Death Race 2 [Blu-ray] [2011] [US Import]

First of all the 1st reviewer must have a short memory of the Jason Statham DEATH RACE, Because he fails to mention or even pick up on the fact that this film is a PREQUEL to it ! And what a prequel it is, its pulse pounding EXPLOSIVE stuff. The story charts how DEATH RACE was concieved by the ratings hungry prison wardens,,& how Frankenstein came to be ! there are a couple of fammiliar faces from the 1st film,, The cast is FANTASTIC = Luke Goss, Ving Rames, Sean Bean & Danny Trejo all do a good job in what is in total a straight to DVD FILM,, The ACTION, FIGHTS, & STUNTS have all been Directed with Style.. DEATH RACE 2 is a good addition to the Franchise, well worth to be in your collection,, " GO & BUY"

Having just watched this film now I wanted to leave my impressions on the film, the film is REALLY GOOD!!! - The action is GRIPPING, the storyline is SPOT ON, the women in the film too are SERIOUSLY HOT! - It has substance in every angle & keeps you constantly gripped to the film.

You get to feel a connection with the characters, specially the guy named 'Lists' ... the connection between him & Carl Lucas (Luke Goss) is fantastic, it's each to their own but I feel the reviewer who slammed it a little, everyone is entitled to their opinion, sure, however I don't see any substance (or sense) in it & I'm sure when more people write reviews here you will see what I'm saying is true, the film is remarkable!

I wasn't familiar with the one with Jason Statham (Who I feel is also an amazing actor!!!) - However I'm not sure if people are writing on biased reviews on the basis of because they expected Statham in the film, however I did hear that this film is a PREQUEL, hence why .... & the way this 'Death Race' came about is gripping .... the other person mentioned about fights in the prison cells more so than being based around 'Death Race' is nonsense, it's the build up & climax of the film & all within reason & it's all very very relevant & gripping!

All in all, it's an AMAZING film, which is why I specifically wanted to come & write a review here, all the cast are great, Luke Goss plays an amazing part as Carl Lucas, the twist & plot of the story is spot on & gives you that 'Wow' factor (I didn't expect it to go the way it did), but it's very good, very clever & really well thought out, the fact the women in the film are seriously spot on too is just a massive bonus!

The film is fantastic ... you won't be dissapointed, trust me on this one!!!!! :-)

I dont do long reviews. but this is one amazing film when i first heard about there being a second installment i was a but weary but making this a prequal is an amazing idea. it somehow does bring some originality into it and its awesome seeing some familiar faces in the movie!
Great film :D

What happens when you try to take the ring from Frodo? You go to Roger Corman hell and play the bad guy,although in this movie, they were all bad guys, just some bad guys with "honor." I was disappointed Malcolm McDowell didn't play the prison warden. The part seemed designed for him. Ving Rhames plays a corporate exec. although he would have been better as a prisoner. Luke Gross plays an unconvincing tough guy.

The movie is a prequel for one that I had never seen. It is designed to shore up some rough plot points by describing how the "death race" came about while ignoring the blatant disregard for the constitution. Oh wait. Private corporations run prisons so the constitution is suspended, just like in real life. What is it with Corman and Frankenstein in a Death Race? For those of you who would rate "Death Race 2000" at 5 stars, give this 4 stars. Luke Gross is no David Caradine.

PARENTAL GUIDE: Nudity, sex, and violence. Is there any real need to discuss the plot?

I thought Death Race 1 was a normal action movie, so lets give Death Race 2 a try too. But this movie isn't a sequel or prequel to the first movie, it's rather a remake. I actually paused the movie a couple of minutes into it to double check that I inserted the right DVD...

However, I finished the movie and if it's just another action movie you're after, you can go for it; there are fast cars, fights, girls (who are there only to look good), explosions and all rest that's supposed to be there...

And of course, Danny Trejo is a star.

Came as advertised I had thoughly enjoyed Death Race with Jason Statham so I bought this one but it was a little hard to understand until you find out this should have been the first one of the series (there is a third one) but it is a very good film to watch I have watched it several times

I would like to recommend this film for everybody who are curious about beginning of Frankenstein,film is OK but I prefer Death Race with Jason,who is better as Frankenstein than Luke.

Like I said in the title, this isn't a film for everyone.

But if you want to see a popcorn Saturday night action movie which includes Sean Bean dying (obviously), Marsellus Wallace, an ex-member of Bros and a Jaguar XJS with machine guns and armour-plating, this is the film for you.

Brilliant, tongue-in-cheek awesomeness.
