Cult-classic Death Race 2000 | Cinema Minima

by

Don’t forget THIS SUNDAY is the screening of Death Race 2000 at Cole’s for Cinema Minima.

“Death Race 2000!
(1975, 80 minutes, directed by Paul Bartel)
Sunday, February 3 at 8pm

This high energy cult classic is Cinema Minima’s antidote to this year’s Super Bowl. A Roger Corman production, directed by Paul Bartel, Death Race 2000! stars David Carradine, Sylvester Stallone, and Simone Griffeth. Taking you on a transcontinental race across a dystopian American landscape in the year 2000, Death Race plummets through it’s spectators with unapologetic fury, in this murderous form of national entertainment. Based on the short story The Racer by Ib Melchior and homaged by such films as Quentin Tarantino’s Death Proof, this 1975 cult classic aims to please those with an unusual taste for retrofitted excitement.
