Cars Used In The Upcoming Death Race Movie
In 1976, a controversial game called Death Race, was released and received with a lot of criticism and protest causing the game to rise in popularity and later become a much sought after collectors item. The objective of that game was for you to run over creatures called gremlins using a car. While the game play and storyline were pretty simple (with the graphics in your old school black and white color scheme), the objective of running over creatures and hearing them scream connoted violence. This led to numerous protests over the game causing production to stop. But thanks to these protests, the game became a cult favorite that it has now spawned a movie, which will be released this year.
The Death Race movie will star Jason Statham and will be set in a post-apocalyptic setting (ala Mad Max) where prisoners are forced to compete with one another in a driving arena. Statham plays the role of an inmate named Frankenstein who’s forced into racing just days before his release. And since the movie involves racing, a number of notable cars will be making an appearance. One of the most notable is a 2006 Mustang GT (as shown above) that’s been given additional accessories such as guns and window covers. Other vehicles include a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500, a 1966 Buick Riviera, a 1980 Porsche 911, a 1989 Jaguar XJS, a 2006 Chrysler 300C, a 1972 Buick Riviera, a 1979 Pontiac Trans AM, a 1989 BMW 735i, and a Peterbilt truck that’s named “Dreadought.” All the vehicles are designed to look like they’ve seen better days (thanks to the post apocalyptic world they’re in) and are equipped with guns, armor and even a flame thrower (for the Dreadnought).
So if you’re into movies that involve heroes driving cars in a post-apocalyptic world, then Death Race is for you. It’s scheduled for release in August this year. I wonder if the studios were able to find a way to put a cameo of let’s say, Mel Gibson playing the character Mad Max in the movie. That would be awesome.
