Otto, a baby-face punk played by Emilio Estevez,

populated by hoods, wackos, burnouts, conspiracy
theorists, and aliens of every stripe. It may seem
chaotic at first glance, but there's a
"latticework of coincidence" (as Tracey Walter
puts it) underlying everything. Repo Man is a key
American movie of the 1980s--just as Taxi Driver,
Nashville, and Chinatown are key American movies

features Iggy Pop, Fear, Black Flag, Circle Jerks,
and Suicidal Tendencies. --Jim Emerson  Death Race
2000 No doubt about it, Death Race 2000 is one of
the greatest B-movies ever made. A crown jewel in
the career of B-movie king Roger Corman, it's a
sublime example of exploitative filmmaking from a
time when Corman's low-budget quickies were about
to be swept aside by the blockbuster success of
Jaws and Star Wars, and all of its outrageous
ingredients combined to create a schlock-movie
masterpiece. Liberally infused with director Paul
Bartel's macabre sense of humour, Corman's
mandatory formula for success (R-rated violence
and nudity, served up at least once every 15
minutes) is zanily applied to a near-future
scenario (similar to Rollerball, also released in
1975) in which a fascist empire appeases its
oppressed citizens with "Death Race 2000," an
automotive spectacle in which five costumed racers
drive wacky race cars cross-country from New York
to "New Los Angeles," scoring points with
hit-and-run killings awarded on a sliding scale,
with highest points for hitting children and the
elderly! In addition to "Calamity Jane" (played by
former Andy Warhol acolyte Mary Woronov), "Matilda
the Hun" (Roberta Collins), and "Nero the Hero"
(Martin Kove), the hottest contestants are
"Machine Gun" Joe Viturbo (Sylvester Stallone, on
the verge of Rocky stardom) and the reigning
champion "Frankenstein" (David Carradine), whose
"Death Race" prowess has reached near-mythic
proportions. --Jeff Shannon  Duel This is the TV
movie that put Steven Spielberg on the map,
shortly before he made The Sugarland Express.
Working from a script by Richard Matheson, the
film stars Dennis Weaver as a mild-mannered
traveling salesman who unintentionally angers the
driver of a semi truck. Suddenly, the truck is not
only riding his tail but trying to run him off the
road. No matter what he does (pulling over,
stopping at a diner, calling the cops), he can't
get rid of it. Spielberg makes the wise decision
of never showing the driver, even as he cranks the
voltage on the film's suspense elements. As a
result, the truck itself takes on an air of
satanic menace--even a personality of sorts--as it
seems to hunt its human prey. Spielberg made a lot
out of a little, suggesting just how skilled a
storyteller he would become. --Marshall Fine

Review of Death Race 2000 DVD by masteryoda007

Advantages: Cars, Machine Guns, More Cars,
Disadvantages: A little bit dated

...In a race across America drivers score points for knocking down pedestrians. The more points you have the better your chances of winning. Children, old folks, nobody is safe from this bunch of lunatics. David Carradine and Slyvester Stallone compete in the ham fisted stakes. Stallone particularly is bad in this movie but in this movie bad is good! (Stallones' character is called Smoking Joe Viturbo for chrissakes!) The underlying plot of the people rising up against a thecorrupt government reeks a bit of The Running Man but its themes are still quite relevant. All in all I think Death Race is destined to become a latter day classic. This movie has eveything you need in a movie experience; guys, girls, cars, guns, stupid character names,stunts, crazy plot, cool action and Sly Stallone.... Read review

Paganism updated
Review of The Wicker Man (Classic Collection Box Set) (DVD, CD, Senitype And Booklet) by sublime_sam

Advantages: Unique and classic
Disadvantages: Not for all horror fans

...Made in 1973 by Robert Hardy the wicker man is a chilling insight into ancient paganistic rituals. Set and filmed in the north Scottish island Summerisle, this film was somewhat controversial at the time of it's release and since then has become a cult classic amongst British horror fans. The storyline follows Sgt Howie (Woodward) as a police officer from mainland Scotland who flies to Summerisle to investigate the dissapearance of a young girl. After his first night in Summerisle, Howie discovers that not all is at it seems here, the villagers are suprisingly unhelpful or willing to even acknowledge the cause of the Sgt's visit, and the devout Christian is shocked and stunned to learn that the islands primary religion is Paganism. When i first saw this film, i knew that it wasn't going to be your typical horror, it seems to play... Read review

How Sequels SHOULD Be Made
Review of Once Upon A Time In China II (Subtitled and Dubbed) (Wide Screen) by caydon

Advantages: Builds on everything great about the 1st movie.. and then some
Disadvantages: Again like the 1st movie, cultural/historical significance may not be apparent to all

...of the Manchu. Ok, brief history lesson here folks... while most people would consider China to consist of 1 'race' of people, there are in fact 50 or so distinguishable 'races' within the Chinese people, Han being the predominant (making up over 90%). The Manchu on the other hand, were a nomadic people who - like the Mongols - managed to rule China despite being in great minority. However, unlike the Mongols who knew mainly how to fight, the Manchu cleverly managed to rule China for centuries, despite resentment by the Han people. It is against this background of divide and discontent to which OUATIC2 is set. The movie begins with a powerful scene introducing us to the White Lotus Cult, who can only be described as a Chinese Ku Klux Klan of sorts. The resentment towards foreign oppression magnified support for such groups at the time, who... Read review
