people gush about how every vehicle in mad max: fury road was actually constructed, and not just a cg monstrosity.
yo...
death race did that too.
in fact, death race feels like a mad max prison film. it also seems like the launching pad for the crazy state of the fast & furious franchise as it is currently. the movie goes all in on non-stop vehicular carnage, the likes of which in 2008 were rather unseen outside of the twisted metal video games.
now, i'm not spreading blasphemy here- the road warrior was/is the high bar to clear for carmageddon insanity (at least prior to fury road), but death race made a valiant fuckin' effort. there's miniguns and machine guns welded onto the hoods of cars. they have oil slick, ejector seats, and fucking napalm. not even the mad max films indulged in that kind of lunacy.
point being is, death race is a jason statham vehicle, full of crazy video game-esque cars, blowing each other up around a race track at 100 mph. sold yet? the cgi in this movie is implemented sparingly and smartly- especially for 2008, the same year which gave us indiana jones and the kingdom of the crystal skull. it's cinematic trash, but the best kind. the kind that doesn't overstay its welcome, and knows that you're here to see cars, explosions, and lots of crashes.
the movie goes wild with pyrotechnics and practical stunt work. sure, this is just a lunch special while fury road offers up an all-you-can-eat buffet, but is it really a competition? let's celebrate all the insane car-crashy movies we got. this one feels neglected, and a bit ahead of the curve, consider its shared dna with the modern fast & furious movies, and fury road.
also, there's something satisfying about a movie where the villain is a nasty, exploitative, white woman, the police are bad, and the black, gay character isn't comic relief, nor is he depicted as stereotypically effeminate. he even ends up being a good guy. i therefore submit that paul w.s. anderson is the non cringe-y version of michael bay, and death race was ahead of its time.
it's not perfect, but it's a trashy, violent, thrill-ride that effortlessly overcomes its shortcomings with sheer entertainment value.
