Death Race: Inferno (2013)

Holy shit, I just bought this and it's nuts. The action itself is pretty good and the story is what you expect from a sequel to a straight-to-DVD movie. But what this makes up for in reason, it loads of errors and gaffs, like showing a guy being blown up in his car while he tries to escape but when you see him inside his rolling car, it's actually the stuntman wearing his helmet in a stunt rig.

 

At least this time there is more death racing than in the last movie, though there is a bimbo battle royal to decide who the navigators will be which of course includes flamethrowers.

Yay! Let's do a complete plot reset on the prequelitis of the last film, so that we can go for 100% prequelitis. Because you need two completely contradictory, uninteresting backstories to a minor character in the first film that's killed off immediately. Splendid work, everybody!

To be fair the one thing these prequels do well is that they do not contradict the original remake for the most part. The right amount of nods to the first movie along with tying up loose ends works well, it's just some lazy shooting on stunts and some bland characters that brings this down quite a bit.
