Death Race: Difference between revisions

[[File:Death Race poster.png|frame]]

In this 2008 film, Jensen Ames ([[Jason Statham]]) finds himself in prison, forced to compete in the Death Race, a brutal three-day closed-course pay-per-view event. The race features armored cars with machine guns, flamethrowers, missiles, oil slicks, smokescreens and everything else a group of prison thug grease-monkeys can think to attach to a vehicle...

A much [[Darker and Edgier]] film than the original ''[[Death Race 2000]]'', which was more of a [[Dead Baby Comedy|grisly comedy]]. The 2008 version did away with everything in the original except the theme of a killer car race, the names of the two champions (Frankenstein and Machine Gun Joe) and the fact that {{spoiler|Frankenstein was not the original, but another driver in the same mask.}} As a quick tribute, David Carradine, who was Frankenstein in the old film, voiced "Old Frank" in this one (for a couple of lines).
