George Miller testified that the Bartel film inspired his Mad Max movies: the post-apocalyptic landscape, the valuing of speed over life, the fender-level shots of cars careering toward Armageddon. It also spawned a rip-off video game, called Death Race, supposedly the first of its kind to be banned. Death Race 2000 didn,t slam into any legal walls, but it has a lunatic daring that was a hallmark of 70s movies, and that is all but absent from the films...

Granted, it's not the kind of fledging democracy that will spread like wildfire to neighboring nations in the Middle East. And Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's recent move against elements of the Sunni Awakening Councils, which have been instrumental in helping American forces secure order, could reignite violence.
