- In 2012, amid economic chaos and high unemployment, Americans watch by the millions as criminals with life sentences race armored cars on Terminal Island. Two-thirds of the combatants die but the winner may earn his freedom. On the day he loses his job, steelworker Jensen Ames is arrested for his wife's murder. Sent to Terminal Island, he's offered an out by the steely and manipulative Warden Hennessey - race as the popular mask-wearing (but now dead) champion, Frankenstein, or rot in prison. Jensen makes the bargain. As the three-stage race approaches, he realizes that the whole thing may be a set up - can an anonymous man behind a mask get revenge and win his release?
- Ex-con Jensen Ames is forced by the warden of a notorious prison to compete in our post-industrial world's most popular sport: a car race in which inmates must brutalize and kill one another on the road to victory.
- The point of the movie is all written in the title. DEATH RACE. People race just to kill each other and win. It is as simple as that and because of that, it is good. Maybe I like the movie cause I am a Jason Statham fan, altho I think that there was tooo much gore. 8/10 for me, just because the movie never got boring for me.
- As a huge fan of the original; I can safely say it's much more meaner, badder and demented then this new vamped up version for the 2000's First of all, we have here a politically correct movie. Paul W.S. Andersons clearly leaves out the most crucial aspect of the original. Running over pedestrians for points, so naturally Death Race must be set up in a prison so we don't get too attached to it's racers as they get eliminated by each other. Ironically, this time the racers are the victims as opposed to the original.<br/><br/>Now we have the key players.Hennesy; a soulless, cut throat female warden who will go to any lengths to keep the legend of Frankenstein alive and put out the highest pay per view ratings around.<br/><br/>Jason Stratham, who plays Jenson Ames is framed for his wife's murder in order to provide entertainment for millions as he takes over the persona of the deceased Frankenstein. He does great as his role and he is without doubt the actor to fill the shoes of action greats like Swartzeneger and Stallon, but he still needs to find that one character that will provide him with the blockbuster franchise.<br/><br/>Next we have Tyrese Gibson as Machin Gun Joe. While many will admit that Stallon's original role was that of a whiny Italian sausage; you can't say he didn't have charisma. Gibson does provides Machine Gun Joe with a more bad ass attitude,but does not necessarily make him a better version. He talks the talk, races the car, but will he be consistent or soft up at the end? <br/><br/>Next we have coach. Ian Mc Shane does a great job, but really, who wouldn't have rather seen Stallon play this role? He has matured and his character really would have showed some wisdom. Plus you got the perfect link to the original.<br/><br/>The rest of the racers consist of Hoodlems and Cholos. I know this takes place in prison, but a little diversity would have been better. The original had Calamity Jane. Attila The Hun and even racing great Don Steele play himself.One character form this new version; Grim Reaper never once reflects his persona and is even the first to die.<br/><br/>Finally, I must not forget the navigators. Beautiful female convicts who add nothing more than spice to the show.<br/><br/>To sum it up, I enjoyed the movie a great deal. I'll definitely get the DVD or Blue Ray or whatever, but doesn't compare to the real massacre of the original. David Carradine would take all these jail birds to Death Race 101 old School any day!
- This movie is about mayhem on wheels, tough guys viewers can root for, and villains whose comeuppances audiences crave. That's what Death Race is all about and, for what it is, it does a solid job.
- Death Race is a remake of the 1975 film <a href="/title/tt0072856/">Death Race 2000 (1975)</a> with a new script written by English director Paul W.S. Anderson. It is not based on the 1976 arcade game Death Race, which was inspired by the 1975 film. It isn't exactly stated when Death race takes place. It is stated in the prologue that in 2012 the economy collapsed and that before Death Race there were Gladiator type battles. So it can be assumed that it is at least a decade after the Cage Fights started which was probably around 2015, so we can assume this takes place in 2025. In the DVD commentary, Paul W.S. Anderson describes the original concept as a "reimagining" of Paul Bartel's Death Race 2000, so in that sense it's a remake. However, <a href="/name/nm0001016/">David Carradine</a>'s voice cameo as Frankenstein at the beginning of the film suggests that it could also be seen as a sequel. Anderson also says that when he was making the film, he thought of it as a prequel to Death Race 2000, showing how the Death Race began in a prison before it went on to become the cross-country race seen in Bartel's film. However, the film can't literally be a prequel since it takes place an indeterminate time after 2012 and Death Race 2000 is set in (of course) 2000. Or it could mean that it was the 2,000th race and has nothing to do with the year. (1) Jensen Ames's Ford Mustang, (2) Grimm's Chrysler 300C, (3) 14K's 1988 Porsche 911, (4) Colt's Jaguar XJS, (5) Riggins' Buick Riviera "boat-tail" (early 1970's), (6) Carson's Pontiac Trans AM, (7) Siad's BMW 7 Series (E32), (8) Pachenko's 1966 Buick Riviera (chop top), (9) Machine Gun Joe's Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 Pickup, and (10) "The Dreadnought" is a Peterbilt Tractor with a modified tanker trailer. The electric kill switches are in the weapons. All they do is deactivate the weapons so they can't use them to escape. "Warmest regards, your monster." The R-rated theatrical version was not cut to obtain the rating. The unrated edition extends some fights and action scenes and runs more than 4 minutes longer. In the film's prequels <a href="/title/tt1500491/">Death Race 2 (2010)</a> and <a href="/title/tt1988591/">Death Race: Inferno (2013)</a>; we find out that the original Frankenstein was Carl Lucas who was horribly burned in a crash. However, advancements in experimental plastic surgery eventually managed to heal Lucas and give him back his face. He later escapes from prison along with his co-pilot and pit crewmember. But not before framing the cold-hearted and tyrannical Company Man Niles York who assumed control of Death Race. York gets horribly burned in a crash caused by Lucas in which it's announced that Katrina and York were killed. However York was only horribly burned and Lucas and Katrina had escaped. Lists confirms York is Frankenstein and so he is forced to don the mask and compete in the races. It's likely he was the one killed on the track in the beginning of this film. a5c7b9f00b
