    Matt, how much did the studio that was hawking this crap pay Gawker last year? It was non stop Death Race promotion on the old Jalop for a few weeks. I know you weren't alone, as even Matt on Garage 419 did a 15 second commercial on that show. But it was crap, always was crap, always will be crap. It's crap that the crap thinks is crap.


    Moving on, this is the same direction that the Transformer franchise is going, as well as the "X" men franchise, the Star Trek Franchise, and the Terminator Franchise.... the more they make, the crappier they become.

    I laughed for the first 30 seconds and then got bored cuz I've actually seen the movie and it was relatively exciting but...well, ok, I loved it and this clip doesn't do it justice!

    @wrx-TyrannosaurusWrx: I am so with you man. This movie was excellent.


    I think it was also recently mentioned that the leaders of the Jalopresidium NEVER SAW Death Race!!!


    Like the origins of the Solidarity movement or Glasnost, and similar to the fate of the H.M.S. Bounty, there be dissension among the Jaloptariat...

    @ThreeLitre: haha, that movie was so outrageously stupid. It kicked so much ass.


    The ending scene was the best. Where they blew up the warden and the douche head guard? Classic.


    Every scene with Jason Statham's abs rocked too. He's got like a 47 pack. Mmmmm.

    Here at work I can't see the video.... but I'm gonna put my vote in for Super Mario Kart on the SNES as the best of the Mario Kart games!

    Matt, agreed... not very exciting on the Wii, though I do hurt myself with Wii bowling about every other weekend.

    @Lost in the age of Aerostar: Agreed on SNES. After they started adding up-down terrain and gimmicky weapons, it sort of lost that addictive purity.


    IIRC, N64 was fairly good, too.

    1) N64

    I only played the Wii version once, but it seemed better than Double Dash. I don't know either enough to compare them, though.

    Jason Statham is so dreamy! I would totally turn in my straight card for him.


    Was I supposed to get something else out of this? Oh, the Mario Kart music. Amusing. Maybe one of these days I can have enough free time to do something like this.

    @Tomsk the red-nosed reindeer: French cops won't shot you for traffic infractions (unless you are Arab and live in Marseilles), so I think it's safe to say he wasn't supposed to do that.
