Deathrace

So we saw Deathrace last night. I know I only have 4 days left to finish before Wincon 2008 but it was worth the diversion. Especially since one of the games I am upsizing is the Car Wars 5th Edition.

The movie is a remake of Deathrace 2000. The original was from 1975 and was pretty campy - but still good fun. They updated the origanal as a bit more gritty but it still kept the flavor of driving cars with weapons mounted on them. All in all, it was what we were looking for when we went to go see it. Sadly, Robert LaSardo has too small a role and dies as seen in the trailer.

Car Wars was made back in 1981 based on movies like Deathrace 2000. The new Deathrace has very much a Car Wars feel to it.
