You're Right! The racers themselves are perforce larger than life, with names like blonde Nazi Matilda the Hun (Roberta Collins), narcissistic Nero the Hero (Martin Kove), cowgirl Calamity Jane (the ever-exquisite Mary Woronov), Chicago gangster Machine Gun Joe Viterbo (Sylvester Stallone! young actor alert!) and the most popular (and oldest surviving) Transcontinental Racer, Frankenstein (David Carradine), winner of the two previous races.
