Roger Corman’s exploitation classic is a gloriously trashy, satirical romp. In a dystopian future, a cross-country race awards points for killing pedestrians, featuring Sylvester Stallone and David Carradine as rival drivers. And it's pure grindhouse genius, delivering over-the-top violence and pointed social commentary with a wink, proving that low-budget doesn't mean low impact.

This 1975 flick is an absolute OG, pure dystopian chaos, set in a future where car races score points for running over pedestrians. It’s a savage, aggressive critique of media spectacle and fascism, featuring a pre-Rocky Sylvester Stallone. The movie is aggressively campy, super violent, and just doesn't care about being polite. Seriously, it’s a wild ride of over-the-top practical effects and dark humor, a true cult classic that went harder than most. No brakes.
