I find it incredible that the cult film category has been removed from this twice by ThomasK. A google search of "death race 2000" +"cult film" gets 1400 hits, which seem to almost all be on topic, and it is certainly considered one of the archetypal cult films. For the sake of open debate, please explain how this isn't a cult film before simply removing the category again. --Misterwindupbird 03:49, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Specifically I was referring to the suggestions that it inspired Carmageddon and the like, as well as the plot/character analysis. This is all OR without a source.--Drat (Talk) 10:02, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If I remember correctly, doesn't one of the Death Race 2000 cars actually appear in Carmageddon? Long time since I've played it. Mark Grant 00:02, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Carrmageddon went through several phases of development, starting as a simple banger reacing game, then it was to have a mad max theme, after the licencing fell through, it was to have a Death Race 2000 theme, which also fell through, Carrmaggeon is basicly the final Death Race 2000 theme with all branding removed.
