Cult director Roger Corman shot many of them and today his sci-fi trash Death Rally in Helix City is getting the SchleFaz treatment. You can see Tarantino star David Carradine (Kill Bill), among others, who fell into a career hole after the film. Star Wars fans will also recognize sounds in the film that are apparently the action hit brazenly stole from the recently released blockbuster.
