Death Race 3: Inferno [Blu-ray]

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

Great movie

Good acion

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.

Awesome 👌 👏 👍 😍

I gave "Death Race 3: Inferno" 3 stars because it means "It's ok" in Amazon's rating system. I liked the unrated version enough to keep it, but it's easily the worst of the modern "Death Race" movies. (I haven't watched the rated version yet.) First of all, it seems unnecessary to the story because the second film could have easily led right into the first film. However, I will admit that the writers came up with a clever twist to the overall story. (I'm not talking about moving the race to a different location. I don't want to spoil it, but if you give up on this film early on you'll miss the twist I'm referring to.) Second, two of the characters' behavior is over the top: specifically, the main bad guy and the woman producing the "Death Race" show. They both do ridiculous things and make ridiculous statements, like when one of the prisoners makes a run for it by fleeing on foot into an area populated with civilians, and the producer orders the prisoner to be taken out by a missile; when someone reminds her that the civilians will be killed along with him, she says something like "they'll be rewarded in the next life." Is there no FCC in the future? Or police or government officials that would take action against the killing of innocent bystanders? This is insulting to the viewer; it's as if the producers of this sequel thought they could throw all logic out the window because the audience wouldn't care. WRONG. Sadly, the main villain is the type who easily loses his cool, gets into people faces and then screams at them to make his point. Ooh, scary. Then there's the cave these two brainiacs use as a control booth to run the show. Yes, cave. It looks like an underground lair Dr. Evil might use in an "Austin Powers" movie, with monitors and computers surrounded by rock formations. Really silly. Third, the word "Inferno" in the title cheapens the film by overhyping it. (Big deal: there were flame throwers and explosions. That's nothing new.) Fourth, for some inexplicable reason, the producers thought audiences would enjoy seeing Danny Trejo's bare ass. VERY WRONG! So what's good about it? The video is very crisp and clean, and the audio is loud and well mixed. If you've got surround sound, your system will get a good work out. Most of the actors give decent performances, and there's no shortage of action. There's not a lot of laughs, but Trejo's character made me chuckle once or twice. The twist I mentioned above is a nice surprise, especially since this is a prequel to the first movie, and audiences go into prequels expecting the plot to unfold in a certain way. As far as recommending the film, I'm on the fence. I had to see it to satisfy my curiosity, but I don't see myself watching it too often. I'd say rent it first.
