The Final Word
Death Race 2 is a bad film, its decision to show the evolution of the Death Race was clumsily put together, the characters make no sense and the acting is hit and miss. It should have been a 'so bad it is good' film but even misses the mark there. It is a shame because the movie actually looks and sounds great and with some tweaking and a bit larger budget this could have been another cult favorite. As it stands Death Race 2 is simply a pretty mess.

I liked it better than the first. The only thing I didn't like was the title, it doesn't make sense to call it Death Race 2. Should have stuck with original title, Frankenstein Lives. Not a perfect movie, but still better than anything Roger Corman has done in over 20 years.
