Frightening & Intense Scenes

- The concept shows innocent people getting run over on live television. This is The Hunger Games or Battle Royale of the 1970s.
- Frankenstein is frequently seen wearing his tight black leather outfit.
- The violence is pretty tame, but does not shy away from showing every death.
- People get run over in somewhat graphic ways.
- The last 20 minutes of the film are non-stop intense.
- Despite the film's crude and highly gruesome nature, much of it is actually rather light-hearted due to the TV station moments. Undoubtedly, the race sequences are pretty intense, as well as the fact that old people and children are considered targets.
