Check Out Some 'Death Race' DVD Features

DateSunday, December 21, 2008 at 1:03AM
One of those new releases is Death Race, which is not technically speaking a remake of the Roger Corman flick, Death Race 2000. It's a modified version of that with some of the same elements and character names, but there are some big differences, too.

And you know what? I didn't mind the new Death Race at all. As I said in my review at the time, "If you want a pineapple upside-down cake and what you order tastes like a pineapple upside-down cake, then you can’t really complain, right?" And Death Race delivers on what it's supposed to be. The action's solid, Jason Statham scowls a lot, the stunts are good, and Joan Allen makes a great villainess.

Here are a couple special features you can find on the new Death Race DVD:


The Perfect Spot


Natalie Martinez in a Crop Top


The Guns and Machines of Death Race

And just as a programming note, we've got an interview with director Paul W.S. Anderson coming later today, so be on the lookout for that. Death Race is on shelves today. A Sunday. Man, that's weird.
