Dracula 300

 

Dracula 500

"When Dracula escapes, it's up to the good-old Nascar boys to put him back in the grave."

 

I envision it as some horribly bad attempt to cash in on the late '70s popularity of CB radios, truckers, and scoffing at the national 55 MPH (then) speed limit, which led to such cinematic classics as the Smokey and the Bandit or Cannonball Run movies, and many, many imitators.

Damnation Decade? Is that like Damnation Alley?

 

It's a setting in a parallel universe during the 1970s. There's all kinds of bad stuff going on, based on 70s pop culture...Satanists, robots replacing world leaders, animals going berserk and mobbing towns, zombies, etc. It's a fun setting for people who remember the 70s.

 

Here's a review.

Cannonball Run (1981) is a pale imitation of the classic Gumball Rally (1976)

 

The Gumshoe Rally

 

Smokey and the Time Bandits

 

The Man in the Iron Mask with One Red Shoe
