Death Race (2008)

June 14th, 2009 1 comment

An action thriller staring Jason Statham, do I have to convince you anymore to watch this movie? Jason Statham has become synonym for action movies that we can watch on weekend and enjoy it. Even though Hollywood action movies are mindless, most of the times.

Plot summary is “Ex-con Jensen Ames (Jason Statham) is forced by the warden of a notorious prison to compete in our post-industrial world’s most popular sport: a car race in which inmates must brutalize and kill one another on the road to victory.”

Here are few things that I learned from this movie. Use the comments to add more things that you learned from this movie.

1. The USA’s economy and government can completely collapse as soon as 2012.

2. You can strap thousands of pounds of steel, explosives, guns, bullets and gasoline onto a car, and it will still run faster than most street cars.

3. These cars can be repaired completely by a crew of four to five people in less than 24 hours after being shot with hundreds of bullets.

4. There is no reason the have rear guns in cars in a Death Race whatsoever.

5. After one quick talk with the man who wants to kill you, you will automatically become BFF (Best Friends Forever).

6. Big black dudes who kill as many people as ruthlessly as possible are really big softies inside.

7. Packages sent to wardens are not checked for threats.

8. There’s always a train passing by, when you need to escape from the police. Don’t worry police will never check it.

9. Whenever a female prisoner steps out of any kind of vehicular transport time automatically slows down in order to show off hair-flowing and cat-walk.

10. There is always a “coach” and a nerdy computer expert. EVERYWHERE.

11. You can stay in prison as long as you like, even after you’ve been discharged.

12. The best drivers of a death race are:  An Asian guy, a Latin guy, a black guy, a redneck and Jason Statham.

13. Removing the mask inside the car is okay, because no one can see you, despite the windows.

14. Even though the economy has collapsed there are still millions of people who can afford the internet and subscriptions to ridiculous web-cast gladiator fights with prisoners in cars.

15. Driving in reverse is just as fast as a souped up death machine going at top speed.
