Death Race - Inferno

Slang-bang, moving sequel with plenty of action and amusement . It is a grindhouse pleasure that will appeal to saga lovers due to a lot of action, thrills, chills and emotion. It is set in a nearly future, there in South Africa develops the ultimate sporting where contestants get score point for running drivers down, a futurist international sport with plenty of violence in which pilots contend for hitting other vehicles. Meanwhile a powerful organizer : Dougray Scott buys the broadcasting copyright of the violent competition to Ving Rhames, as the car race is televised by pay per view and presented by a beautiful host called Satana. As Frankenstein/Luke Goss is given a new opportunity to have his reward. As he is attempting to survive the dangerous and bloody competition by pitting other nasty drivers to get his purports.

This is a nail-biting sequel with lots of noisy action, violence, fights and breathtaking car crashes. It is a high-octane fantasy thriller and another routine follow-up, repeating similar premise than previous sequels. As we have the skillful driver Luke Goss accompanied by a gorgeous co-pilot, Tanit Phoenix Copley, participating at the stirring and amazing race, contending with other heinous and ominous participants. It is made in brainless and rudimentary masculine fashion, filled with macho men and sexy, bomb-shell girls. Stars the tough and two-fisted Luke Goss, he is assisted by a passable support cast as Dougray Scott, Danny Trejo, Tanit Phoenix, Frederick Koehler, Robin Shue, among others.

The film written, produced by usual Paul W. Anderson, was professionally made by Raoul Reine, though with no originality, being a simple rip-off similar to former entries. Here Reine doesn't reach nowhere the satirical impact and playfulness of the original film. The Dutch Raoul Reine has directed various acceptable films, such as : The Admiral, The lost tribe, The bear, and several sequels and remakes such as : Hard Target 2, The condemned 2, The man with the iron mask, 12 rounds 2, Seal team eight, Redbeard , The Marine 2. He also directed a grean number of Tv episodes in the popular series as Black sails, Knightfall, Redball legend, Inhumans.

The film is based on the original Death Race 1975 by Paul Bartel/Roger Corman with Sylvester Stallone, David Carradine, Simone Griffith. Followed by Death race 2008 by Paul W Anderson with Jason Statham , Tyrese Gibson, Joan Allen, Jacob Vargas, Natalie Martinez. Death race 2 by Raoul Reine with Luke Goss, Tanit Phoenix Copley, Lauren Cohen and followed by this Death race 3. Death race 2050 with Manu Bennett and Malcolm McDowell. And Death race : Beyond anarchy 2018 by Don Michael Paul with Lucy Arden, Nicholas Aaron.

"More cons, more cars, more guns. Sky's the limit." Once again Frankenstein (Goss) is one race win away from freedom. This time though the race has changed. Instead of being inside the prison another man has bought the rights and is taking it global. Fighting in his crew and other deals being made make this a harder race then usual. I have to admit that I do like these movies as cheesy as they are. I loved the first one and enjoyed the second one OK. I may have to re-watch that one though because I was a little confused to start this one. I thought some of the people that were in this died and the plot lines didn't seem to match up. Then the race started and I realized that it didn't really matter, the plots of these movies are just background to the racing and violence. To me that is OK. Much like the other two this is not an award winning movie and acting is iffy at best but it is still very entertaining and well worth checking out if you have seen the others. Overall, not as good as first but fun and exciting to watch still. I liked it. I give it a B+.

"Death Race: Inferno" is an Action - Sci-Fi movie and the third movie of the "Death Race" franchise, in which we watch Carl Lucas, aka Frankenstein being only one win away from his freedom.

After watching the second movie of the franchise I have to admit that I did not have any expectations by this movie. I was surprised after watching it because I actually enjoyed it. The plot was mostly the same as in the two previous movies but there were also some differences. The interpretation of Luke Goss who played as Carl Lucas was good and in this movie he made the difference. In addition to this, there were also some other interpretations that have to be mentioned such as Danny Trejo's who played as Goldberg, Tanit Phoenix's who played as Katrina, Dougray Scott's who played as Niles York and Ving Rhames' who played as Weyland. All in all, I have to say that "Death Race: Inferno" is a nice action movie to spend your time and far better than the second movie of the franchise.

Don't be put off by the IMDb score, or any negative reviews, this movie is a more than worthy successor to Death Race 2, and has earned its place in the franchise.

Lots of subtle humour, stylish action and surprisingly memorably characters, all combined with sufficiently varied and suitably over-the-top set pieces make this feel more like a cinema release than a direct-to-video offering.

Sure, the plot gets a bit silly at times, and there are clichés and stereotypes liberally scattered throughout, but I still found the new setting, the new (if often short-lived) characters and the tidy wrapping up of the story arc to be effective and entertaining.

Dougray Scott shines as the enthusiastic antagonist, relative unknown Jeremy Crutchley provides a great Russell Crowe-esque caricature, and even Luke Goss manages to steal some good moments.

All of the actors look like they're having lots of fun, and I too thoroughly enjoyed the movie. Dig it up and give it a go. Watch all three movies back to back for the full experience!

This is another solid five star film that is entertaining if you like this genre, which I do. It is, however, just a rehash of Death Race 2. The film setting goes international, moving the prison setting to a prison in the South African desert. The race is through the harsh & deadly desert, the prisoners are tracked with locator implants, and anyone deviating from the race's route is eliminated with a missile that tracks their implants. Similar rules and challenges as DR2 are hyped up with more, and larger, vehicles, guns, explosions, wrecks, and gore. The company knows that Goss/Lucas/Frankenstein is the reason for the high viewer ratings & magically transform Goss from a third degree burn victim with no ears or lips into 95% of what he looked like before he was burned, and he is racing again in a only a couple of weeks. The over reliance on CGI makes parts of the movie little more than modern Saturday morning cartoons. The major subplot is lots of deceptions, backstabbing, treachery, and double-crossing. No T&A shown, which should be heavily included in order fill out the testosterone driven needs of the demographic group drawn to this type of movie. You will see more T&A watching girls beach volleyball. Entertaining and light with lots of action. Enjoy!
