Death Race 3, anyone else? - Blu-ray Forum

bigdaddyhorse · 01-24-2013, 04:40 PM

I see 103 people besides me have this in their collection. I just read the review and was kinda stunned by it. I agree with many parts (bad writing, bad editing, shitty performances by some) but found this to be just as much dumb fun as the first 2. For everything that goes wrong with the film, there's something that goes right. Anyone else gonna admit they love this shit as much as me?

It's like the only new release of the last year to not have a thread, so I fix that.

I thought the first one was so bad that I never even saw the second one, much less than third one.

I really enjoyed the first two. Big dumb fun, so I'll definitely be picking up DR3 at some point.

the ONLY good Death Race in my book!

Death Race 2 was much better than its predecessor. I was surprised how good it turned out to be! I think you'll enjoy it.

Al_The_Strange · 01-24-2013, 05:26 PM

I saw it in the store and considered it, but this site's negative review, and the unglodly price of $26 kept me away from it.

Chances are good that I'll buy it when it drops to $15 or less. I do love the other two films.

BeWaterMyFriend · 01-24-2013, 05:28 PM

I didn't even know there was a Death Race 2.

I did like Death Racers starring ICP, though.

I saw this in fye last night and had a good laugh with my wife, as this obviously is just absurd for a movie. I purchased and tried to enjoy the first one(remake)but it just didnt do it for me. I was shocked to see a sequel, although a straight to video release, but, a third, i find that funny at this point. I prefer the original altogether, much better.

Guydowood · 01-24-2013, 05:41 PM

Certainly no one is going to win Oscars over it. But for a decent guilty pleasure movie why not. The first one was good, the second wasn't horrible, and I'll pick-up the third one when it hits $5 bucks!

bunkz323 · 01-24-2013, 05:43 PM

FYI, anyone with a Netflix can catch this on instant video it's on there already, in my Q

thrillmygorilla · 01-24-2013, 05:54 PM

If sales are good enough then perhaps we'll see a Death Race 4 in the futre.

jmb1381 · 01-24-2013, 06:06 PM

Have my copy reserved at movie stop. Going to pick it up tomorrow.I really enjoyed the 1st 2.

sancho · 01-24-2013, 07:12 PM

Picked this up Day 1 at BB

OrlandoEastwood · 01-24-2013, 07:27 PM

I picked up the second film at Blockbuster for $4 used. I liked it. I'll give this a shot if it's under $10.

ObiWanShinobi · 01-24-2013, 07:36 PM

I liked the first one with its "Twisted Metal meets Mario Kart" style of racing, which I thought was fun, loud, silly but entertaining. I was able to overlook the cheesy acting, silly story, and fast paced editing/camerwork.

I tried watching Deathrace 2 on Netflix but just couldnt get into it.

I should give it another try I suppose...and give 3 a try, WHEN it hits Netflix.

Holy crizzzap...that was fast. It just came out right?

Ned Schneebly · 01-24-2013, 09:01 PM

Watched it on Netflix it was decent, makes a good companion piece for part 2. Only part I didn't like was they totally ignored the ending of part 2.

That tends to happen with direct-to-video releases.

Jr7936 · 01-24-2013, 09:23 PM

got the 1st 2 for around 2 dollars, due to the best buy sale on the 1st one and a blockbuster store closing on the 2nd one. now just need to wait for the 3rd one to hit that price or around 5 dollars and i'll be good to go

like another poster set, great mindless dumb fun =)
