What is an obscure piece of media or videogame that you think nobody else here has heard of?
It could even be a youtube video or movie that you don't think anyone reading this has heard of besides you.

The original Death Race 2000 starring Sylvester Stallone and David Carradine. It may have had a small comeback when the Death Race remake came out but this isn't the kind of movie you'd see randomly on tv.
Fun story, my dad met a guy who talked about a movie he had seen once, where racers ran over people to score points, my dad thought this guy was taking the piss and never considered the movie might be real. Until one day he was watching TV randomly and stumbled on the movie. But as people from the era of cable TV might remember, it was hard to know the name of the movie you just caught midway through, unless the channel showed the name of the movie you were out of luck, so I grew up knowing that this movie existed, but never knew the name. When the remake came out the plot seemed familiar enough for me that I immediately went to check what it was based on and finally put the final nail in the coffin of a long family mistery.
What was the movie called?
Nevermind I'm high
I edited the nudity out of that so we could screen it at work. There's a LOT of titties in that movie.
The 1976 arcade game called Death Race (seemingly no relation) is one of the first to ever spark controversy over violence in video games. It's not too well known today, being almost 50 years old and fairly primitive.
And fun movie fact, Death Race 2000 is Sylvester "Sly, The Italian Stallion" Stallone's first non-pornographic film role.
My parents love this movie, I saw it many times growing up. Every time they drive past someone in a wheelchair that movie gets mentioned.
Just saw the trailer. I thought 2000 was the year it came out but it came out in 1975.
Yes! This is a movie my parents let me watch when I was like ten or eleven and it definitely stuck with me.
"What's that?" "A hand grenade" best pun in cinematic history, un-toppable. I'm a huge Death Race fan, and CarWars, and the Twisted Metal game. Gun cars are just cool
