The Death Race

I just thought (after watching "Death Race") that it would be very cool if a sequel to the film were created. But before that, I would begin by explaining what the "Death Race" is.

Death Race is a 2008 movie about a futuristic world-wide gladiator-like racing show where racers race for both their freedom and their life. It is based on the original 1975 movie Death Race 2000,a cult science fiction action film. Although Death Race is regarded as a prequel to the Death Race 2000, it still has room for a sequel.

Death Race is about the story of Jensen Ames, an ex-racecar driver and former steel mill worker, who ends up in prison for the murder of his wife. Although it was just a frame-up, he is still imprisoned at the Terminal Island Penitentiary, which is run by a private corporation. The prison's warden is a woman named Hennessey.

After entering jail, Ames gets into a fight with the Aryan Brotherhood gang, led by Panchenko. Hennessey tells Ames that the gang will kill him if he does not join the Death Race. He agrees, and he replaces the masked racer known as Frankenstein, who has already won four races before his death. He goes to the race with Frank's mask on him.


After a series of events, he realizes that Panchenko was the one who framed him for his wife's murder, under direct orders from Hennessey. She did this so that Ames will get arrested and be put in her prison, to replace the late Frankenstein so the shows ratings will not go down.


 In Stage 2, Frank kills Panchenko after an epic head-to-head showdown.

*Note that Frank's car(on the right) is on the reverse.

However, after the showdown, a vicious "beast" known as the Dreadnaught is released by Hennessey. The truck destroys all the racers except for Frank and Machine Gun Joe, who is, until that point in time, Frank's arch-rival. After having a talk over the radio, Joe decides to help Frank destroy the Dreadnaught. They succeeded.

In Stage 3, only Frank and Joe are left. Before the race, however they had a little talk...

Anyway, as the race commences, they fight viciously, until Frank desperately launches his 6-inch thick shield at Joe. Joe was able to swerve away. He then launches his finishing attack: 2 rockets fired from his car's roof. The target was Frank. Frank brakes....

Both racers suddenly disappear through the explosion. Hennessey checks all the cameras. The next thing she saw was that their cars were already heading toward the bridge.

The night before, Frank pointed out to Joe a weakness in the prison walls. They planned on how to exploit that weakness, and they just put on the show. Then they escaped through the breach, then drove to the bridge. The bridge connects the entire Terminal Penitentiary Island to the mainland.

After Frank sends his gas-tank flying to the cops pursuing behind, he gets out of his car and orders Case, his loyal navigator(or co-pilot), to drive the car away to distract the helicopters chasing them. Ames(Frank) and Joe then escape in a freight train towards the border.

Meanwhile after the race, Coach, who is Ames' pitcrew-chief, send's Hennessey a present. When she opens it, she realizes it is the bomb she installed in Frank's car. The bomb then goes off.

"I love this game", says Coach.

After 6 months, Ames and Joe are living a clean life in Mexico. Ames is reunited with his daughter. Then a car suddenly drives toward them. When the person comes out, they realize she's Case....

THE END

Anyway, about the sequel. I'm going to write about a sequel I thought of soon. Just wait a while.

OK?
