  Roel Reine's <i>Death Race 3: Inferno</i> takes the death race off-road.<p>Considering the film is a continuation of <i>Death Race 2</i>, the 100 minute story doesn't have to worry about a ton of buildup. Instead, it finds the time for a solid amount of racing with fillers in between. To top it all off, there is a decent plot twist to sum everything up.</p><p>The speed factor of the death race is taken away in this picture, but the off-road concept of the races proves to be an intriguing factor, complete with a variety of underdeveloped characters and vehicular destruction.</p><p>Luke Goss does enough to carry this film while Tanit Phoenix provides a breadth of fresh air. Dougray Scott is a fitting antagonist with Danny Trejo, Frederick Koehler, and Robin Shou returning to round out the cast.</p><p><i>Death Race 3: Inferno</i> lives up to its title and is a recommendable picture.</p>

  One hell of an exhilarating and explosive action-packed thrill-ride from start to finish. A high-octane action sequel to this hard-edged franchise that continues to bring on the heat. A turbo-charged roller-coaster ride. An adrenaline-charged and wickedly entertaining movie that`s big, epic and truly unrelenting. The action sequences are chase scenes are absolutely spectacular. A big mash of blood, metal and explosions from start to finish. An instant non-stop action classic. It`s packed with suspense and a few really great surprises that will just make you love this film more. Director, Roel Rennie delivers another fun and exciting film in the series. A great and outrageously over the top flick. Luke Goss is terrific once again in the lead role of Carl Lucas, showing he is a more than capable action hero and as a tremendous actor. Dougray Scott is excellent and filled with energy.

  My my what have we here...another straight to DVD sequel, should I be excited?. Well seeing as the first film was actually quite good fun and the second was semi decent fun if rather uninspired, I guess this could be good. Oh but its not...bugger. So the plot, well I'm confused,… More
  My my what have we here...another straight to DVD sequel, should I be excited?. Well seeing as the first film was actually quite good fun and the second was semi decent fun if rather uninspired, I guess this could be good. Oh but its not...bugger. So the plot, well I'm confused, yes believe it or not I am. According to Wikipedia the second film was a prequel to the original...eh? never got that, and this third film is an alternative timeline sequel to the original that follows on from the second...wha?. As far as I see it Statham was 'Frankenstein' in the first film and he escaped. Goss then got burned up in the second and took on the mantle of the MIA 'Frankenstein' character, and now he continues that role into this third film. Well that's how I see it dagnabbit. So the usual videogame-like appearance/ideas from the previous films remain naturally, that mixed with the stupid 'Gladiators/WWF' style setups and intros. The first two films get away with this but it now grows old plus this film does look much more tacky with obviously less money behind it, outside of the car sequences anyway. 'RAZOR!!!' 'watch out for him, he used to be a killer somewhere', oh so I guess he's the bad guy then, well he must be with a name like that, scary!. 'JOKER!!' oh I guess he must...ah you get the picture surely!. The acting is of course ropey but we all knew that, you don't watch films like this for acting skills. Impressive how the continuity has been kept with all cast being retained from the second film, adds a much needed boost to the quality. Its a damn good job Tanit Phoenix looks good cos she sure as hell can't act a tall, her fight choreography is abysmal too. In fact all the fight sequences look terrible and badly constructed, clear misses everywhere, so tame and not required. The biggest laugh of the film is a sequence where all these scantily clad women must fight to the death for the honour of becoming navigators to the male racers!. If ever there was a more obvious ploy to appeal to the wank happy young male viewer, well I haven't seen one this blatant for some time. Lots of women in nothing but hot pants and bras looking like something out of 'Xena Warrior Princess' all cat fighting and chopping each other up whilst getting blood spaying over their large plump bosoms lol!. So so so stupid, not really sexy a tall (although clearly meant to be) and utterly pointless. Gee lets attract more fans simply by sticking in lots of half naked women in a mass killing orgy, plot relevance?...what's that mean?. Pssst...'Katrina' from the previous film is one of the winners, oops! what do you mean you didn't see that coming?!. So yes its your typical 'Running Man' 'The Condemned' 'Battle Royale' 'The Hunger Games' blah blah blah you know. The problem here is we really didn't need yet another film of virtually the same shit all over again, accept this time its in a desert and with even more extreme camera jumping and editing. Seriously the camera cuts from one action shot to another so fast and often it will make you dizzy. Nothing new, same cliches, same outcomes, same implanted body tracking devices, same visuals, same character types but with more half naked women and new cars (why are some guys driving trucks? surely they would be reeeeally slow in the sand? especially with large gun turrets on the back). Man I lost interest when the gorgeous blonde driver got killed off. Funnily the car interiors are so complex looking I fail to see how anyone could drive them at break neck speed whilst trying to faff around with all the intricate touch screen monitors and controls. But I guess reality isn't on the menu here is it, I could go on but there really is no need. A videogame disguised as a film franchise, watch out for the next sequel set on snowy terrain...probably. 'Its a beautiful day to DIE!'

  Third entry in the Death Race franchise expands the plot even more and now Death Race is a global phenomenon. Building on the plot of the prequel, this one offers more action that for a Straight to DVD release that is pretty good and works well as a mindless entertaining action flick. Acting is decent at best, while the plot is good, but leaves room for improvement. It's funny the big theatrical debut of Death Race was a mediocre affair, but the sequels are better and are more interesting as well. I personally view the sequels as fine B movies that are done right. This is a chaotic and pleasant hour and a half that fans of this series should check out. I really liked the film, and it overcomes its flaws, by having an interesting plot and good action scenes that for a low-budget feature are pretty well done. This film is much more fun than the original Death Race starring Jason Statham and along with the second one, is a film worth checking because the filmmakers were able to create something worthwhile for action fans. I love action flicks, and I'm usually skeptical about Straight to DVD titles, and rightfully so, because most of the time, they are poorly made films with awful stories and poor directing and acting. But with Death Race 3, you have a film that will certainly surprise any film lover who love mindless action, but are unsure with these films released direct to DVD. Death Race 3 is not a perfect film, and it has plenty of flaws, but like the second one in the trilogy has an interesting plot that compliments the mindless on-screen carnage. Along with Death Race 2, this is a guilty pleasure that is among the better titles released Straight to DVD. Death Race mediocre, but with the second one, they started to really create interesting concepts, which are appealing and ultimately fun.

  Actually quite enjoyable, if you can ignore the story line. The old characters are back! I love the incorporation of death fight of female convicts, driving through town and even female driver like in the original film; I enjoyed the actions and gore a lot, it's just silly campy… More
  Actually quite enjoyable, if you can ignore the story line. The old characters are back! I love the incorporation of death fight of female convicts, driving through town and even female driver like in the original film; I enjoyed the actions and gore a lot, it's just silly campy fun that doesn't lack good laughs. It's a pretty good sequel and also quite well filmed for a direct-to-DVD sequel, I strongly recommend all the fans of the series to check it out.
