Amazon.com video review:
Paul Bartel's 1975 cheap-o satire about a futuristic international
sport--an anything-goes car race where drivers score points for hitting
pedestrians--stars David Carradine as a hero behind the wheel and Sylvester
Stallone as his nemesis. The film is clever and macabre enough as a modernist
satire, but finally overplays its hand in grim, decadent humor. The sets are
gloriously artificial, and former Warhol star Mary Woronov is in sexy, comic
form. A DVD release is available. --Tom Keogh
