    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Frederick Koehler (Lists) and Robin Shou (14k) appear in all three films. Koehler is also rumored to reprise his role in the upcoming fourth film Death Race: Beyond Anarchy (2018).
    • Goofs
      At the end of Death Race 2, Goldberg says: 'I'm sorry Luke didn't live to see this' then Lists says: 'I'm not so sure he didn't'. In the car Katrina also realizes that Frankenstein is actually Carl Lucas. Because he gave the same reply that she gave him on the question: Do you have a name. ( Off course I do )

      So if at least Katrina realizes that Frankenstein is actually Carl Lucas, then why is she so shocked to see him alive in this movie? And why wouldn't she tell Goldberg and Lists?
    • Quotes

      Goldberg: Forget everything you know about racing. Desert-racing isn't about speed, it's about endurance and handling.

      Carl Lucas: Hang on, I thought you didn't know shit about this kind of racing?

      Goldberg: I don't. It's the first thing that came up on Google.

    5/10
    The most awful acting I've seen in a while.
    The first was good, I can even say awesome, the second was bad, the third is awful. This is a disgrace to the Death Race franchise, altho it was not a franchise to be remembered, it was an okay movie series. This one is the worst sequel it could have gotten, since the acting is horrible. Especially that Joker guy and half of the girls, my god, how did they even got past the cast choosing. The end was also very badly put, the idea is okay, put the execution was miserable and not logical. 5/10 and I am being generous.
