A hugely popular cult movie which inspired a
remake and a series of video games (Carmageddon).
Set in the future (well, 2000) a violent race
has its winner judged by how many human casualties a driver inflicts.     Â
The comedy is as black as can be, but it
became a hugely enjoyable cult favourite for those who could take it.
