April 27, 1975 –
The cult action film Death Race 2000, directed by Paul Bartel, and starring David Carradine, Simone Griffeth, Sylvester Stallone, Mary Woronov, Martin Kove, and Don Steele, opened in the US on this date.
Both David Carradine and Sylvester Stallone did much of their own driving in this film. In addition, producer Roger Corman drove in scenes that were shot on public streets, since the custom-built cars that were used in the film were not street legal and the film’s stunt drivers did not want to be caught driving them by the police.
