Corrida Mortal 3

"Death Race: Inferno" is an Action - Sci-Fi movie and the third movie of the "Death Race" franchise, in which we watch Carl Lucas, aka Frankenstein being only one win away from his freedom.

After watching the second movie of the franchise I have to admit that I did not have any expectations by this movie. I was surprised after watching it because I actually enjoyed it. The plot was mostly the same as in the two previous movies but there were also some differences. The interpretation of Luke Goss who played as Carl Lucas was good and in this movie he made the difference. In addition to this, there were also some other interpretations that have to be mentioned such as Danny Trejo's who played as Goldberg, Tanit Phoenix's who played as Katrina, Dougray Scott's who played as Niles York and Ving Rhames' who played as Weyland. All in all, I have to say that "Death Race: Inferno" is a nice action movie to spend your time and far better than the second movie of the franchise.

This is another solid five star film that is entertaining if you like this genre, which I do. It is, however, just a rehash of Death Race 2. The film setting goes international, moving the prison setting to a prison in the South African desert. The race is through the harsh & deadly desert, the prisoners are tracked with locator implants, and anyone deviating from the race's route is eliminated with a missile that tracks their implants. Similar rules and challenges as DR2 are hyped up with more, and larger, vehicles, guns, explosions, wrecks, and gore. The company knows that Goss/Lucas/Frankenstein is the reason for the high viewer ratings & magically transform Goss from a third degree burn victim with no ears or lips into 95% of what he looked like before he was burned, and he is racing again in a only a couple of weeks. The over reliance on CGI makes parts of the movie little more than modern Saturday morning cartoons. The major subplot is lots of deceptions, backstabbing, treachery, and double-crossing. No T&A shown, which should be heavily included in order fill out the testosterone driven needs of the demographic group drawn to this type of movie. You will see more T&A watching girls beach volleyball. Entertaining and light with lots of action. Enjoy!

"More cons, more cars, more guns. Sky's the limit." Once again Frankenstein (Goss) is one race win away from freedom. This time though the race has changed. Instead of being inside the prison another man has bought the rights and is taking it global. Fighting in his crew and other deals being made make this a harder race then usual. I have to admit that I do like these movies as cheesy as they are. I loved the first one and enjoyed the second one OK. I may have to re-watch that one though because I was a little confused to start this one. I thought some of the people that were in this died and the plot lines didn't seem to match up. Then the race started and I realized that it didn't really matter, the plots of these movies are just background to the racing and violence. To me that is OK. Much like the other two this is not an award winning movie and acting is iffy at best but it is still very entertaining and well worth checking out if you have seen the others. Overall, not as good as first but fun and exciting to watch still. I liked it. I give it a B+.

In Death Race 3, the Wayland corporation suffers a hostile takeover by some very rich and evil guy, but because he's also very smart he's got a British accent. He wants to turn Death Race into an international series of races at a bunch of prisons all over the world.

Meanwhile Frankenstein is one victory away from gaining his freedom. But Niles (that's the new guy) changes the rules of the game. If Frankenstein wins, he dies. Niles moves Frankenstein and his crew to South Africa where the next multi-stage race will take place. The jail there is some sort of working mine as well.

During the first couple of stages Frankenstein indeed decides not to win, but for the final one he'll have something up his sleeve.

The races themselves are alright, we see lots of interesting scenery and the racers will have to deal with the locals as well as missiles that Niles shots at them whenever he feels like it. There are plenty of fights and lots of neat explosions, but dialogue is something the director can't and won't deal with. Not to mention that at the times the script is pretty painful to have to listen to.

This is one of those movies where at the end you get a recap of how the solution was accomplished. It's interesting but because you don't really care about any of the characters, including Frankenstein, it's almost like it doesn't matter. There is a story here, lots of action, lots of cleavage but only a split second of nudity, the director just doesn't manage to get us involved in any of it.

I just wanna open by saying I hate people who don't judge content by context, and in context, I thought this film was pretty sweet. Yes, there is the continuity problem and some extent of continuity problems- but come on, its a death race movie. Of course Death Race is crap if you judge it by normal movie standards, but death race is death race, man! And while this third installment wasn't a masterpiece, it still delivered enough entertainment for me to go "that was worth it". There's also that ending which, while some might say are cliché or cheesy or "Hollywood endings", I personally thought was awesome. Minus the ultra- numerous plot holes and impossible Hollywood stuff that happens because entertainment conflicts with realism, plus the constant bitching from Danny Trejo and Tanit Pheonix about friendship and deceit is really cheesy and annoying and cheesy and annoying, the only problem I got with this film is that Fred Koehler annoyed the crap outta me with that god awful character "Lists" and the things Lists says which is, as I mentioned before, annoying. However overall, this is a nice finish for a Death Race trilogy, if you bothered to see the first two you might as well see this as well. And yes, let's hope they don't make Death Race #4.
