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!
what in the actual ... what is this voiceover ... what ... uh ...
@ricci Maybe a cat walked across the keyboard? 🤷♀️
#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
the treacherous French! 🇫🇷
@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
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 Tubi…
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.

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. 🦾🍻
@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:
All assassins immediately must be the new president. It’s 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 Python’s Flying Circus. I can’t 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 they’re not really concerned with scoring points… they’re 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 new….
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.
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
David Carradine was already in Kung Fu at this point! How could the fight scene be so BAD?!
interrupting a man in the middle of his bare hotdog #monsterdon
Classic #Monsterdon
David Carradine would have so many bugs in his teeth by now
#monsterdon LOL. Okay, that's a great ?ripoff? of Coyote and Road-Runner would be proud. LOL.
This was some Wile E. Coyote operation
#monsterdon #deathrace2000
My favorite part of this movie so far is the application of the Hanna-Barbera sound effect library
of all of the chase music ever made this is not some of it
It's so obvious why she fell for him, he's such a sweetheart
You know what I preferred when the characters cared less about what was going on and why
Penitent congressmen? That'll be the day 😂
@plaidtron3000 who funded this thing? I feel cocaine may have been involved. #monsterdon
The Bi-Partisan Party
#monsterdon #deathrace2000
DOUBLE BINGO #Monsterdon #DeathRace2000
so of course in the political reality that surrounds the action of the movie, one must imagine that the death race started as a way for local paramilitaries and militias to round up undesirables and sacrifice them in the name of sport, and the only reason the race is relatively peaceful and kills are opportunistic is because the continual purge has "cleared the field" so to speak. so vigilante violence and the death race largely supplanted police as the primary mechanism of social order, which is why running the death race is the primary political achievement and promise of the ruling authoritarian regime.
So that fangirl really is in a lineage of fascist paramilitaries, where the fanclubs would round people up to sacrifice to maximize their preferred racer's score.
The first stallone I saw was in Woody Allen's Bananas(1971). #monsterdon
Happy Euthanasia Day to all who are celebrating!#MonsterdonSavesEuthanasiaDay
THX1138 this room is not.
F for what the Fuck is happening right now
@paco as close as we will get in this film
I'm glad the fake blood is bright mercurochrome paint so I'm not grossed out by realistic gore 😂
slapstick-ass BOINK sound effect to accompany a kill, wow
THOMASINA PAYNE
@ohiofi has euthanasia day become too commercialized #monsterdon #deathrace2000
hey would you like to go for a picnic on the day of the Death Race? the park should be empty, it'll be just us!
"hr hr hr" >_> #Monsterdon
whomst among us does not wish to flirt with death and her bull-themed car with no possibility of gain
First Blood!
@_L1vY_ TBH they could also get on I-80 and drive straight for 3000 miles
