I'm watching "Death Race" and I've come to the conclusion

[RevolutionaryActs]

that they totally need to make a Twisted Metal movie. For realz. Needles Kane is just begging to be put on the big screen!

:D

1. Have you ever seen the original, "Death Race 2000"?

It's got David Carradine in it (aka Kane from the "Kung Fu" TV series). It also has a youngish Sylvester Stallone, too.

It is one of my favorite B-movies of all time. No lie. ;)

2. I haven't.

David Carradine voiced (guy wore a mask) one of the drivers in this version though. He'll always be Bill from Kill Bill to me though. :D

3. Ah yeah. That's the Generation Gap thingy

That's what I get for growing up in the 1970s, I guess :D

6. Nah

we just put all the old folks out in the road for the drivers to run over and get points from. Thus the term "Death Race" :P

[RevolutionaryActs]

9. HAHAHAHAHA!

You're bad. :P

[kentauros]

10. You should watch the original to get the joke

;)
I won't reveal how sometimes the old folks are "missed" for higher point-making bodies in the road. You just have to see the scene :P

[kentauros]

11. Better yet, here it is!

20. Cool, there's scads of shorts on YouTube from that movie

I know what I'm doing during halftime!

[kentauros]

21. The trailer is funny, too :)

I should look into buying a copy...

[no name no slogan]

13. One of the funnier scenes, too, IMHO

A quote from the movie, regarding the scoring system:

"As the cars roar into Pennsylvania, the cradle of liberty, it seems apparent that our citizens are staying off the streets, which may make scoring particularly difficult, even with this year's rule changes. To recap those revisions: women are still worth 10 points more than men in all age brackets, but teenagers now rack up 40 points, and toddlers under 12 now rate a big 70 points. The big score: anyone, any sex, over 75 years old has been upped to 100 points. "

:crazy:

12. You never saw the movie, did you?

There was a scene where the doctors and nurses at the geriatrics hospital pushed lots of old people out into the middle of the road to be run over by Frankenstein. They called it "Euthanasia Day."

Unfortunately for the doctors and nurses, this year's Frankenstein sympathized with the rebellion, and ran the doctors and nurses over instead of the patients.

[RevolutionaryActs]

19. Nope, but I have been enlightened.

:D

[Mudoria]

30. Ditto... I always think of David Carradine

as Caine, a humble monk on the run who kicks someone's ass during every episode.

[Richard Steele]

7. It's no "Death Race 2000", is it?

[Danger Mouse]

22. Twisted Metal, haha...what about Axel?

The comedy gold is limitless!

[RevolutionaryActs]

23. Possibly.

But I think Twisted Metal would make a great movie! Come on, you must agree? You have played it right?

[Danger Mouse]

24. Of course! I'm referring to...

this guy:

How is this NOT hilarious?

[RevolutionaryActs]

25. Oooooh *that* Axel.

Heh, heh sorry.

the most insanely stupid one out of the group... honestly you're gonna go up against Darkside with your chest wide open? :eyes:

[Danger Mouse]

26. Any Twisted Metal Movie MUST have him or it is not a twisted metal movie.

[RevolutionaryActs]

27. Eh, any twisted metal movie must have SWEET TOOTH

Needles Kane is so wonderfully batshit crazy.

[Danger Mouse]

28. Of course. Sweet Tooth as well. Clowns are good.

[Evoman]

29. Mr. Grimm pre-Twisted Metal Black should be included.

That would be awesome I like when he is Death personified, not a vietnam vet.
