I won't even begin to try justifying my pleasure in watching Death Race 2000. I will let Junior, the charismatic TV announcer win you over as he heralds David Carradine's character. (I liked it enough as a Blockbuster Online rental, but not enough to own.)
"Frankenstein! Frankenstein the legend, Frankenstein the indestructible! Sole survivor of the titanic pile-up of '95, only two-time winner of the Transcontinental Road Race... Frankenstein! Ripped up, wiped out, battered, shattered, creamed, and reamed... a dancer on the brink of death... Frankenstein, who lost a leg in '98, an arm in '99! With half a face and half a chest, and all the guts in the world, he's back!"
