Are we supposed to care what happens in this Death Race?

#Monsterdon

Dutch Angle Car Race
#monsterdon #deathrace2000

NO ONE IS WEARING A SEATBELT! Death race indeed. #Monsterdon #DeathRace2000

I thought that was John Hurt as the president for a sec and that would've been wild. #monsterdon

This is a story of what happens when America doesn't elect Reagan #monsterdon

"Once more, I give you what you want" has definite meme potential

Let's hope a certain someone doesn't watch this and get any more great ideas...

#Monsterdon #DeathRace2000

#monsterdon OMFG how many ads are there on tubi?

MR P LOVES YOU
#monsterdon #DeathRace2000

#Monsterdon #DeathRace2000 i love calamity jane's bedazzled helmet

boobs #monsterdon #deathrace2000

the thing about this movie is that you don't really need any plot or exposition because the plot is "death race" and the movie happens to be named "death race" #monsterdon

This might be an authoritarian hell-hole, but at least it's got circuses!

#Monsterdon #DeathRace2000

@brooke what is it with the midwest & nazis…

#monsterdon

"The fertile field of minority privilege" - that's exactly where the golden key gets you

#monsterdon
#DeathRace2000

I could barely tell this #Monsterdon was supposed to be in the future except for the fabulous matte painting background

I mean seeing as Reagan won in 80 the USA collapse in 79 makes a lot of sense
#monsterdon

I distrust monochromatic suits in movies

Except in The Matrix where it's awesome

#Monsterdon #DeathRace2000

#Monsterdon #DeathRace2000

It's a good thing this movie has no modern parallels in reality.

We have smoking!

#Monsterdon #DeathRace2000

The background, futuristic city mattes are pretty cool.

#Monsterdon

Half these cars look like barely-modded Stingrays, don't they?

#monsterdon

But wait. How are the Nazis part of this society? That's weirder to me than the guy w/ prosthetic limb upgrades. #Monsterdon

pit stops? wimps

#Monsterdon #DeathRace2000

"I give you what you want"

THE END

⁉️ DEATH TRIVIA 2000🪦🚗🏁

Roger Corman and Robert Thom wrote the initial scripts that Director Paul Bartel called "unshootable."

Even Corman called his version "kind of vile." Charles Griffith rewrote it with more satire and camp.

Thus, the film we see today is an unusual race between political satire and brutal violence.

#DeathRace2000

New York has transparent transit tubes like New New York #monsterdon

Also, glad to hear the National Anthem played by my kid nephew on a Moog….and they’re off!

#monsterdon #DeathRace2000

OMG. Stallone.
#monsterdon

"Hey, can you do a Howard Cosell voice?"
#monsterdon #DeathRace2000

#monsterdon lol less of a matte painting and more of a matte courtroom sketch

Simone Griffeth as Annie Smith is giving Julie Hagerty in Airplane!

#Monsterdon #DeathRace2000

Kramer?

#Monsterdon #DeathRace2000

"the world crash of '79" that's a year early for reagan's election

#monsterdon #DeathRace2000

Frankenstein, Rocky, and John Kreese. Who will win? #Monsterdon

I can't believe it's not The Fortress of Solitude

#monsterdon

...the fertile field of minority privilege?!

#monsterdon

They don't make guys like this announcer anymore

Or, more specifically, they don't make the drugs he is on a cocktail of

#Monsterdon

And now on to the trippy part of the film. #DeathRace2000 #Monsterdon

Hoooboy. Talk about some bad synths there for the president's background music. Wowee....

#Monsterdon

It's Immortan Joe! #monsterdon #DeathRace2000

That announcer’s teeth have jaundice.

#Monsterdon

ARE BAD PRESIDENTS ALWAYS ORANGE????

#Monsterdon

Didn't I see this scene in Idiocracy? #Monsterdon

George Lucas working the TV set as the NY Monorail swings by… #monsterdon #DeathRace2000

MY CHILDREN
#monsterdon #deathrace2000

"Death Race: When someone tries to race you, not because of who you are, but for different reasons altogether!"

#Monsterdon

“It’s Mister Frankenstein!”

“Actually, that’s *Doctor* Frankenstein, to you.”

#Monsterdon

"That's a nice matte job," I said, lying.

#monsterdon #DeathRace2000

#Monsterdon #DeathRace2000 the matte paintings of the city are amazing

It's a nice matte shot but that suspended train did _not_ work

#monsterdon #DeathRace2000

"creamed and reamed" -this movie

#monsterdon

Just watched First Blood on Friday. All he wanted was lunch......#monsterdon

Ah, that is exactly what NYC looks like!
#monsterdon

Frankenstein drives an alligator car because....
...
...
...logic? Uh I guess? Or something

#monsterdon #DeathRace2000

and, cosplaying with Vector's car from Sonic Racing, it's Frankenstein!

#monsterdon

So as someone who loves silly innuendo with friends and after two sips of someone else's drink at game night is nothing but bad puns and "that's what she said" jokes, I'm super annoyed that they're mixing my brand of terrible humor with Nazis, like knock that off you asshats, you're making me look bad

#Monsterdon #DeathRace2000

@tuckerm it's actually partial face paralysis (for real)

#monsterdon

Half a face…and half the car bisected by that dinosaur spine… #monsterdon #DeathRace2000

The green car has teef.
#Monsterdon

I seem to remember "The Caves of Androzani" being better, and....not played by David Carradine.

#monsterdon #deathrace2000

Godzilla car?

#Monsterdon #DeathRace2000

Okay, that car with teeth is hilarious! #Monsterdon

Why is the announcer dressed like he's hosting Wild Kingdom?
#monsterdon #DeathRace2000

#Monsterdon #DeathRace2000

Hal a face and half a chest and all the guts in the world!!

OK, Machine Gun Joe looks just a bit familar. :D

#monsterdon

Ugh. Stallone.
Let's hope he doesn't have any more speaking parts.
#Monsterdon

..."Creamed and reamed"? #Monsterdon

Mario Kart with stereotypes.

#Monsterdon #DeathRace2000

Frankenstein sounds like he really loves what he does #Monsterdon here.

This announcer is giving it his all and more

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon "i packed you a medical kit and some Gatorade for the race"

Creamed and reamed, you say #monsterdon

Ooh, cyborgs are good!

#Monsterdon #DeathRace2000

Yes. This man's outstretched arms are definitely the thing stopping all those reporters from getting to the driver.
#monsterdon

well, Joe Viturbo is a _terrible_ shot, apparently

#monsterdon

Wow.

Even in 75, Stallone was already typecast…

#Monsterdon #DeathRace2000

Shouldn’t that be Frankenstein’s Monster The Indestructible? #monsterdon #DeathRace2000

Adrian!!! #Monsterdon

Sylvester Stallone, five years old. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Adrian!

That shot got him the role in Rambo

#monsterdon #DeathRace2000

Machine Gun Joe invented the concept of getting ratioed

#Monsterdon

Rambo, First Gear

#Monsterdon #DeathRace2000

normalize "welcome welcome welcome welcome welcome" as a chant for real #monsterdon

#monsterdon convenient that plucked brows and frosted eyeshadow came back in the 90s eh

actually it's Frankenstein's navigator, Frankenstein was actually the-- #monsterdon

EEEYYYYYY IT'S STALLONE

#monsterdon #DeathRace2000

How does Sylvester Stallone drive at night with those Thompsons… #monsterdon #DeathRace2000

giant hood-mounted knife

#Monsterdon

the...bayonet-mobile is A CHOICE

#monsterdon

i mean i really don't see much difference from reality #monsterdon #deathrace2000

F's in the audience

#Monsterdon #DeathRace2000

"Loved by thousands hated by millions" great line. #Monsterdon #DeathRace2000

It’s like a tableau of famous faces from the 80s, just on the verge of figuring out how to act! #Monsterdon

Loved by thousands, hated by millions!
#monsterdon #deathrace2000

So it's like if NASCAR and pro wrestling had a baby. #monsterdon

LOVED BY THOUSANDS HATED BY MILLIONS #monsterdon #DeathRace2000

that was a rough first 5 minutes to miss, the intro in this movie rules #monsterdon
