I'll admit. This movie looks way better than I thought it would. Especially considering Paul WS Anderson is involved.
 
I loved the original Death race 2000.
(take elitist attitude) It was the greatest piece of low budget cheese,( well one of em anyway) thrill ride that alot of movies try to live up too.it should've never been remade just as cough cough "Rollerball" cough cough "Planet of the Apes" and cough cough "I am legend" shouldn't have been. But why come up with something new. when you can just remake 70's flicks, bottle them as new for younger viewers and make money.
Thank you and good nite or morning or whatever. hehe
 
Blood splatter on a logo always = cool edgy.

I saw this today. It was better than I thought it would be. Anyone else seeing it?
 
I'm thinking about seeing this. I looks alot better than I thought, and if anything, it's a fun mindless action movie with sweet cars and crashes.

This is a total dude flick. What more can a guy expect for.
 
house bunny = chick flick
death race = guy flick

chicks. vs dudes = vaginas always win :(
 
This is what I don't understand, and it's perhaps up to the viewer's imagination:

So each racers has to have a HOT female navigator in each car right? There was numerous times where there's no girl INSIGHT in some of the cars. Unless they don't want to acknowledge them, I thought it was stupid. There was shots were it was CLEAR that the car only had one racer in it.

This inconsistency was weird, I thought.
 
A lot of stunt driving is like that. Sometime it's even noticable when a guy is filling for a woman. I would imagine that's the reason.
 
It's really hard to pick this movie apart, because you know exactly what you are getting when you go in...so I can't say it was a disapointment, because I expected a cheesey film, and that's exactly what I got. Bottom line, it's a pretty vapid action flick. In fact, it was constant action, but so uncompelling that I was very bored.
But ya know...I guess it wasn't any worse than the original.
 
For the first time in years there was no one at the movie theater on friday it looks like Death race drove them away.
 
I saw this yesterday in a free screening actually. I was really suprised how much I liked it. it was like one of those old school action movies where it was all about who was the coolest, most baddest motha in the joint, the hot women at their side, and their kick ass vehicle violence. Is the story great? Hell no? Was this a blast, hell yeah. I like Action Statham (Well I like Brit used Statham too), I think Joan Allen and Ian McShane do good jobs, and most of all I was suprised by Paul W.S Anderson. Was the script great? Omce again no, but there weren't any truly cringe inducing moments like say the third act of Alien vs Predator or horrible acting like some of the people in Resident Evil. He did a far better job accomplishing the movie he set out to make here than he has before. And the action just kicks ass. And even though I prefer my intelligent action films (Dark Knight for example) It was cool to have a brainless, non-watered down PURE MAN action movie. Really suprised, had some genuine fun.

Sums up my feelings pretty much.
 
It was alight. I chuckled at the guy that killed Statham's wife. My first thought was lol ninja killed ur wife. The ending was very satisfying--that present Hennesey got.:grin:

That dude with the glasses was my favorite character in the movie.
 
This so resembles The Condemned with Steve Austin which could have been in this movie. I may wait and see this on a double feature day when i go see Babylon AD or Tropic Thunder. I am not sure which will be second movie after Death Race.
