David Carradine would have so many bugs in his teeth by now

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon LOL. Okay, that's a great ?ripoff? of Coyote and Road-Runner would be proud. LOL.

This was some Wile E. Coyote operation

My favorite part of this movie so far is the application of the Hanna-Barbera sound effect library

#Monsterdon

DON'T DROP THE TROUT, WHATEVER YOU DO

#Monsterdon #DeathRace2000

of all of the chase music ever made this is not some of it

#monsterdon

It's so obvious why she fell for him, he's such a sweetheart

#Monsterdon #DeathRace2000

You know what I preferred when the characters cared less about what was going on and why

#monsterdon

Penitent congressmen? That'll be the day 😂

#Monsterdon

@plaidtron3000 who funded this thing? I feel cocaine may have been involved. #monsterdon

The Bi-Partisan Party
#monsterdon #deathrace2000

DOUBLE BINGO #Monsterdon #DeathRace2000

AW YEAH, PROSTHETIC PENIS #Monsterdon

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

F for what the Fuck is happening right now

#Monsterdon

@paco as close as we will get in this film

#monsterdon

I'm glad the fake blood is bright mercurochrome paint so I'm not grossed out by realistic gore 😂

#Monsterdon

slapstick-ass BOINK sound effect to accompany a kill, wow

@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!

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

First Blood!

#monsterdon

@_L1vY_ TBH they could also get on I-80 and drive straight for 3000 miles

#Monsterdon #DeathRace2000

unclear if Machine Gun Joe is firing blanks or actually shooting into the crowd. I can believe either

#Monsterdon

We know who Stephen miller is rooting for in this move

#monsterdon

looking forward to seeing the milwaukee nazis get brutally murdered

#Monsterdon

wait, am I the only one here?!? that's.... that's... freaking me out man, I didn't even like this LOTR stuff....

#monsterdon #BakedPotato #WrongRace

@mdhughes It was the Religious Right movement of the mid-to-late 70s that has led to the New World Order we find ourselves in today. Nancy Reagan was just a symptom.

#monsterdon

Well, that was definitely a movie about a transcontinental rally race, and I have no idea what happened, but the message was definitely that Americans love violence, and it’s heartwarming to know some things haven’t changed in 50 years.

Thanks, as always, to @Taweret for hosting, @cherizilla for #MonsterdonBingo, @JoeWynne for #MonsterdonDrink and #MonsterdonTrivia, @ryan for #MonsterdonStream, and all of you for making it awesome!

#Monsterdon

watching the hobbit dopesmoker edition stream and like oh i never thought of just doing this with a whole album #monsterdon

MIRU dot MIYAKU dot MEDIA !!!!

#monsterdon It wasn't bad, just... terrible.

#monsterdon What the hell is this junk voiceover at the end? That was some truly wild bullshit, to cap this hot pile off. Ah well, it's over. I'm gonna celebrate the deletion command on this one.

Going out on Howard Cosell narration? CINEMA
#Monsterdon #DeathRace2000

Mr. and Mrs. President Frankenstein!

#monsterdon

He dies from... this?
#monsterdon #deathrace2000

#monsterdon Wrecked the telephone system? What? Come on maaan, AT&T did that. Give me a BREAK!

oh my god that tiny knife

#Monsterdon

If he’s won the race twice before, why didn’t he blow up Mr. President then! #Monsterdon

[Acid Jazz intensifies]

#monsterdon #deathrace2000

Hey Roger, we've got a great race track for you. You know it's hip because it's in 3/4 time signature!

#monsterdon

@jonny I guess it's like sad romantic music that... isn't really sad or romantic, mostly just loud?

#Monsterdon

The French Air Force!

If only she’d known how to do a three point turn properly… #Monsterdon #DeathRace2000

Frankenstein there's a damn pill floatin' in here

Oh great, it's turnin' into a dinosaur-shaped sponge

#Monsterdon

When does Muttley show up

#Monsterdon

@moira That lamp had to have been from a mid-century furniture commercial.

#Monsterdon

@moira To be fair, the furniture is a lot more interesting than the sex scene.
#Monsterdon

This President is one sentence short of saying make stuff great again
#monsterdon #deathrace2000

Corman didn't need to shell out the cash for the synchro system that would allow filming TVs without all that banding. It's an aesthetic choice! 🙃

#monsterdon

Oh, just one more thing. [columbo.gif]

#monsterdon

Thank you, mr. stallone

#monsterdon

you callin' ME a turkey?!

#monsterdon

This plan doesn't make any sense
#monsterdon #deathrace2000

@ramsey this film orgiinated it.

#monsterdon

This really is a classic of it's kind. Most 'b' films didn't take on subjects like this. #monsterdon

Car-rection!

#monsterdon

and stephen miller breaks down in tears

#monsterdon

@hollie but where is the sex

#monsterdon

does the start and end location of the race vary year by year? if not, then you would imagine a heavy population shift to the deep south and pacific northwest, which are really far out of the way.

and then at some point in the race's history cars that could go fast enough to make the corner run become a suddenly productive strategy mowing down the last population centers

#monsterdon

carridine is not an attractive man and I feel like this was written with an assumption the actor would be attractive

#monsterdon

"We're a team, remember?"

Oh THAT makes a change, Frank. #Monsterdon

I'm snacking on some charduterie and chicken in a biscuit crackers. #monsterdon

Must resist urge to make an automotive erotic joke...
#Monsterdon #DeathRace2000

#monsterdon David Carradine had to have such a sense of humor for this... we can call it a movie, uhh, but, it'd be better if we could watch it burn by throwing lit matches at it.

@nazokiyoubinbou #monsterdon

He's the Frankenstein of Theseus.

I rescind all criticism of David Carradine's costume. For the love of god put it back on. #monsterdon

I'm sure Frankenstein is on fetlife

#monsterdon #deathrace2000

I'm glad they let us film here before the TJ Maxx moved in

#Monsterdon

@Taweret like Jimmy Durante: "Good night, Mr. Frankenstein... wherever you are"

#monsterdon

Eyes Wide Shut has proved to everyone you can have a mass orgy wearing a mask and costume so there's no excuse, Frankenstein
#monsterdon #deathrace2000

@Binder I couldn't figure out if it was a beverage; or it was actually supposed to be some sort of fluid for his replacement bodyparts…

#monsterdon

I hate this movie, but those bodybuilders are very impressive. #monsterdon

What's the point of a pit stop, this whole FILM is the pits. #Monsterdon

Meanwhile, at the Holiday Inn...

#monsterdon

He's okay, they swapped his head with a porcelain replica at the last second. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #DeathRace2000 is one of a very few movies to get a zero-star rating from Roger Ebert. Ebert reserved zero stars for movies he felt were not only bad, but distinctly immoral. https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/death-race-2000

The hat was so fashionable
#monsterdon #deathrace2000

"meanwhile, innocent people are being slaughtered on our highways"

as opposed to the status quo

#Monsterdon

This was one of the first MAGA training films

#monsterdon

See, the other problem here is that at some point they're going to accidentally start making sense and it's gonna confuse everyone. #Monsterdon

@jivens #monsterdon

It's what you do when you don't have a Flux Capacitor.

is she his r2d2?

#monsterdon

So Carradine had the same "my face must be shown for 80% of the movie" like a modern Marvel actor?
#Monsterdon #DeathRace2000

Are the construction workers not men? They are DEVO!

#monsterdon

haha nice face reveal

#monsterdon

Different routes? I don’t think that’s how intercontinental races work
