6.9/10on IMDb

Death Race 2000 (1975)
6.2/10on IMDb
Released
The race makes better sense as a TV event than as an ordinary competition. Announcers sell the drivers as celebrities and narrate the carnage as though they’re calling a ball game. That broadcast routine is what makes the satire so sour.

The Ultimate Warrior (1975)
5.6/10on IMDb
