Death Race trailer debuts
Click above for high-res gallery of Death Race production stills
We're going to start calling Jason Statham Ol' Faithful, because you always -- and we mean always -- know what you're going to get from a Jason Statham film. His next flick, Death Race, is Transporter 2 on HGH or Crank without, well, the crank.
Universal has just released a new trailer for Death Race, and in addition to cars, convicts, guns, explosions, and kick-your-dog music, it's got the hottest, most scantily clad female convicts on which you've ever laid your eyes. Jason Statham's character in the film is named Jensen Ames, which makes him, incredibly, the most oddly named NASCAR driver in history. But don't take our word for it -- there's a video trailer in them thar hills, so click the link to watch it. And be sure to check out the gallery of movie stills below.

another opportunity to make a classic ruined by the formulaic film-makers.

Crank f-ing rules. If you haven't seen that movie get to the video store or to downloading right now...it's insanely funny. And not unintentionally funny, it's really funny as hell. One of the most overlooked movies a couple years back due to this same thinking that it is formulaic. That movie was anything but.

Drunk is the only way to see something like this... I'm just surprised they got the gal from the Bourne movies involved.
I think I'll wait for the disc, but it does look idiotically fun.

I was in a womens correctional facility once. They are not that hot. In fact, they are not hot at all.

Hey, even ugly chicks put out. Especially if they've been on lock-down, clank-clank.
I have to say though, this movie looks far better than I thought it would. And I heard Jason Stratham's a helluva genuinely nice guy. I don't mind giving my $9 matinee dollars to the cause. :)

Original, surreal, 1975 film, starring The Real Don Steel:

Highly recommended ( Especially in these days of $140 a barrel oil, which is mentioned in the film )

I'm gonna go against the flow here and say this move looks awesome. It reminds me of Shoot 'em Up, since it appears to have ridiculous over the top action that is just comical, since the movie doesn't take itself seriously.

This movie might have been cool to me if I was 15 years old

I think the thing that bothers me the most is why pay for the original license, at all, if you aren't going to remake the original movie. The title is butchered enough to not remind people immediately of Death Race 2000, the broader general audience is not going to know of the original movie anyway, and the premise of the remake has nothing to do with the original, except putting guns on cars, which several other movies have done.
So question remains; why bother paying for the Death Race 2000 license? They could have called this something else, like Man Bites Car, or Bullets for Bail.

This was a pretty entertaining movie back when it was called "The Condemned" and starred Stone Cold Steve Austin.
