This 1975 Period Piece Still Holds Up I saw this movie on television where the blood and guts were censored, but the spirit of the movie remained intact. This is a deliberately campy movie about a dystopian future in the year 2000, where the dictatorial President holds an annual cross-country race of five cars travelling from one coast to another, the idea being that the cars not only have to complete the race but to run down pedestrians for points.
The contestants for 2000 include Calamity Jane, Matilda the Hun, Nero the Hero, Machine Gun Joe Viterbo (Sylvester Stallone) and Frankenstein (David Carradine), each with a navigator and decorated car with a theme, such as Nero's car decorated to look like a lion. Frankenstein is the favored contestant, having been the sole survivor of the previous years' races. But there is a resistance movement led by Thomasine Paine, descendant of Thomas Paine, whose intentions are to scuttle the race and discredit the President.
An all-around dark satire of politics, repression, revolution, violence, themed entertainment, and it does its job.
