Comment

Critical sour of all the drifts of the american company such as could imagine them a realizer of 1975, Death Race 2000 is often regarded as one of most brilliant films of Série B . Enough visionary, this film imagines the passion of people for the TV-reality, although, pushed here with a certain cruelty.
