''Death Race 2000'' is a 1975 action movie from the mind of the king of [[{{BMovie}} B-movies]] himself, RogerCorman, based off the short story ''The Racer'' by Ib Melchior. Although RogerEbert gave this movie zero stars when he reviewed it, the campy style, over-the-top mayhem and fantastic actors (David Carradine and SylvesterStallone for starters) have made this movie into one of the definitive examples of a CultClassic, and should definitely be watched by anyone with the slightest interest in just sitting back, relaxing and just enjoying some mindless fun with some wonderful set-pieces in play.
Received [[DeathRace a remake]] in 2008, which went for the DarkerAndEdgier option, and set itself up as a semi-prequel. The cinematic SpiritualSuccessor to ''Death Race 2000'', however, was not the official remake, but TheAsylum's [[TheMockbuster Mockbuster]] ''DeathRacers'', which retained the dark comedy of ''Death Race 2000''.

[[caption-width-right:288:Oooohhh...[[CompletelyMissingThePoint that'll knacker the suspension...]]]]
In a dystopian society in the distant future ([[{{Zeerust}} At the time]]) of the [[TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture year 2000]], a new national sport was declared. A group of specifically selected professional racecar drivers are selected to take part in a race...with a twist - instead of seeing who can make it to the finish line, the competitors are required to score points by [[KillEmAll running over as many people as possible]], with different levels of points allocated to different age groups ([[DeadBabyComedy Guess which type gets the second-highest addition to your score...]]). The competitor with the highest score wins. [[{{Carmageddon}} Sound familiar?]]
''Death Race 2000'' is a 1975 action movie from the mind of the king of [[{{BMovie}} B-movies]] himself, RogerCorman, based off the short story ''The Racer'' by Ib Melchior. Although RogerEbert gave this movie zero stars when he reviewed it, the campy style, over-the-top mayhem and fantastic actors ([[KillBill David Carradine]] and SylvesterStallone, anyone?) have made this movie into one of the definitive examples of a CultClassic, and should definitely be watched by anyone with the slightest interest in just sitting back, relaxing and just enjoying some mindless fun with some wonderful set-pieces in play.
Received [[DeathRace a remake]] in 2008, which went for the DarkerAndEdgier option, and set itself up as a semi-prequel. The cinematic SpiritualSuccessor to ''Death Race 2000'', however, was not the official remake, but TheAsylum's [[TheMockbuster Mockbuster]] ''DeathRacers'', which retained the dark comedy of ''Death Race 2000''.
