Death Race 3: Inferno

Either you like the death race series or you don't. I really do. Luke Goss does a great job in Death Race 2 and 3. Would rent again.

I enjoyed the first film more than I thought I would, and thus when sequels were made, I wanted to watch. While putting together a good cast and a prequel story, the 2nd one really was LAZY-it was just too much retreading of the first with good actors replacing other good actors.This film "Death Race 3: Inferno" or "Death Race: Inferno" is totally different. It sets up an entire plot that allows all of the solid actors here to shine in there roles. It also plays up a young jerks wish to undermine and take over Death Race, the frankenstein scenario and ending of the film is brilliant, and what about the cover-art, and look?Well, that is what makes this one stand out. We take the racing OFF the island, into a new area with another really messed-up person half running the show in a crummy third world country, and off it goes. We view intentional horrible areas where it gets a little mad-max but doesn't really play on the futuristic. It gives it a more raw feel and thus freshness. On top of it, there's a lot going on behind the scenes within the film, making it extra engaging while we enjoy the "off-road death races" and how that works. It also doesn't work, but in the way that leads up to the climax and ultimately the pay-off.Without spoiling anything, the ending of this film is brilliant. We see someone get there just dues in a rather creepy, intelligent, and horrific way. We see others get to be happy, we get a conclusion of sorts to the franchise. It circles back far better than the last as a prequel to where the first movie can happen and leaves us with knowledge that makes the whole franchise better. Unfortunately, they made another one with little racing, skip it and just watch 1 and 3, others only if curious or free on a service, or you have to own 2 to enjoy this one, which I honestly don't think you even need to watch 2 to understand this one. So if you want more death race but high quality as this franchise gets, then this is the sequel for you to the death race remake film.

This is such a great movie! It's actually a prequel to Death Race and it's full of action and fire and explosions. If you like things blowing up and cool cars and lots of violence you'll love this. Nice change of scenery too

A great action flick can be great with all of the right people to star in it, direct it, write it etc, providing great ideas for the plot, characters, and scenes, and for what it's worth the right resources. In so many respects than not, this movie hit those marks with flying colors thereby offering a far more satisfying and entertaining chapter this time. This chapter delivers on its every promise in spades by upping the ante.A simple plot summary of the movie: Corporate businessman R.H. Weyland(Ving Rames) gets the rights to Death Race taken over by a rich, young, business opportunist playboy, named Niles York(Dougray Scott). York has epic plans to take Death Race beyond just Terminal Island Prison by taking it globally and also looking for other prisons to bring Death Race to. Carl "Frankenstein" Lucas gets highly affective plastic surgery and makes some secret business arrangements with Weyland. His pit crew of highly talkative but lovable stats boy Lists(Frederick Koehler), his Mexican/Jewish mechanic Goldberg(Danny Trejo), and his smokin' hot Navigator/girlfriend Katrina Banks(Tanit Phoenix) all get wind of Lucas having survived his accident when his Frankenstein mask falls off during a scuffle between his friends and himself fighting off some vicious inmates. Upset with Lucas's playing dead(even though he had no choice in the matter) Lists, Goldberg, and Katrina, are initially reluctant to help him out. Now there is a new sexy hostess named Salinas taking on the show alongside Niles York in the new location in the Kalahari Desert in South Africa. The prisoners/racers are all implanted with homing devices so that they don't try to run away. Outside of miles and miles of desert and really rough sand dunes, heavy heat, and other deadly challenges await Frankenstein and company as they race to fight and survive through their such uncompromising circumstances.What made this chapter so great is the way that this time the makers of this movie decide to get right down to the brass tacks and offer alot more action, explosives, still offering really hot women for eye-candy, much more scenes of racing, naturally, and more drama for the main characters. Luke Goss and Danny Trejo still deliver on the excellent performances and laughs at times. Frederick Koehler(Lists) was half way decent as always. Tanit Phoenix was gorgeous, very sexy, and put in a much more memorable performance this time around. Even as Ving Rames(RH Weyland) isn't in this movie any more than he was in the last one, his character Weyland at least gets to do more in this movie this time. Dougray Scott(Niles York) was ambitiously evil, conniving, manipulative, energetic, sleazy, and always having his finger on the button both figuratively and literally, making him a villain to contend with. He needed a bit more charisma though.The action scenes involving a rough and violent race while going through these bright white desert sands without weapons, racing through a town of vicious criminals out to give the Death Race racers a tough time, some anti-Death Race protesters, and just the desperate racing convicts in general of whom are prepared to win even if they feel the need to fight dirty all make for some awesome edge of your seat action.The fight choreography between Luke Goss(Lucas), Goldberg(Danny Trejo), and 14 K(Robin Shou) among others and these nasty other inmates and the somewhat sexy yet deadly fight between the sexy Navigators was twice as great and exciting choreography.While the drama between Carl "Frankenstein" Lucas's friends and crew and himself was a bit aggravating as they refused to listen to his good reasons for playing dead, it did make the characters somewhat deeper. Also, as Lucas wanted to do whatever he could to make total amends with them plus all of the things that he does for them at the end of the movie(Don't worry I won't spoil what it is that he does for them), his character remarkably becomes redeemable in a way that he had not been previously.My only complaints are that just like the last movie the female nudity is barely shown. Also while the gore was improved some it still proved flawed.In closing, if you are into the first Death Race movie, enjoy watching people race eachother, love lots of action, stunts, and explosions, love looking at sexy and attractive women, if you are a fan of Dougray Scott, Luke Goss, or Danny Trejo, love awesome fight choreography, enjoy character building drama, love added humor, and above all want to just plain have an awesome movie experience that Blu-Ray truly brings to life, then this movie is for you. Recommended. 9 Stars out of 10!!!

Toujours passionnant

Das neu gewählte Umfeld ist eine interessante Abwechslung. Der Fiesling bringt seine Rolle gut rüber und erlebt einen befriedigenden Ausgang. Die Loyalität der wichtigen Kontrahenten hat mir gefallen. Beste Neuerung an diesem Film ist aber tatsächlich der Audiokommentar des Regisseurs. Im 2. Teil quatscht er fast nur von seiner Kameraarbeit, was stinklangweilig war. Jetzt aber endlich erzählt er Kapriolen und Anekdoten, wie man sie sich wünscht.

Ya tengo todas.Esta en perfecto castellano y me parece una trilogía asombrosa.100% recomendada.

Film fantastico e si capisce che in questo capitolo finalmente chi deve pagare lo fa fino in fondo anche con la vita prendendo il posto di altri .

I loved this movie as well as the other two but you have to make sure you watch them in order. Death race 2 becomes the first movie, Inferno is number 2 and the Jason Statham one becomes the third movie. I found this was satisfying because it had a happy ending. It even set up the third one nicely, Lists could have left with them but he stayed because he is in the Jason Stathom one. I love action movies and this has everything, plenty of action, some violence and the bad guy gets whats coming to him. Its also a must if your are a fan of Luke Goss as i am, he is a very underrated actor.
