This smashes into Joe, but doesn’t incapacitate him. With all of his defenses (napalm, smoke, oil) mysteriously not working, he’s no choice but to drop the “tombstone”, the huge armor plate that protects the rear of his car. They’re being pursued by the monstrous Machine Gun Joe (Tyrese Gibson – Transformers) and a bunch of other lesser drivers. The mask-wearing Frank(enstein) and his beautiful navigator Case (Natalie Martinez – End of Watch) are leading but in some serious trouble. The first action we get a taste of is the final of one such race. Win five “death races” in a row and you’re granted your freedom. The first two are designed to whittle down the competition – to kill off the minor characters and get the juices flowing. Prisoners get to race heavily armored vehicles against each other for the viewing pleasure of millions at home (for a low cost of $100 per race, or $250 per event).
No, apparently the bored, unemployed masses want even crazier shit. No longer under the watchful eye of Uncle Sam, they start exploiting the prisoners by broadcasting live fights to the death at a tidy little premium.īut that doesn’t keep the public satiated for long(!). Crime is through the roof and with the justice system unable to cope with the influx of fresh prisoners, it out-sources all prisons to private institutions. Unemployment is at an all-time high and the hungering masses at reaching critical mass. In the near future the American economy has collapsed.
#Death race 2000 remake movie
Years later, Paul WS Anderson ( Mortal Kombat) would turn this into a movie starring Jason Statham ( Hummingbird). Back when I was a kid I had a mate called Peter and we used to spend hours drawing what we called “futuristic war machines” basically cars laden with spikes, turbo boosters and machine guns.
