Deathrace 2000

Does anybody know if Deathrace 2000 is available on dvd?

Any help is welcome.

Have this one myself:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...v=glance&s=dvd


For the kind of low-budget film it is, it's a great transfer (open matte full-screen, so blow it up to fill a 16x9 screen for a theatrical effect).

Audio is fine, mono, but good fidelity.

Extras: 15 minute or so Roger Corman interview with Leonard Maltin (does Disney know he moonlights on these kind of titles?), the original theatrical trailer, and previews for a few other Corman Classics (no director commentary as Paul Bartel is dead).

Watched this the other night - great nutty flick!

It really is a great movie. I need to get the DVD even though I have it on VHS.

Sure it does! It's certainly not obscure.

I love this movie! I've been meaning to replace my old vhs of this.
Has anyone ever seen the sorta-sequel Deathsport? Is it any good?

True:

It's rumored that Tom Cruise was in talks to update the movie for a big SFX remake, DeathRace 3000.

Hope that's still in the works somewhere!

Haven't seen DeathSport, but looked like a DeathRace type of film from the cover.
