In photos: Our 11 favourite killer car movies
Death Race 2000 (1975) Tagline:</b> In the year 2000 hit-and-run driving is no longer a felony. It’s the national sport! <b>Why it’s scary:</b> Death Race 2000 is many things: cornball action flick, cheesy sci-fi movie, cult film. Yet, 40 years later, it also seems perversely prescient in its prediction of reality TV. (ISIS aside, we haven’t devolved to the point where we actually kill people on live TV – yet.) Five drivers compete in the cross-county Death Race, including fashion plate gangster Machine Gun Joe Viturbo and leather-clad Frankenstein (“ripped up, wiped out, battered, shattered, creamed and reamed – a dancer on the brink of death”). But the showstopper carnage car is the Manta Mirage, customized to resemble a bull, complete with razor-sharp horns. Driven by Calamity Jane (Mary Woronov), she isn’t content with merely running over pedestrians – she also likes to gore them.
Why is the door on my new car so difficult to open?
“I worry when I see people fling open doors without looking. I worry about what kind of drivers they are, if they’re so unobservant when they’re sitting still.” – Lorraine Sommerfeld.
