Death Race 2000
Death Race 2000 is a 1975 cult political satire action film directed by Paul Bartel, and starring David Carradine, Simone Griffeth and Sylvester Stallone. The film takes place in a dystopian American society in the year 2000, where the murderous Transcontinental Road Race has become a form of national entertainment. The screenplay is based on the short story The Racer by Ib Melchior.
At first, the Resistances plan works. Nero is killed when he runs over a boobytrapped doll planted by the Resistance, which he mistakes for a real baby and proceeds to run it over to gain points. Matilda drives off a cliff while following a fake detour set up by the Resistance. Calamity Jane inadvertently drives over a land mine. This leaves only Frankenstein and Machine Gun Joe in the race.As Frankenstein nonchalantly survives every attempt made on his life during the race, Annie comes to discover that the Frankenstein she knows is anything but a willing government stooge, nor is he the original man. The current Frankenstein is, in fact, one of a number of random wards of the state trained exclusively to race in the identity. When one is used up, they bring in another, he tells Annie. The current Frankenstein also reveals that he has his own plans when he wins the race and shakes hands with Mr. President, he will detonate a grenade which has been implanted in his prosthetic right hand he calls it his hand grenade, which he has kept concealed by keeping his glove on at all times even while undressed. His plan goes awry, however, when Machine Gun Joe attacks and Annie kills him using Frankensteins hand grenade. ........
