DEATH RACE 2000 (1975). In the new future, a Cross Country Auto Race (Ny to LA) takes place, with added points added to the cars that strike pedestrians. Totally absurd, but lots of fun and David Carradine, fresh off the KUNG FU TV series is pretty cool as "Frankenstein", the reigning champion. An early role for Martin Kove (the mean Sensei from THE KARATE KID) and Mary Woronov is great/gorgeous here. Highlight of the film for Me is a pre-ROCKY Sylvester Stallone, delivering a stand out performance as the arrogant and abrasive "Machine Gun Joe Viterbo". ***1/2
