Getaway driver Carl "Luke" Lucas ( Luke Goss) is captured after a bank robbery gone bad, in which he was to protect the nephew of crime boss Markus Kane ( Sean Bean). The first prequel to the 2008 film reveals the origins of Frankenstein. It is unknown if the Frankenstein mantle was resurrected by the next warden. Afterwards, Coach ( Ian McShane), a member of his pit crew, detonates a bomb in Hennessey's office, killing both her and Ulrich. With only his pit crew knowing the truth about Frankenstein, Ames goes on to uncover what happened to his predecessor, kills Pachenko during the race, and ultimately succeeds in using the race to escape, along with his chief rival, Machine-Gun Joe ( Tyrese Gibson). Ames decides to win the Death Race and use it as a means of revenge. Hennessey explains that Frankenstein is the most popular racer in the history of the race, and ratings would take a sharp hit if his death were announced.Īmes soon learns that Hennessey was behind his wife's murder, using Ulrich ( Jason Clarke), the lead guard, and Pachenko ( Max Ryan), a fellow racer.
The previous Frankenstein had already won four out of five races necessary to secure freedom, requiring Ames to only win one more race. The previous Frankenstein was killed in a fiery crash, though the prison population believes he has simply spent the last six months recovering in the infirmary. Ames must assume the mantle of Frankenstein, the current leading racer, whose appearance is covered by a mask. Terminal Island is home to a televised gladiator-style race called the Death Race, and Ames soon finds himself forced to race by the tyrannical Warden Hennessey ( Joan Allen). In the 2008 remake of the 1975 film, ex-race driver Jensen Ames ( Jason Statham) is imprisoned on Terminal Island after he is framed for his wife's murder. He then assumes the office of President himself and puts an end to the race. Although his plans to win the race and destroy the government are nearly ruined by the actions of a Resistance movement, he eventually succeeds in both winning the race and killing Mr. The current Frankenstein ( David Carradine) is disillusioned with the government, as well as the race, and he plans to assassinate the tyrannical Mr. In this way, with each man donning the same alias and disguise, Frankenstein seems to be an unkillable opponent who survives any crash or injury. In reality, it turns out that there have been several Frankensteins over the years – each one recruited by the government to replace their injured or killed predecessors. A symbol of the ruling totalitarian government, he is a feared racer who is purported to be half-man, half-machine. In the original 1975 film, Frankenstein is portrayed as the reigning champion of the Transcontinental Road Race, an annual gladiator-style cross-country race.
