Everyone has a daredevil side. Some express it by jumping out of an airplane or driving through a burning building, while others are satisfied watching the pros do it on the big screen. That’s why even the dare-iest of devils ought to enjoy MADCAP Theaters’ Daredevil Double Feature Friday presentation of Stunt Rock (1978) and Death Race 2000 (1975).

Brian Trenchard-Smith’s Stunt Rock tells the true story of Australian stuntman Grant Page, who moves to L.A. and ends up helping with pyrotechnics and magic tricks for the band Sorcery. Paul Bartel’s Death Race 2000 (starring David Carradine) chronicles a dystopian society where the biggest sporting event is a race in which drivers win points by killing pedestrians.
