He directed and starred in Death Race 2000 (1975), a satirical take on dystopian futures that remains a hallmark of exploitation film. Bartel also wrote and directed Private Parts (1972), a provocative comedy that showcases his unique blend of humor and social commentary. His performances in Big Bad Mama (1974) and Piranha (1978) further solidified his status as a versatile figure in the realm of grindhouse and cult films.
