Trivia
A follow-up of sorts to the film Death Race 2000 (1975), this film's failure at the box office scrapped all of the plans for a second follow-up film that would have been titled "Deathworld".

Goofs
When a Destructocycle drives off a cliff, the cable it is attached to is clearly visible.

Quotes
Kaz Oshay: Like sand in the wind, keep moving.

Alternate versions
The print used for Shout Factory's 2011 DVD was a composite version consisting of an interpostive created for TV showings, missing all the violence and nudity, so a splicy 35mm theatrical print containing all of said material had to be reinstated into the print filling in the missing footage.

Connections
Edited into Saturday the 14th Strikes Back (1988)

Just Watch It

I saw this movie as a kid at the theater "in the back corner of the mall" that showed those "hardcore R" movies in the late 70's - nervous buying the tix but the theater guy always let us in. Without a doubt, watchable. I'm just getting my kids to appreciate "cinema" and this one is one the list. Most of it is where we saw it versus what we saw but it's now viewable in your home at your calling. Technology. I personally dislike CGI and the proliferation of computers as "film" so these are the type of movies that now define an era gone by. Sad but true. There is an appreciation to be had with this movie that's like watching Shakespeare in the Park with motocross and entertaining foley artist work (albeit laughable).
