Hey y'all! Never heard of this before. It was made before I was born so maybe that's why?
Let's get to it. #Monsterdon #DeathRace2000 ๐๏ธ ๐ฅ
completely forgot about #monsterdon or even that it was sunday. i will have to go back and watch Death Race 2000
Frodo's taking a time-out to write his memoirs
"oh shit... we ordered wine... and we just got a dwarf instead!?!"
just think about all the sewage that town produces....
he freed their bodies... now he gotta free their MINDS, man....
ffs these Dwarfs are nothing but a burden...just cut yer losses, Fro'
Frodo, buddy... you waltz into the Spider's turf, and then you kill them for just doing Spider things....
yeah boys, zig-zag. that'll do it.
Too bad he didn't get the Ring of GetThaFuckOuttaThere
WOAH! His buddies are being dissolved alive! They're like Mummified!!?!
nice going with that Lightsaber, bud...
Frodo's tripping out, man
they should make spears, and form a square!
Woah! Grandolf just gave Frodo a diploma!
John Candy is still funny though
hey, ya think this guy's singing in English? Or is this Elvenish or Dwarfen or something?
Yeah, Grandolf! Take that ring all the way to the volcano!
Grandolf oughta like make a castle for them or something....
Frodo's making up some BS about where he's been all day...
the frog is like, learning that he's too attached to material things....
frog, buddy... you oughta just shave all your hair off at this point....
#monsterdon #hobbitDopeSmoker Oh god I remember this South Park D:
the skeletons are like all the people who tried to Free themselves of their Illusions.... but FAILED
RE: https://mastodon.murkworks.net/@RobynGoodfellow/115840355343809558
I was not expecting this to be competitive, I was expecting BEAR
but otoh, nazi blowed up so
I can see it
"woah, turn off that light, man! it's just too much!!!"
...they are discoursing on the Nature of Reality....
@kcarr2015 @yatsu OMG! It has Jason Statham in it!
One last one: I love when we do #monsterdon movies that have Man or Astroman samples in them. #deathrace2000
@LingLass @Taweret @Cherizilla @JoeWynne The whole broadcast-announcer bit made me think an awful lot of the Hunger Games.
he's FREED them, man! He's Freed them... and he's leading them out of the TUNNEL
wait, John Landis had a cameo?
woah... it's like HE MAN.....
@yatsu
It's got sequels!
Despite the blood, that was a refreshingly optimistic and exceedingly 70s take on America. Timely, but dopey. Commercially competitive, but earnest. Glad to have finally seen it. Thanks, @Taweret, @Cherizilla and @JoeWynne and co. #Monsterdon.
woah... I hope no cartoon horses were hurt in the making of this movie....
(also, for anyone else still wondering, Frankenstein's doctor, way back at the beginning? he was one of the camp councilors in Piranha. he also directed Death Race 2000.)
For those of you scrolling through your timeline, you're about to hit a big mass of Monsterdon postings about Death Race 2000 (1975) and the second, Wrong Frogs feature.
Should you not wish to read through them, here's how to filter them out, at least on the web browser:
1) right click on the gears & open in a new tab
2) choose "Filters" then "Add New Filter"
3) give the filter a title, check all boxes under contexts, choose hide completely and put "#Monsterdon" in the keyword box.
4) Click on "Save New Filter"
... and you're done.
@apLundell Not this maverick #monsterdon
Big thanks to @Taweret for hosting tonight's Monsterdon!
(Ib Melchior wrote & directed Angry Red Planet, if the name sounded familiar)
Smoking, no coffee, and gratuitous use of facial yogurt. Goofy and violent. Two thumbs up.
@geonz @apLundell @Taweret your loss #monsterdon
I enjoyed that on roughly the same level as Crank. Extremely stupid but it committed 100% #monsterdon
Interesting that no one commented on the US being run from palaces in Moscow and Beijing.
But granted, that was very early in the movie and a lot was happening at the time . . .
Hah! We made #DeathRace2000 trend on Mastodon over the course of #Monsterdon!
So I think I figured out why helmet man got rid of the death race once he became president Frankenstein.
He remembered how he got that position in the first place.
Hint: he wasnโt elected.
Behold my #letterboxd review of this weird, weird feature. Two exploding stars https://letterboxd.com/anderson_petaq/film/death-race-2000/
#monsterdon
OMG, Frankenstein just killed the President, he's in league with the French!
Double bingo! Thanks, @cherizilla for the card and @Taweret for hosting!
I'M SORRY IAN MCSHANE WAS IN IT???
๐ฆ#MONSTERDON Goodbye!
โค๏ธ Thank you @Taweret for hosting this racy rally!
๐ ฑ๏ธ and thanks @cherizilla for the Bingo card! My favorite: Harsh Insult!
๐๏ธ and more thanks to @paco for data analysis and @combatwombat for the replays.
๐ฆAnd to all the members of the Real Time Film Analysis Squad: You made it to the finish line and all your victims are strewn along the road. They died laughing.
Paul Frees! Don Messick! And other old voice actors.
#Monsterdon #TheHobbitonWeed
@apLundell @Taweret he didn't force it upon us! #monsterdon is a democracy
(okay, i was about to sign off, but like, wait, was there a remake/reboot of this movie in 2008??? what the actual--
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0452608/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_8_nm_0_in_0_q_death%2520race
Also, my Bingo card at the end:
@moira i really love how it just crashes through a whole scifi universe just barely explaining anything but giving enough that you can fill in the picture in all the time spent just sorta vrooming around #monsterdon
And that's another #Monsterdon in the can. Thanks as always to @Taweret for putting all this together.
Have a great night all! :)
#monsterdon and to think, this is the first Monsterdon of 2026
i can only imagine what we've got coming up next
This movie fucked off into the road, where it started in the first place. Thanks to the usual suspects who were all unfortunately killed by the French Air Force. @Taweret , @Cherizilla , @JoeWynne , @paco ,
and all of #monsterdon.
I think that movie ran over itself
Thanks as always @Taweret for hosting and everybody for posting! See you next week!
Well, thank you @Taweret for hosting yet another great #Monsterdon
This was the cerebral film I needed to kickstart my semester. See you all next week!
Iโm actually really digging the model and effects work in this.
And that's it for me. Some good bodies on display, a startlingly good movie for a Monsterdon, and I got my nails done in the mean time. Now time to go finish that Werewolf Romance novel I was reading. #Monsterdon
Thanks to @Taweret for hosting as always! #monsterdon #DeathRace2000
I think I needed to be in the correct headspace to get the satire.
A couple of laugh out loud moments, but mostly just baffled by musical choices, and not particularly engaged otherwise.
Still better to watch it with you all.
Till next time, thank you for your toots, and thanks @Taweret for hosting.
@Terencio ๐
#Monsterdon
Time for some dope smoking hobbits! #monsterdon
Shoulda been a pre-movie feature: Viperdriver - Driftrider (Anime AMV):
hand grenade.
"Hey, let me lend you a hand... grenade."
Well, as Mr. and Mrs. President Frankenstein fucked off into sweeping governmental reform, I too shall fuck off into... maybe get some dinner, maybe start Foundation? Goodnight #monsterdon, drive safe, thank @Taweret for hosting, and happy new year!
#monsterdon great Monsterdon movie*, I could barely post I was watching it so much
*not the same as a great movie
And now Gandalf smells that good weed so he's come to town.
Oh this guitar riff is LOUD.
#Monsterdon #TheHobbitonWeed
fuck car-centric society
@moira Apparently Mr President was savaged by Minitel as a child #monsterdon #DeathRace2000
Chekhov's violins #monsterdon
Wait what the fuck why is Synanon thanked in the credits????
#Monsterdon #DeathRace2000 well, it sort of had a plot! things happened more or less in sequence! there was uncomfortable amounts of nudity and leather fetishwear! everything you could want from the 1970s
good night everyone :D
LOL, Tubi wants to show me โHell Comes to Frogtownโ next. The French are at it again! #Monsterdon
Something about that ending reminds me of the โLove Conquers Allโ cut of Brazilโcompletely terrible and nothing like what the director intended.
The moral of the story is that if you were looking to 2026 to be an improvement on 2025 #monsterdon you may need to recalibrate your expectations
That was .... something.
#Monsterdon #DeathRace2000
well, that was VIOLENT
@paco Basically just like now
โSure itโs violent! But thatโs why we love it!โ
This movie is amazing, and I am sorry I missed so much of it.
Itโs absolutely ridiculous.
So, here's another silly little monster story and #Monsterdon appeal for Sabi?
MechaLadybug 2
Thanks, y'all. DM me if you want access to the PDF.
Hey y'all #Monsterdon before you go? A silly little monster story and appeal for Sabi?
DM me if you want the pdf version.
I give you, MechaLadybug part 2
And with that, the last score of the race, we bid a fond adieu to #DeathRace2000 and the first #monsterdon of 2026. Thanks for tuning in, even though Iโm bad at this, heh. Iโll get better eventually.
lmao i still can't remember where i saw this the first time but it's so great and forever relevant. thanks @Taweret and friends, see you next time #monsterdon #deathrace2000
Wheel thank goodness that's over, it was driving me nuts
SORRY
Thanks for the laughs everyone! :D
Thanks @Taweret for hosting!
wait wait: wasn't she the ยทgrandmotherยท earlier? but now she's "great" grandmother?
The LP cover-art style front and back piece that frame the movie looks like something i would've sketched in middle school.
Algorithm feeding me a Jacoby & Meyers ad. Because car smash movie I assume.
Love a movie that makes me ask at the end "What the fuck did I just watch?"
And honestly, I'd watch it again. The very highest of camp!
from a story by ib melchior??? dare i?
Thank goodness. Bye Junior. And that's that. A happy ending after all. Thanks @Taweret for hosting. Have a great week Beautiful Mutants! #Monsterdon #DeathRace2000
Ib Melchior has so much to answer for #Monsterdon
Surprise, you were in history-of-violence class all along! It was all a dream
