π¬ Director Paul Bartel on Death Race
1/3
"Most of my guilty pleasures in this film were ripped out by the roots by Roger Corman before the film ever saw the light of day and substituted with crushed heads and blood squibs...
Sigh! At the deep romance of the oboe-backed David Carradine love scene!
that eyeshadow is positively bananas #monsterdon
another background reality of this movie has to be that most of the public lands have been sold off and tresspassing laws are violently enforced, so that the roads are really the last public place to be #monsterdon
this is some serious wiley coyote shit
That murder was fishy
okay the sewer grate kill was pretty great
Killed the US Priest. Nice. #Monsterdon
Frankenstein fan-fic
@overholt To be fair, this entire movie is gratuitous
david carradine's face walked so that owen wilson's face could run #monsterdon
Wow that baby is dynamite. That kid is going places. All over the road.
#Monsterdon #DeathRace2000
Go for the baby and the mother! The baby the baby!!!
#monsterdon #deathrace2000
I appreciate that our two announcers are Guy on Heroin and Guy on Downers #Monsterdon
This man is faaaarrrrr too coherent to be the evil world dictator, as it turns out
Ah, subtle is nowhere to be seen in this movie.
I think the nudity in Death race improved it. But not by it being "wow check out the T&A, that's hot" it was more like "Wait what? boobs again? Didn't we just do that 10 minutes ago? I did not expect more unerotic breasts movie." as a distraction between car scenes.
#Monsterdon #DeathRace2000
#monsterdon this movie ruled. Between the wacky death scenes and the sound...choices, this was a great watch.
and a nazi died. how good!
Okay people, one last thing to do before you leave the theater: Was the FIRST #Monsterdon movie of the year the WORST #Monsterdon movie of the year?
what in the actual ... what is this voiceover ... what ... uh ...
@ricci Maybe a cat walked across the keyboard? π€·ββοΈ
#Monsterdon
"and really when you think about it people are saying I had the biggest crowd sizes ever"
the press has basically totally given up covering the back half of the race and there was no coverage of the last two racers dying and whatnot. so it seems like the winning strategy would be to wait until the southwest and kill all the other drivers when nobody is looking #monsterdon
Theory: the person doing the soundtrack didn't realize there was a movie and just put some sounds together
#monsterdon #deathrace2000
how many things labeled F ARE there in this movie
@jonny i think he just turned out to be the actual radical
HAND grenade. HAH. Hah hah.
#Monsterdon #DeathRace2000
RIP the French air force. That was a good model explosion.
#Monsterdon #DeathRace2000
quite the payload capacity on this very small hobby aircraft
Some people just don't get 'b' films. They don't want to. #monsterdon
I only just realized that I have #MonsterdonBingo, I had marked "Flying through the air" but not "Soaring through the air" (I think the cliff scene satisfies both)
No glove no love
Oh, my, god. Put your clothes on, this is a *movie*. #monsterdon
If there's anything creepier than a David Carradine love scene, I don't know what it is.
#Monsterdon #DeathRace2000
@moira would watch corman's furniture commercials
In that fight they forgot the pop-ups that say "BAM!" and "POW!"
the treacherous French! π«π·
@jonny This all seems to be based on the assumption that people will act in the interest of self-preservation and I don't even know if we can take that for granted
That's how we know this is science fiction.
He's driving unmasked, pretty sure a lot of people have seen his face now
#monsterdon #deathrace2000
progress along the map perfectly lined up with progress through the movie. that's how you do pacing baby. nice and literal. #monsterdon
The race officials decided that killing race officials counts. Doesn't seem an especially bright decision on their parts. #monsterdon
wtf all they gotta do is paint a tunnel on a wall
First time I saw this was at a slumber party at a friends house in 10th grade. We rented this and Cruisin'. That was a fun night. #monsterdon
Why is Frankenstein dressed as Sting from Dune?
#Monsterdon #DeathRace2000
i would go all battle bots with my death race car, retractable circular saws on the sides, and one huge hammer up top #monsterdon
Yeah I'm confident this movie has no protagonists. This is just a misanthropist's feverdream. #monsterdon
...Thomasina Paine.
Okay, I get the joke, but c'mon. At some point you run out of nose. #Monsterdon
I don't know how to riff this, it's too intentionally absurd. #monsterdon
This is fucking dark
I like how all the other cars are like "covered with knives" and "has a cannon or maybe that's a rocket booster" and his is just "lizard"
Old Howard Cosell needs the headphones to complete the image.
OH! That kinda DEATH race.
Well this movie explains some of the gags while driving as a teen I didn't get.
#Monsterdon #DeathRace2000
Oh, god, itβs actual David Caradineβs horrible face! #Monsterdon
Disappointing of the Opera
#monsterdon #deathrace2000
It's the people LARPing as the National Park Service on social media!
Only 5 cars really doesn't feel like enough. There should be like 10 so you can blow up half the nobodies in the first half hour.
#Monsterdon #DeathRace2000
This countryside doesn't look like New Jersey. #MONSTERDON
California Uber Alles #Monsterdon
Post-movie thoughts: Stallone was actually good in this film.
@ramsey @kcarr2015 @yatsu And directed by Paul W.S. Anderson of Resident Evil fame. Potentially promising schlock. #monsterdon
so @FunkyBob points out that DEATH RACE 2000 was a response to ROLLERBALL, which it turns out *is* on Tubiβ¦
ROLLERBALL #Monsterdon when
I'm not sure I'm cut out to watch "movie with whole soundtrack replaced with an album." Atleast not a movie that didn't start out as a silent movie. Nosferatu is okay with new tunes.
#Monsterdon #TheHobbitonWeed
@nev what is going on https://synanon.com/2021/12/07/extras/
#monsterdon
Aaaand that's Death Race 2000!
BOINK BWONG DOI-OI-OING
Thanks @Taweret and the unleaded #Monsterdon crew for a delightful evening! I'm going to put it in park and see how many points I can get for killing these beers. π¦Ύπ»
@moira something something JD Vance
I really do think this is one of Corman's best films. I don't mean technically or structurally, just in sheer gonzo bullshit.
But that said, I must repeat:
That was a bad movie, but a good for Monsterdon movie.
#Monsterdon #DeathRace2000
All assassins immediately must be the new president. Itβs the law.
Best bad movie in a LONG time. Well done, #monsterdon !

Well, this was pretty messed-up. Thanks @Taweret and the whole field of #monsterdon tooting competitors!
NARRATION, *NOW*?
That's what we love! VIOLENCE VIOLENCE VIOLENCE!
#monsterdon #deathrace2000
The announcer guy reminds me a lot of a character portrayed by Eric Idle on Monty Pythonβs Flying Circus. I canβt remember which sketch it was, though.
The pen knife is mightier than the sword
Honestly I feel like we've been shortchanged in the gadget department
I like how theyβre not really concerned with scoring pointsβ¦ theyβre just driving
I won a spelling bee for hate once
@lysdexic if he got his hand blessed by a priest it would be a holy hand hand grenade #Monsterdon
#monsterdon I'm kind of irked, not a single pothole anywhere to be found. 1975, when the roads were newβ¦.
@jonny aged like avocado
This movie is very dumb. And violent and satirical and offensive. But kinda fun. For a 70s movie anyway.
#Monsterdon #DeathRace2000
#monsterdon HAhahaha... hand-grenade. That was awful, I salute it.
"How can you possibly expect me to act? To deliver lines in a believable manner with a facsimile of human emotion?!"
A HAND GRENADE!!!
#monsterdon #deathrace2000
did david carradine deradicalize her by just driving fast and doing exactly the thing that she has dedicated her life to opposing or what #monsterdon
oh no someone died
damn it i'm out of potatoes. sure could go for a baked one right about now
Even more 70s boob scenes? Dang movie.
#Monsterdon #DeathRace2000
David Carradine was already in Kung Fu at this point! How could the fight scene be so BAD?!
you know, people have written fight music, you could have just used some of that
interrupting a man in the middle of his bare hotdog #monsterdon
Classic #Monsterdon
