![]() Before he became the famous Frankenstein, Carl Lucas (Luke Goss) was a getaway car driver for a crime boss Markus Kane (Sean bean). ![]() Anybody remember the cool sounding masked Driver "Frankenstein" who appeared at the beginning of 2008's Death Race? Well here is his origin story too. In Death Race 2, we discover the origins of the dangerous game how it went from a simple prison fight caught on camera to full blown TV ratings dependent gladiatorial combat and then, to boost ratings, the brutal Death Race. Now fans of the 2008 crash and burn thrill ride of a movie are in for a treat here. Heck even the main characters looks the same only with different names. This cheap direct to video prequel, not a sequel as the "Death Race 2" title might seem to imply, is just more of the same. ![]() Be honest, was the 2008 Death Race film (itself a remake of the 1975 B movie Death Race 2000) actually avant garde cinema? No it was not! It was a loud, visceral, simple action movie all style, little substance in the grand Paul WS Anderson tradition.
