From AICN, "I guess Jason Statham is reintroducing himself into the world of film. He did that shitty looking and unreleased Uwe Boll movie and now he's trying to claw back into passable films again. The next wrung of the ladder would be Paul WS Anderson and that's where he is now.He's almost locked in to fill David Carradine's leather as Frankenstein in Anderson's remake of the Roger Corman cult classic DEATH RACE 2000, directed by the brilliant (and late) Paul Bartel.
I guess he's not a bad choice... I mean, he's already making modern day big budget Roger Corman-esque silly shit (CRANK, right?). And it could be an interesting remake, but I just can't get excited about a Paul WS Anderson version of this movie. No word on a rating, but I'm sure we stand a good chance of a watered down PG-13 version of this story. Ick."

Has anyone seen the original?
I'mnotMarc and I watched it a while ago. The main thing one takes away from it is how cheap the whole thing is, but that’s Roger Corman for you. Look at the picture – it’s meant to be the future but it’s obviously just some sun-bleached California roadway with a couple of cheap signs stuck up. They probably spent most of their money on those goofy cars.
Damn I just put it in my Netflix and it's on it's way!
Oh, I didn't mean to deter you from watching it, it's goofy fun. It's just cheap.
