* BloodSport: Niki states that there is a 20% chance of death every race, a bit of an exaggeration, but still a very dangerous sport and we see graphic instances of death and serious injury during the movie. TruthInTelevision as the 1970’s was a particularly dangerous time due to the addition of wings to cars adding downforce allowing for much faster speeds, especially in turns. Tracks and safety standards did not keep up with the increase in speed and in fact [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Formula_One_fatalities 12 FI drivers]] were killed during the decade. While safety standards have been increased considerably since the events of the film and deaths are becoming less common, they are certainly not gone, with top drivers across many series like [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayrton_Senna Ayrton Senna]], [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dale_Earnhardt Dale Earnhardt]], [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Wheldon Dan Wheldon]], and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Kalitta Scott Kalitta]] dying in crashes since standards were raised.
