In 2000, war no longer exists and, to let citizens release their pent-up violence, every year the government of the United Provinces of America organizes the Transcontinental Road Race, in which contestants run down and kill pedestrians to gain points. The top-ranked challengers: Frankenstein and “Machine Gun” Joe Viterbo. Directed by Paul Bartel, an indie director with a sense of humor, a typical B movie from the Corman Factory, provocative and raucous, starring David Carradine and Sylvester Stallone.
