DEATH RACE 2000 - Paul Chihara - "The Future Is Now" (1975)

I have been trying to get a copy of "Death Race 2000" for a couple of years now, and out of the blue it appears in my Netflix Que, and it happened at the same time that I got the latest issue of SCREEM with Greg Goodsell's Mary Woronov interview, and she's one of the stars of this film! It's like Fate I tell you!!

"Death Race 2000" is exactly what it says it is! It's just like going to Vegas and playing War, the simplest card game in the world, the biggest attraction of the future is like a game of Chicken, but with armed cars and extra points for hitting people in a crosswalk or a wheelchair etc! The killer-diller driving music in this insane flick was composed by the honoured Mr. Paul Chihara in his first film outing. Paul has won scores of musical awards and went on to write the music for such films and TV movies as "A Walk On The Moon," "Brave New World," and "Penn & Teller Get Killed!"

Instead of an actor, the announcer for the big event, Junior Bruce, is one of the most popular disc jockeys of all time, The Real Don Steele!! Don rocked L.A. hard for over 30 years, and even has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame!!

It might be the future, but some things don't change, and every driver has their diehard fans, and in this movie they literally die hard!!

Commentators Joyce Jameson as Grace Pander and Carle Bensen as Harold get their first look at the driver "Frankenstein!"

Director/Actor Paul Bartel has a small part as Frankie's doctor! Besides directing "Eating Rauol," Paul Bartel left his mark on a whole lot of the best bad and worst good movies of the last 40 years; all-time classic cult faves like "Hollywood Boulevard," "Rock 'n' Roll High School," "Frankenweenie," and one of my all-time favorites, "Get Crazy!!"

Sandy McCallum plays the part of Mr. President, a man you can trust!!

Pretty cool looking future! Don't forget to bring your shades!

They call David (Kung Fu)Carradine's character Frankenstein, because he has been re-assembled a few times after various crashes and racing mishaps!!

It looks an awful lot like sunny California, and the future of the boondocks hasn't changed much in the last 35 years!

On the air, Harold explains the points system!!

Everything is hunky-dory and then, those silly freedom-fighting rebels who are opposed to the great race, take over the airwaves with Harriet Medin as Thomasina Paine, leading the charge!!

Great shot of "Frankenstein!"

Anyone want to disagree with me that Mary Woronov as Calamity Jane is hot in this movie? We haven't had a chance to talk about Mary much here, but she was an incredible classic beauty who came up through the Andy Warhol/Exploding Plastic Inevitable/Velvet Underground school of film making. She also starred in "Silent Night, Bloody Night" which we plan to get around to one of these days, and worked with Paul Bartel on some other films! She was in "House Of The Devil" last year, and still active today, although she'd rather be painting!

I love this part where the French rebels polish off one of the drivers "Wiley Coyote" style, with a mailorder Acme Detour and Fake Tunnel Entrance Kit!!

Here's another reason "Death Race 2000" is such a fan favorite, one of the drivers is Sylvester Stallone as maniac Machine Gun Joe Viterbo, another funny man from Chicago! Machine Gun Joe's character pre-dated "Rocky" by about a year!

Another brilliant scene is when Machine Gun Joe Viterbo takes out his own pit crew to get some extra points! This story was written by science fiction author Ib Melchior, who was also responsible for writing major titles like "Angry Red Planet," "Reptilicus," and "Journey To The 7th Planet" etc.

Never at a loss for words, The Real Don Steele still has something else to say! This is a very simple film, but there's too much to cover in this format, so you're just gonna have to go get yourself a copy. I do believe it has recently been released on Blu-Ray too! What are you waiting for?? There's something here for everybody!!

PELIGRO... MUJERES EN ACCIÓN! - Nadia Milton - Carlos Camacho-Ernesto Cortázar-Nacho Méndez - "Danger Girls" (1969)

You want some action? You want girls? You want to see stuff get blown up? Well, then welcome to Worldwild Wednesday in The Dungeon!

The poster says the title is "Peligro... Mujeres En Acción!" but the title card says "Peligro...!  Mujeres En Acción," and my Mom always taught me to never trust people who didn't know where to put the exclamation mark, so I was just a little leery of this movie right from the start! The English title as released in South Africa is "Danger Girls!"

I counted 12 women's names, and six men's names in the credits, and most all of the women are wearing bathing suits at some point, good and bad alike, not the suits, the demeanor!

Julio Alemán is a real dynamo as Alex Dinamo who reprises his role in a movie made two years earlier called "SOS Conspiracion Bikini!" Julio has 189 acting credits to his name, and astonishingly enough I didn't see one reference to Santo or Blue Demon among them!  Right here he's about to get shot in the back, but he flips the girl around just in time and she takes the shell instead! After he disposes of the guy who tried to shoot him, he doesn't even check on the girl at all!

"Mujeres En Acción!" literally translates to "Women In Action" and that's exactly what you get in this movie, lots of action!

"Danger Girls" is almost two hours long, and scenes like this underwater chase go on for way too long, although for underwater photography, it was done real well!

I'm not 100% sure but I think these two beauties are Barbara Angely and Alma Delia Fuentes!

One trick that Alex Dinamo has up his sleeve is that he carries this high-powered blaster around with him, and he needs it more than once as the odds get stacked up against him!

By the time "Peligro... Mujeres En Acción!" is over, almost every character has got wounded or killed at least once!

There was enough action up to this point that the movie could have ended right here, but instead, it takes off again in another direction! As Alex recuperates, he explains how he didn't like the fat nurses the hospital provided, so he hired his own!

Enter César del Campo as S.O.S. Agent Jack! I think his name should be Chopper! Jack's got this crazy metal hand with one edge that is sharpened to make it even more effective, and when he's not using it, he wears this big mitt on it that looks like a hot pad so it doesn't look so obvious!

So, here you go, here's the part you've been waiting for.....The new runner-up to Kipp Hamilton's "The Words Get Stuck In My Throat" in the 'best worst' song in a movie department ever,  Nadia Milton as S.O.S. Agent 380, aka Cristal, with "I'll Never Be In Love With You!"  Nadia was a singer in real life, so I have no doubt it's her vocals, and the writing credits go to Carlos Camacho, Ernesto Cortázar, and Nacho Méndez, and believe me, it takes at least three guys to write a song like this! So just who is this Nadia Milton anyway?  Nadia was born in Italy, then her family moved to Chile! She was involved in the so-called "new wave" of Chilean music during the 1960s, and she toured as Amalia, before ending up in Mexico! Nadia was also in a few more interesting Mexican películas like "Santo Contra Los Cazadores De Cabezas"(Santo Vs The Headhunters), and a movie I've yet to see, but sounds very tasty, "Tacos Al Carbón!" Hell Yeah!!

To find out more about Nadia Milton, go this Peruvian Record Store Web Site where you can buy this 45 for eight bucks!! I'm sure it's worth every centavo!!

Although there's a nice round of applause, Chopper doesn't appear to be much of a music fan, and doesn't seem very entertained by that number at all! In fact, it made him downright uptight!

Alex has a couple of nifty gadgets at his disposal, like this mini tape recorder he uses as a distraction to get himself out of a jam!

Jeez, is it that late already? I was just getting started!!

Oh Well, still got time for one more shot of this Chopper jerk-off before he gets what's coming to him!!

Alex is tough! One of the last tries to get rid of him is by Rosa Maria Rodriguez as S.O.S. Agent Monique! I'm not really sure why Monique doesn't have a number, but that's just how mysterious this movie is! "Danger Girls" and Cult Action go hand in hand, so if you're looking for action and adventure, that's about the most exciting place I know that you can go to, have a good time, and not get killed! Adios Amigos!!
