Having looked on various websites, I think I've seen the remake and first sequel, but not Death Race 3: Inferno.

Well, come on!

There's an idiot in suspense over here.

I actually loved it but I'm shit at reviews. I find films i don't like or ones that were just meh are easier to review.

[Demdike@Cult Labs]

I'm really pleased.

Couldn't you at least try a review?

Plus, Luke Goss who's a very underrated actor shines in it. One of those films like The Tournament that should have been a big cinema hit but instead went DTV.

I much preferred it to the over rated Mad Max Fury Road.

Death Race 3 is also worth a watch.

Oh! And did i mention Tanit Phoenix?

SOLD!!

I'm thinking it's the picture that sells it to you.

Your first paragraph sold it to me, the picture is just the icing on the cake.

'Roger Corman Films (director and producer):

1: The Undead (1957) - I first saw this when it was featured on an episode of 'MST3K', and even through the comments I cold see it was a wonderful film
2: Little Shop Of Horrors (1960) - Possibly the best film made in 2 days and 3 night! Screamingly funny, and the humour still holds up. ('No Novocaine. It dulls the senses!')
3: A Bucket Of Blood (1959) - The companion piece to 'Little Shop', and a wonderful spoof on the Beatnik films of the era. Possibly an influence on HGL's 'Color Me Blood Red'
4: Rock And Roll High School (1979) - Corman, The Ramones, PJ Soles and Alice Cooper ('School's Out' is on the soundtrack). What's not to like?
5: The Masque Of The Red Death (1964) - Beautifully shot film that, with the use of colour symbolism, transcends the cheap 'B' movie it is
6: X-The Man With X-Ray Eyes (1963) - Downbeat and disturbing ('If thine eye offends thee... pluck it out!')
7: Piranha (1978) - 'Jaws' on a budget!
8: The Raven (1963) - I'm a sucker for a good horror/comedy
9: It Conquered The World (1956) - It's featured at the end of 'Elvira: Mistress Of The Dark' and on the live Frank Zappa album 'Roxy And Elsewhere', Zappa introduced the song 'Cheepnis' with a 2 minute monologue about the film (and horror movies in general), including the comment that cheapness, in the case of a monster movie, has nothing to do with the budget of the film, although it helps' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzxa49fefq8
10: Battle Beyond The Stars (1980) - Um...Sybil Danning!

This may be cheating, but I have 30 films separated into his roles as director, producer, and actor – including uncredited roles – and, for the sake of including more films, I have tried not to duplicate where he has a dual role in the same film. They aren't necessarily in order of preference and, in most cases, or simply in chronological order. As you can see, I like his low-budget stuff with papier mâché models and slightly more well funded and accomplish productions alike, and all films are the originals rather than any remakes.
