cars
How could you let them down
why are they spread out across lanes tho #monsterdon #deathrace2000
He's saying "Toro!" but I'm seeing "Vaca" #monsterdon
"Euthanasia day at the hospital" a bit too on the nose after 2020
Still not sure how he was going to beat the car with a cape TBH
#monsterdon
She'll be getting both ears for that one.. wut?
With this scoring system I'd forget about getting to California and get a tank and drive through retirement homes
Seriously when does the announcer die?
There's a lot of Bugs Bunny in this violence film
Blah Blah health care plan, blah blah. #Monsterdon #DeathRace2000
Euthenasia race 2000
#monsterdon I like that Carradine got a twinkly music face reveal like he's handsome and not... David Carradine
I guess it was kinda neat
Euthanasia 2000
#Monsterdon I think that if I was organizing the greatest race in history, I'd get more than five drivers.
"Euthanasia day at the geriatric hospital"
#Monsterdon #DeathRace2000 OHNOOOOOOO
How do the drivers know that all these point values have gone up? Like how are they suppose to adjust strategy
#monsterdon R2D2 looking pretty lithe...
Toro! #monsterdon
Wait shouldn't the people easier to hit be worth fewer points?
I guess the plot of this movie was written before people were worried about population decline
Just a random scruffy guy who wants to die.
"R2-D2 try and increase the power"
#monsterdon
this is an era before streamers and Content Creation and all that so this guy is just bullfighting the death race for the pure hell of it #monsterdon
Was bullfighting on the bingo card? #Monsterdon
Who ordered the picador on the track?
Okay but the toreador is amazing
#Monsterdon #DeathRace2000
This is the Hunger Games but not everybody opted in. Uh. Does Janie's car have horns because she likes guys w/ red capes or
Good old American automotive ergonomic design #monsterdon
Someone get this news anchor out of his obsidian banana chair so he can take a nap. #monsterdon
Matador vs cars, the most ancient of sports
#monsterdon
@Zerofactorial Especially if you count the crowd, he fired a machine gun into.
#Monsterdon
And thus, medicare remains solvent. #Monsterdon
OlΓ©! #monsterdon #DeathRace2000
they made no effort to make it seem like not the 70s and that just kinda makes it confusing
Mom: "Well I guess I'd better watch out, huh!?" #monsterdon #deathrace2000
Ok, I love the scoring system.
Toddler's under twelve years? #Monsterdon #DeathRace2000 ποΈ π₯
I just realized what Frankenstein's car reminds me of: Bowser
the baby graphic got me
They gave me the Kung Fu guy face.
It was either that or Police Woman.
Toddlers under 12? Under 12 what?
It makes no sense that the faster you can move, the fewer points you're worth.
Toddlers under 12. Hm. #Monsterdon
wait, if the cars can "choose their own route" why are they all going to PA?
I was curious so am reading through the body of work of the director, Paul Bartel. A lot I recognize, much of it of similar levels of schlock though most of it intentionally so for comedic effect. Also quite the list of credits as an actor, many of which I also recognize. #DeathRace2000 #Monsterdon
The most exciting anchorman of all time explaining Carmageddon #monsterdon #DeathRace2000
Damn those innocent bystanders for avoiding being murdered. #monsterdon
"retard the spark 4 er 3 degrees"
um, surely you kid
#Monsterdon
The future is 1975 except day-glo I guess I dunno #Monsterdon
The lounging sports announcer is probably only brought to life for these races.
#monsterdon
So... dude relies on navigators to win, but just kills them off randomly himself?
#monsterdon Vehicular manslaughter brings the... uh, laughter? Road crewman was just... digging... and that's fine, I mean, whatever, points, sure. But auto repair while running makes me think of Hans the Forklift Driver. LOL

Don't pay for a bunch of extras when you want to show a crowd.
Like in Death Race 2000, where they used an existing race crowd at Ontario Motor Speedway (California).
He's trying to give her a ram-air embolism through her butt.
Rambo could win this one on points #monsterdon
Frankenstein's navigator is kinda like an R2D2
#monsterdon
#deathrace2000
he just wanted to see her ass #monsterdon #deathrace2000
The backstory is he didnβt want to be stabbed in the balls and run over
c'mon corman, at least TRY not to show the mountains
Frankenstein healed really quickly
So that's how you retard the spark 3Β°
The subtitles "Yes sir. Re: A clean hit" #monsterdon
#Monsterdon #DeathRace2000
Get back there and retard the spark three degree... wut?
I begin to see how he goes through so many navigators. #Monsterdon
Oh, I get it. DEATH race.
I thought they were supposed to kill each other, not innocent bystanders.
#Monsterdon
I really hope someone carries plate glass or crates of eggs in front of this Death Race
For those curious about the real life death race with slightly less death: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannonball_Run_challenge
Sure, that sounds like car thing, sure
#monsterdon
I think makeup was phoning it in when they had Carradine in the chair #monsterdon
Why does Stallone have to yell in the car and DC does not? #Monsterdon #DeathRace2000 ποΈ π₯
END ALL CONSTRUCTION
Benjamin Moore is missing five gallons of red paint #Monsterdon
It seems like doing road construction during the deadliest road race in history is a bad plan.
Oh, god, itβs actual David Caradineβs horrible face! #Monsterdon
"And no pain for the target"
... then why was he screaming? #Monsterdon
#monsterdon #DeathRace2000 I guess making Nazi jokes in 1975 was all in good fun
