#Death race 2000 trailer movie#

The film is directed by Roger Corman, the storied 90-year-old independent producer and director who made the original film over four decades ago.

Adults in the prime of life areВ merely worth ten points, while senior citizens are worth 50 points each. Fins, spikes, and other sharp, metallic objects help each team score as many points as possible. None of this matters in 2050, though, and the racers are sitting behind the wheel of cars specifically modified to inflict as much damage as possible to innocent bystanders. Pedestrians stand a better chance of surviving an impact with a car today than ever before thanks to modern safety standards that dictate what a car can and canвЂ™t look like, and thanks to tech features like automatic emergency braking (AEB). Eight racers line up at the starting grid to participate in a deadly, highly-speed jaunt across the nation called simply Death Race. ItвЂ™s been re-namedВ the United Corporations of America, and the states have been replaced by bigger regions with satirical names such as Onepercentia, Gasarcana, and Pharmatopia. The movieвЂ™s official trailer reveals that the United States of America no longer exists in 34 yearsвЂ™ time.

The movie is scheduled to come outВ early next year.

Death Race 2000, however,В has become a cult classic, so itвЂ™s not surprising that a remake named Death Race 2050 is in the works. The new millennium has come and gone and motorists still get jail time instead of Grand Theft Auto-style bonus points if they plow down a pedestrian. In fact, they would constitute the national sport, and a way to get bonus points while participating in a fictitious event named the Transcontinental Road Race. The 1975 film Death Race 2000В was based on the premise that hit-and-run incidents would no longerВ be illegal in the year 2000. Featuring David Carradine at the height of his Kung Fu fame (and Sylvester Stallone a year before Rocky), Death Race 2000 was a major drive-in hit in 1975 Bartel and Carradine teamed up for another road race movie, Cannonball, a year later, and a semi-sequel, Death Sport, appeared in 1978. However, not everyone likes the Death Race, and revolutionary leader Thomasina Paine ( Harriet Medin) wants to sabotage the event in the name of restoring democracy her plan is to foil Frankenstein's expected victory by smuggling her daughter Annie ( Simone Griffeth) into Frankenstein's race car as his navigator.

Aspiring champions Machine Gun Joe Viterbo ( Sylvester Stallone), Calamity Jane ( Mary Woronov), Nero the Hero ( Martin Kove), and Matilda the Hun ( Roberta Collins) are all looking to take the top honors away from Frankenstein ( David Carradine), a half-man/half-machine who has been built to be the best racer on Earth and can outrun and outkill anyone on the circuit. President ( Sandy McCallum), who, in order to satisfy the masses' need for entertainment (and to quench their thirst for violence), has created a new national sport - the Death Race, a nationwide road rally in which the winner is not determined by who finishes first, but by who scores the most points along the way by running over hapless pedestrians. In the not-so-distant future, the United States has become a totalitarian regime overseen by the charming but sinister Mr. Cult hero Paul Bartel directed this low-budget satire in which America's passion for cars, violence, and sporting events are finally brought together in one convenient package.
