Since this film is from 1964 (according to the Tweet I got this link from), I realized I could've gone even further into Nintendo reference territory in the description, "SUPER SOVIET KART 64"!

Also, if you stopped watching about halfway through, you missed the return of the weird reaction heads at around the 10:11 mark. The guy with glasses claps and says... something, I wouldn't know, I don't speak Russian, and there are two more film noir-lit talking heads after.

I didn't see one banana peal, star or Bullet Bill. What kind of cart racing is this?

wtf.... the music even sounds like mario kart

This is the coolest damned thing in the world.
