Death Race 2

Sign in to edit

Death Race 2 is a 2010 action film directed by Roel Reiné as well as written by Tony Giglio, who co-developed its story with Paul W. S. Anderson. A co-production between Germany and South Africa, it is the prequel to Anderson's 2008 film Death Race (which is itself a prequel to 1975's Death Race 2000) and the second installment in the Death Race franchise. The film stars Luke Goss as Carl "Luke" Lucas, a convicted cop killer sentenced to life in a notorious private prison where he is forced to fight to the death live on the titular reality show in a bid for freedom. Fred Koehler, Tanit Phoenix, Robin Shou, Lauren Cohan, Danny Trejo, Ving Rhames, and Sean Bean appear in supporting roles; Koehler and Shou reprise theirs from Death Race.

Death Race 2 was greenlit as a prequel that tells the origin story of franchise protagonist Frankenstein without the directorial involvement of Anderson, who was retained as producer, and the appearance of Jason Statham. Reiné signed on to direct the project and filming began in Cape Town, South Africa, in 2010. Universal Pictures released the film direct-to-video through its home entertainment division on January 18, 2011, although it set the earliest release date for the United Kingdom, December 27, 2010. The film received generally favorable reviews, with many critics choosing it over the previous film. Reiné also directed a direct-to-video sequel, Death Race 3: Inferno (2013).

Plot[]

Getaway driver Carl "Luke" Lucas attempts to rob a bank for crime boss Markus Kane. During the robbery, two officers coincidentally enter the building. Luke tells his accomplices to abort, but they refuse; Luke intervenes, but it results in the death of one of the robbers. Luke kills an officer and dumps off his accomplices to fulfill Markus's wishes. Luke is captured following a chase and sentenced to prison. Six months later, he is transferred to Terminal Island.

Terminal Island is a private prison controlled by Weyland Corporation, which hosts "Death Match", a televised pay-per-view competition where two dangerous convicts are forced to fight to the death or submission. The prisoners are given access to weapons or defense items to use during the fight by stepping on a marked plate in the arena. Death Match is hosted by September Jones, a former Miss Universe who lost her crown due to allegations of having a sexual relationship with the judges. She now works for Weyland Corporation owner R. H. Weyland to generate profit from the pay-per-view subscribers of Death Match. Luke meets Lists, Goldberg, and Rocco, as well as catches the attention of September after protecting the cowardly Lists from an attempted assault.

Luke rejects September's proposal that he fight in exchange for privileges in prison and spurns her sexual advances. In retaliation, September chooses Lists to fight in a Death Match against a physically imposing black opponent, Big Bill, from whom Luke protected him. Luke jumps over a barbed fence to fight for Lists and is briefly assisted by convict and ring girl Katrina Banks. A riot breaks out during the fight sparked by racial tension; convicts force their way into the arena, and some of them attempt to rape the female convicts. Katrina defends herself and helps the other women, who are then evacuated. When guards intervene, Luke surrenders. Markus, worried that Luke will trade information on his crimes for immunity, discovers his location at Terminal Island while watching Death Match. Luke is treated for his wounds and sparks up a conversation with Katrina, whom he thanks for assisting him.

Markus puts a $1 million bounty on Luke's head and convinces some of the prisoners to kill him. Meanwhile, September comes up with the idea of converting Death Match into a race-car match where the contestants will have to race each other in heavily-armed, armored vehicles over three days. Weyland likes the idea enough to incorporate freedom as prize to whoever manages to win five races in what he names "Death Race". Luke joins the race with a pit crew comprising Lists, Goldberg, and Rocco, during which other prisoners try to kill him to earn Markus's bounty. The female convicts are brought back to play navigator for each racer, and Katrina is paired with Luke.

After winning the first race, Luke is congratulated by Weyland, who brings in Katrina as a prize. Once left alone, Luke and Katrina briefly banter with each other and have sex. Later, September puts Luke in solitary confinement to protect him from prisoners and guards who wish to fulfill Markus's bounty, and Katrina is brought to Markus, who offers her freedom in exchange for killing Luke.

During the second race, Luke intervenes in an altercation between two other racers and saves triad member 14K, who then claims to be indebted to Luke. Afterward, Katrina informs Luke about Markus's offer. Luke ejects her from the car after discovering that it was sabotaged by one of their pit crew members. Defenseless, he gets blown up by Big Bill's heat-seeking missile; Big Bill's navigator fatally stabs her partner after he kills his own pit crew and grabs her by the throat. Katrina and Luke's pit crew fail to save Luke from the burning car, leaving him engulfed in flames. Unknown to everyone but September, Luke survives albeit badly burnt; she coerces him into joining the race in a mask under the moniker "Frankenstein".

As the last race begins, a triad assassin sent by 14K raids Markus's mansion and executes Markus as a favor to Luke. Lists kills Rocco (who tampered with Luke's car) and Luke kills September by running her over with his car, after which he races with the other competitors.

Production[]

Development and pre-production[]

A prequel to writer-director Paul W. S. Anderson's 2008 film Death Race, which itself is a prequel to 1975's Death Race 2000,[7] was put into development by August 2009.[8] Screenwriter Tony Giglio described the prequel, which was tentatively titled Death Race: Frankenstein Lives, as "an origin film, in every sense", exploring the origins of the "Death Race", and the characters Frankenstein, Case, and Lists. Giglio conceived the protagonist, Carl "Luke" Lucas, as a stark contrast to the Jason Statham character that headlined the previous film, saying: "He wasn't framed. He's not fighting to get out to save his children. He's a convicted cop killer. A guy who's worked for the [American] mob his whole life. A true anti-hero."[9] Universal Pictures greenlit Giglio's script in November 2009.[10] Neither Anderson nor Statham returned for the prequel due to other commitments, though Anderson remained as producer with Jeremy Bolt and Mike Elliott.[8][11][12] Dutch director Roel Reiné signed on to direct in December 2009, when he had just completed production on The Marine 2.[13] Other key crew members on the film include production designer Johnny Breedt, editors Radu Ion and Herman P. Koerts, and composer Paul Haslinger, who had scored the previous film.

Reiné called the script "a really cool prequel to the Death Race world", although he made some revisions on it. One of these includes adding a fight scene and high-speed police chase to the bank heist sequence to establish Luke as a skilled fighter and high-performance driver before the "Death Race" sequences, which do not begin until one hour into the film. Other reasons Reiné did so were because the original film was unable to show but merely tell that the Statham character is a skilled driver before "Death Race", and that Giglio's script lacked enough action scenes in the first 30 pages. Inspired by the flamethrowers mounted on the armored truck in the previous film, Reiné revised a "Death Match" sequence he described as "a very regular stage fight with some weapons" to include a flamethrower battle between Luke and his opponent to "bring it up a notch". Reiné also incorporated different beats to the racing scenes, which he felt were derivative of those in the previous film. Likewise, Reiné lobbied to add some slow, tender moments to the script to pause for character and drama and manage its rapid pace. Giglio's script, for example, originally had Luke immediately brought to fight in a "Death Match" by the time he is sent to prison as opposed to, as Reiné suggests, taking a moment to sympathize with Luke as he sits in his cell contemplating his fate as a prisoner for life.

To facilitate the visual style he had planned for the film, Reiné lobbied to serve as his own cinematographer and camera operator — particularly on the "A" camera — in lieu of working with a cinematographer commissioned by the studio. When Universal agreed, Reiné was allowed to hire whom he described as a "really, really high-end" South African gaffer, John McKay, to "basically light the movie" as he shot everything; even so, McKay received sole credit as "director of photography".[14] Because Universal wanted the film shot on high definition, Reiné opted for the Sony CineAlta F35 and the Phantom digital movie cameras. Upon performing a test shoot of the cameras, Reiné found the F35 and the Phantom produced desirable image qualities, had better shutter speeds, and could manage when used in quick, hand-held scenarios.

Casting began in November 2009.[12] On March 1, 2010, The Hollywood Reporter's Heat Vision blog reported that Luke Goss, Sean Bean, Lauren Cohan, Ving Rhames, Danny Trejo, and Frederick Koehler had joined the cast.[15] Reiné said he was "so lucky" to get both Goss and Bean on board the project, as they were his top picks to play Luke and his boss, respectively. To persuade Bean to join the cast of a relatively low-budget prequel, Reiné had to ask Anderson to do it on his behalf by way of Anderson and Bean's previous collaboration on Shopping (1994), Anderson's feature directorial debut. Goss told Den of Geek he accepted the lead role because he was largely sold on the script, which he thought had a plot-driven story beyond the "fun" action set pieces.[16] Of Rhames's casting, Reiné said he offered Rhames the role of a powerful tycoon over the phone, which Rhames accepted and gave ideas about the character. Reiné approached Trejo to play an inmate despite what he perceived to be Trejo's "very busy" schedule working on big-budget films every year. Koehler and Robin Shou, according to Reiné, were both delighted to reprise their roles from the previous film, and that each was given more character beats than in the original.

Reiné said the production managed to locate almost all of the cars from the original film in the United States, where they bought them back from their respective collectors, and that they had to rebuild the missing two — a Dodge Ram and a Chrysler — "from scratch".

Filming[]

With a $6–18 million budget, principal photography began on February 13, 2010, on location in Cape Town, South Africa. The film is a co-production between Germany and South Africa,[3] and attracted tax breaks for being filmed in South Africa. Reiné directed the 30-day shoot without a second unit, which he had always declined in favor of shooting independently. To manage the budget and schedule, Reiné said he opted for locations in which he could "at least have four or five sets going at the same time"; on each day he would split his time between interior and exterior sets, shooting scenes that were spread across different locations. The film was shot with two each of the Sony CineAlta F35 and Phantom digital cameras. Because of the weight of the F35, Reiné relied upon the Phantom when he would shoot handheld in addition to slow motion shots. Besides slow motion, Reiné incorporated 360-degree tracking shots as well as "handheld crane shots" for a major "Death Match" sequence, which he accomplished with wire work.

Prison scenes were shot in an abandoned cement factory near slums outside Cape Town.[2] In a castle Reiné said to be located "in the center of Cape Town", a narrow tunnel was used as prison tunnel, and scenes set in the Weyland Corporation headquarters were shot in the Cape Town International Convention Center. A now-defunct hospital was used as the prison clinic despite Reiné's complaints about its "disgusting" smell of dried human blood emanating from dirty towels "from 10, 20 years ago" in one of the rooms. The scene where Luke undergoes transformation as "Frankenstein" was shot in the hospital's kitchen area.

According to Goss, he and Reiné decided some shots of his driving sequences would be filmed as he drove the cars, citing the 1968 film Bullitt as an influence.[17] Reiné said the police chase on the freeway, which ends at Cape Town's unfinished bridge, could not be shot until Sunday, between six to nine o'clock in the morning. Reiné had trouble with the dilapidated Ford Mustang when shooting Goss' test drive sequence, saying it would either break down or not start at all on the crew, in which case he "had to push it for the next day". Racing scenes were shot in the cement factory, among two or three other locations. Reiné said the cars on these sequences had to undergo repairs overnight, as they would often break down during the day. Reiné said he resorted to incorporating into the racing sequences 20 percent of the unused second-unit footage from the original film because, unlike Anderson, he did not have enough time to shoot his own racing scenes, which he completed for just a week. In the same week, according to Reiné, he was also shooting crash sequences to destroy the cars.

Post-production[]

Editing lasted nine to ten weeks; Anderson and producers Jeremy Bolt and Paula Wagner oversaw the process. The editors' cut ran two hours and thirty minutes, and Reiné's own cut brought this length down to two hours. Cuts made to the establishing scenes from what was originally an eight- to ten-minute opening sequence set in the prison yard yielded a final cut that runs one hour and forty minutes. Reiné credits the film's condensed version of the opening sequence to editing notes Anderson relayed during post-production. One of the cuts that was kept from editors Radu Ion and Herman P. Koerts's assembly footage was the seduction scene in the prison showers featuring Luke Goss and Lauren Cohan, which Reiné said was "really put together" and worked well together with Goss and Cohan's performances.

Stunts[]

Driving stunts were performed with very little computer-generated imagery (CGI), a decision that was influenced by Reiné's affinity for 1980s action films using this approach.[2] Reiné said that while the film contains a total of 700 visual effects shots, these were largely the result of post-production works such as compositing and wire removal. Likewise, Reiné eschewed stunt doubles in favor of having the actors stage their own fighting, which stunt coordinator Adam Horton described as "more street style, it's more rough, it's more cage fighting, UFC, like Pride".

For the police chase sequence, the production was loaned a Ford Shelby GT500 Super Snake that had to be returned in pristine condition. To that end, Reiné designed the sequence with the Goss character, unlike the police, not crashing into anything. Goss told Motor Trend he asked Reiné and the producers for permission to let him do most of his driving with the Shelby, proving he could do so by performing Reiné "a J turn and some 360s".[18] In addition to teaching Goss basic lessons on how to drive the Shelby, the stunt drivers disabled its traction control and anti-lock braking systems to facilitate his stunts.[18] On shooting the sequence, Goss stated:

As I brake, I know there's a stunt driver behind me that has to brake. He doesn't know exactly when I'm going to do it because I'm trying to find a line. The stunt driver is driving a police car, so he's chasing me in the story. He needs to get super close but I can't help thinking if I brake too dramatically — bang! I don't want to hit anyone, and not all of our drivers that day were stunt drivers. Some of them were told 'keep your line, don't deviate' so that when I'm trying to find a line through, it wasn't choreographed. It was a little intimidating but a lot of fun.[18]

An AOL Moviefone journalist who served as an extra wrote Robin Shou was nearly killed on set when a rapidly descending metal gangway narrowly missed his head. The extra, Jason Newman, said a miscommunication between Shou and the stunt coordinators on his prison-fight sequence with Hennie Bosman led to the incident. Of this near-death experience, Shou said he "has never been so shaken".

Release[]

Universal Pictures released Death Race 2 direct-to-video through its home entertainment division on January 18, 2011,[19] although it set the earliest release date for the United Kingdom, December 27, 2010.[4] Both the DVD and Blu-ray contain rated and unrated versions as well as bonus contents including documentaries on the cars, stunts and canonicity of the film, deleted scenes, and a feature-length commentary by the director Roel Reiné.[20][19] Universal released a double-feature collection containing Death Race 2 and Death Race on October 9, 2012.[21] All four films in Universal's Death Race franchise were released in a collection on October 2, 2018.[22]

According to The Numbers, home video sales of Death Race 2 in the United States were $8.4 million,[23] with 218,000 ($4.04 million) DVD copies sold in its opening week, making it a decent debut for a straight-to-DVD release. In the same week, 50,000 Blu-ray copies were sold.[24]

Sequel[]

Main article: Death Race 3: Inferno

The "ardent global following" of Death Race and its prequel sparked Universal's interest on a sequel, Death Race 3: Inferno. Reiné and screenwriter Tony Giglio returned for the sequel, as did Luke Goss, Danny Trejo, Ving Rhames, Fred Koehler, Robin Shou, and Tanit Phoenix, alongside series newcomers Dougray Scott and Hlubi Mboya. Filming took place in Cape Town, South Africa, in late 2011. Universal 1440 Entertainment released Death Race 3: Inferno direct to video on January 22, 2013.[25][26]

Reception[]

The film garnered generally positive reviews upon its release.[27] IGN said that while it was neither original nor guaranteed to please opponents of its "highly mediocre" Paul W. S. Anderson-directed predecessor, the film connected well with his as a prequel and delivered an ample helping of kinetic action.[20] Contrarily, the Daily Mirror felt it was not as "highly enjoyable" as its predecessor, nor was it bound to please audiences who are sober or have no strong inclination toward genre elements such as "guns, girls and growling engines".[28] Despite the criticism, many publications but Total Film and the Winnipeg Free Press said the film was better than Anderson's. While scoffing at the idea of "prequels to remakes", Salon insisted that the film was still "better than it has any right to be".[11] The action scenes were singled out by most for further praise,[27] with their quality described as "solid"[11] and "nicely staged".[29] While finding nothing particularly surprising about the origins of "Death Race", Den of Geek wrote that "the fights we see (in "Death Match") add a Running Man level of violence and excitement that, for me, were more exhilarating than when the film inevitably makes its transition to four wheels".[4] Total Film also cited "the Beyond Thunderdome-style gladiatorial Death Matches" as some of the film's "guiltily enjoyable moments", but said the final racing scenes were "anti-climactic and akin to watching someone else's drunken game of Mario Kart".[30] Even so, many publications, but The A.V. Club, which found the film to be boring and "a total waste of time",[1] felt it was an entertaining full-bore action romp, and DVD Talk called it "an intermittently entertaining actioner".[5]

Screen Daily found the film well cast[29] and IGN called the cast "pretty terrific",[20] while Total Film said the performances were "awful".[30] Luke Goss, whose performance in "a thankless role" was deemed satisfactory by DVD Talk,[5] was considered by others to be a worthy successor to Jason Statham.[4][30][29] Most reviews further praised the supporting cast,[27] with Sean Bean, Ving Rhames, and Danny Trejo credited by some with adding entertainment value with what The Record deemed "scenery-chewing" performances.[4][31] Den of Geek said the film struggles with its treatment of female characters, and that Tanit Phoenix and Lauren Cohan were made to play Goss's love interest and a "ruthlessly ambitious arch bitch" devoid of emotional depth and dignity; according to the reviewer: "I think what's more of a shame, though, is that the female cast wasn't given the same attention as the males".[4] Total Film said the acting is "awful" but that Bean at least "provides welcome respites from all the prison-based dullness".[30]DVD Talk commented that the whole point of the film is to show not acting prowess but bloody violence, guns, and women as sexual objects, citing Cohan's "agonizing, cleavage-popping performance" in a promiscuous role as an example.[5]

IGN and Screen Daily called Death Race 2's production values spectacular for a direct-to-video release,[20][29] whereas ComingSoon.net criticized them as shoddy.[32] Exclaim! said: "Visually, Death Race 2 is impressive... but Reiné relies on too many clichés, such as elongated slow motion and a horrible electronic soundtrack seemingly pulled from a decade-old [The] Matrix clone, which grates more than entertain".[33] ComingSoon.net said Reiné abandoned plot for "tons of flashy slow-motion shots, multiple 360-degree pans and countless 'cool looking' inserts".[32] DVD Talk described Death Race 2 as "a visually stimulating picture that keeps to basic ingredients", praising its stunts, "crisp cinematography", and willingness to fully take advantage of its premise "with a little more spunk" than its predecessor.[5] IGN credited Reiné with making the film look slick and more expensive than its budget suggests on Blu-ray,[20] while HorrorNews.net found the editing "top notch" and the soundtrack "pretty bad".[34] Den of Geek said the film "still had moments of unfinished effects ... but, if anything, it added to the B-movie charm",[4] and Fearnet found it "quite a bit better than what normally passes for a 'DTV sequel'".[31]
