dave smith Let me start out by saying wow! This movie is SO poorly done I can't even dream up something positive to say about this atrocious pile of garbage. Although, I did only catch the last 45 mins or so of this....movie? I haven't read all the reviews posted but the third one says something to the effect that they liked it or something and no they aren't on drugs but I am on drugs and yet I still find this film impossible to enjoy. I suppose maybe because it's killing my buzz. I truly didn't believe a film as poorly done as this was even possible welp!, I'm now a believer. We've all seen really bad movies but, it's as if all parties involved intentionally tried, no, not tried but gave it their all to make what some of us have had the unfortunate experience of witnessing. I didn't laugh once I simply tried to make myself as comfortable on the couch as possible cause get ready first time viewers it's gonna be painful. The dialog is akin to listening to a bunch of high school dudes hangin out after football practice. The acting is also a complete debacle and I may be giving the folks appearing in film too much credit simply stating how poor the acting is. Finally we have the music as most other reviews stated the ICP song just loops and loops and loops. Yes, I do agree with anyone else that found it terribly annoying. I feel embarrassed for these people who actually dared to appear in the film. This flick absolutely sinks to a new low and not only does it sink like a lead balloon it completely obliterates anything in the category of pure crap! I could go on and on and I have to some degree but I just had to vent my frustrations. If you think you're going to be as annoyed as I was this is a must skip. If you insist on watching it because like myself I sometimes catch myself saying how bad can it be? Go dunk your head in a toilet!
joel_exc A Haunting In Winchester County was a good Asylum movie. Death Racers however is complete crap. I love Insane Clown Possee but their efforts are wasted here. TERRIBLE direction. AWFUL script. NO CARS!!!! Why do I keep buying these bloody dvds? Great idea for a movie. NO CRASHES & NO CORPSES Just sit and think about how good this film COULD be rather than buying it! Not even worth the pound I paid for it... STOP READING NOW. Why does Internet Movie Database INSIST on Ten Lines per review? It is daft. To be honest i am just filling up the lines with GIBBERISH now. Fun seven fish cushion. He went back to the house and harrowing tool plus will idealisation identified the little objects.
Viva_Chiba No, i am not on drugs, this is definitely the best B-movie of the decade, since that i am a lover of B-movies and other movies like this, i wanted to see a so called "Mockbuster" made by Asylum.Death Racers was made for capitalize on the remake of the movie Death Race 2000. I think that Death Racers has far more elements of the original movie than the official remake !Despite the low budget, Death Racers is entertaining, but don't expect a "car N chicks" movie a la "Fast and furious".There is some cheap (but fun) gore, even some brief nudity from one of the suicide girls chicks. Most of the music is made by the Hip-hop duo Insane Clown Posse (they play them self in the movie), i like their music, i am not a juggalo but i like the music that hangs around them.Death Racers is shot on digital, using the same nauseating color scheme over and over, the audio mixing is bad, sometimes you don't understand what the actors say.
Paul Andrews Death Racers is set in the near future where Govenor Reagan Black (Robert Pike Daniel) has a big problem, in a prison built on a old water treatment plant some bloke (Scott Levy) is threatening to release a poisonous gas called Serin into America's water supply resulting in lots of people's death's. For some reason instead of dropping a bomb on this bloke's head Govenor Black decides to hold a 'Death Race' where four teams of criminals are given the chance to earn their freedom by making it to this bloke now called 'The Reaper' for Death Racer purposes & kill him & therefore saving millions of American lives. The teams are the Severed Head Gang (S.H.G), Homeland Security, Vaginamyte & the Insane Clown Posse (I.C.P.) who all drive silly cars & all try to earn their freedom by killing The Reaper bloke...Directed by Roy Kynrim this is yet another 'Mockbuster' rip-off from those extremely untalented people at The Asylum, an obvious rip-off of Death Race (2008) with only two letters difference in the title Death Racers is easily one of the worst films I have ever seen. Right first off lets talk about the positives aspects of Death Racers, the female team are called Vaginamyte which is a quite amusing & rude play on the word Dynamite. That's it. That's the only good thing about Death Racers since everything else is absolutely terrible from the awful script to the pathetic action. Death Racers tries to be clever with some social satire including Big Brother reality TV style coverage of the Death Racers but it's so badly done & boring as to be a liability & quite frankly it's much worse than the reality TV it's sending up. Then there's the misleading title, anyone would think that death racers is about a race with lots of death involved but the cars that the death racers drive are almost inconsequential to the pot & are only there to tie in with Death Race it's ripping off & to get our criminal character's from 'A' to 'B' where The Reaper is. There is no race, there is no start or finish line & no track, no innocent pedestrians get mowed down & apart from a few rubbishy scenes of the cars driving along they barely feature. To be honest I think a lot of (our) time & (our) pain could have been saved if these guy's were just flown in by helicopter & dropped off where The Reaper was (they clearly knew where he was hiding since the GPS systems in the cars was supposed to take them to him). Death Racers is awful, it's boring, painful to watch, painful to listen to, it has plot holes galore with a terrible twist towards the end that is one of the most dull I've seen in a while, the character's are annoying, the film is made up of random events rather than a coherent story & I really can't stress just how bad Death Racers is, you have been warned.The production values are laughable, the location seems to be some sort of parking lot where these cars 'speed' along going nowhere in particular. The film has this awful cheap video look & colour scheme that just screams cheap, instead of the sky being blue it's white & all the colours are just 'turned down' & muted for want of a better expression. The violence & gore are tame, there's a couple of awful looking decapitations, a severed arm & hand (probably the same prop to save money just cut down!) & not much else. Now I don't live in the US so I didn't realise but apparently the I.P.C. (Insane Clown Posse) are a real hip-hop band & quite frankly they are awful here & I presume that at least some of the terrible soundtrack is down to them. Beside these two insane clown dudes former WCW Champion & professional wrestler Scott Levy makes his film debut here & is terrible. The cars look cheap & the guns & rocket launchers attached look like they are made out of cardboard or something, the Roboman thing also looks terrible & in a poorly shot scene (IE: you barely see anything) dons a large metallic strap-on & anally rapes a woman.Filmed on a budget that probably wouldn't buy a round at my local pub Death Racers looks terrible with rock bottom production values (the Governor's office is decorated with a flag hanging from the ceiling) & an awful cheap shot on video look. The acting if it can even be described as such is awful from all involved.Death Racers is a terrible film from start to finish & is truly awful on every level both conceptually & technically, this is a real chore to sit through. So far the IMDb comments page is littered with one star reviews & heres another, the IMDb User Ratings page says that more people voted Death Racers a lowly one star than all the other ratings put together. Do yourself a really big favour & avoid this at all costs, you have been warned!
