    • Trivia
      Jason Statham trained so hard for his role in the film that he went from 20% body fat to 6%. It took him three months to do so.
    • Goofs
      (at about 24:00 into the film) At the introduction, Coach tells Frankenstein that the back protection plate, a.k.a. the Tombstone, is 6" thick solid steel. There are four plates 1.5" thick each and about 40", 50", 60" and 70" by about 48" tall. That is about 1,972 kg or 4,340 lbs. of steel. That would make the car so back heavy that, at the first hitting of any bump, the front of the car would go up and make controlling it impossible. Besides that, it would also be so heavy that the car would not be fit for the race.

    I enjoyed this movie
    A massive departure from the original, Death Race keeps the cars and kills and forgoes virtually everything else from 2000. Fun in a very different manner, but still fun, and that's what counts.
