Death Race 2000 (1975)

"Death Race 2000" is the cult 1975 dystopian action satire built around a cross-country road race where drivers score points by mowing down pedestrians, a gleefully sleazy vision of future America dressed up as B-movie carnage. A young Sylvester Stallone tears through the film as the brutish Machine Gun Joe Viterbo, years before he became a household name, and his early screen presence gives this hub its main draw. William Shephard also appears in the cast lineup rounding out the racers and wreckage. Fans digging through the archive will find 1 scenes of nude content pulled from the film, a brief but notable glimpse of the era's willingness to mix skin with satire.
