Technician Posted August 5, 2008 I am a huge fan of Roger Corman’s classic budget satire. Death Race 2000 told a story of a cold and deteriorated future that left the public stupid and oppressed from the iron fisted "President" of the new fascist America. And the only outlet was a TV broadcasted blood fest of a hellish grand prix from corner to corner of America. But will the new Death Race be just as good? If I hadn't seen the shitfest that was the Rollerball remake, my hopes may have been high. And I can't help think Running Man. Any one a Fan of the first installment?

Snarboo Posted August 5, 2008 Haven't seen the first one, but the remake looks to be typical Hollywood tripe. I doubt it will be as bad as the Rollerball remake, though...right? 0 Share this post Link to post
Belial Posted August 5, 2008 Well I'm a fan of Carmageddon, so that extends to DR2000 by default. 0 Share this post Link to post
SyntherAugustus Posted August 5, 2008 Jason Stahem kinda worries me. Also, when I saw the trailer the first thing I thought was "Death Rally: The movie" 0 Share this post Link to post
kristus Posted August 5, 2008 Hail to the king, baby! Seriously, this is more Death Rally, than Death Race. I want Duke Nukem driving one of them. 0 Share this post Link to post
DooMAD Posted August 5, 2008 Needs more gimp masks. Anyway, it'll be a mindless action film, but then that's pretty much all anyone would expect from it. Nothing groundbreaking or controversial like the original. 0 Share this post Link to post
DooMAD Posted August 5, 2008 Yeah, but it looked like it was made of metal. Also, that game on the website is a bit poo. It's certainly no Carmageddon, heh. 0 Share this post Link to post
kristus Posted August 5, 2008 Yeah, but Frankenstein had a mask over his gimp mask too.. iirc. EDIT: nevermind, looks like I was wrong. 0 Share this post Link to post
Coopersville Posted August 5, 2008 I'm a big fan of Death Race 2000. Anyway, awesome summer action flick is going to be an awesome summer action flick. 0 Share this post Link to post
Gokuma Posted August 6, 2008 I originally found Death Race 2000 for $1 at a Dollar store a few years ago. And thus began my enlightenment. 0 Share this post Link to post
Captain Red Posted August 6, 2008 If Ian McShane doesn't call that evil chick in charge of the race a "loopy cunt" at least once than the movie will be a massive disappointment. 0 Share this post Link to post
SYS Posted August 6, 2008 Upon seeing teh trailer, definitely more like Death Rally than Death Race. It's not like this is the first time that a great classic has been modernized and completely fucked up to the point of alienating the fans of the original. Still a little early to arrive at this conclusion, but a likely one. 0 Share this post Link to post
Alboroto Posted August 7, 2008 Why does every movie with Jason Stahem has to do with cars at some point? 0 Share this post Link to post
Bashe Posted August 7, 2008 Razor's "Deathrace" better be on the soundtrack 0 Share this post Link to post
