    Death Race aka Twisted Metal

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8E9GEwg_3U

    Could this be any more of a blatant ripoff of Twisted Metal? The concept of the movie is basically the same. Instead of insane asylum rejects killing one another its "convicts" fighting for their freedom.

    You have much to learn young grasshopper, before you start calling properties 'ripoffs' of one another.

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072856/

    Twisted Metal was born from this kind of movie, not the other way around.

    That said this remake is going to be Just. Awful.

    I could see how this is a blatant ripoff from Twisted Metal except this is a movie and TM was a game. I call it creative borrowing of ideas for a different venue.

    Looked like your standard throwaway entertaining yet mindless action movie.

    Edit: Beaten by Correction, Also TM and this movie are very similar to Mad Max too. (the first one)

    The only movie Jason Statham has been in that I absolutely refuse to see was directed by Uwe Boll. I'll see this for sure, if only for Jason Statham, but it doesn't look like a bad movie for what it is.

    Incidentally, Death Race was also a game (in 1976). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_Race


    But yeah, Twisted Metal wasn't exactly the "original" here...

    This looks ok. I would see it just for the action and nothing else.

    If I knew how to edit the title I would have long ago.

    Edit: Never mind, figured it out.

    It'd be more interesting if they didn't reveal the plot twist in the preview trailer.

    This will be a "wait for DVD" for me.
