Here at GoodBadRemake, we're conscious of getting up ourselves and using this podcast as an excuse to talk only about prestige pictures.
Which is why this week, we're watching two dyed-in-the-wool B-movies.
Death Race 2000 - starring David Carradine and Sylvester Stallone - was made in the mid-70s for a pittance and went on to become a cult favourite. Its remake Death Race - starring Jason Statham, Tyrese Gibson and Ian 'Lovejoy' McShane - was made for $45 million, has spawned three sequels so far and Catherine didn't even know it existed.
Will either of them quench our collective thirst for blood and carnage? Can any three word review ever beat 'Samurai Cowboy USA'? And can the Stath follow where Matt Damon went before and secure a GBR seal of REMAZING?
