      Audience Member Not horrible, but I am not into the car racing stuff! I did like the part where his car goes in the water and how they deal with it! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member good sequel to deathrace 2000-well kinda a sequel Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member The three stars are entirely for Christopher Lee who seems to be channeling a little less over-the-top version of Jack Lemmon from The Great Race. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Like "Cannonball Run", but set in Africa, without the all-star cast, and not nearly as funny (keeping in mind that "Cannonball Run" was not exactly Noel Coward or Preston Sturges). I like Stockard Channing, so she almost made the film watchable. I also liked seeing Christopher Lee in a Spaceballs-sized helmet as Count Borgia. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Ok its not great cinema by any means, yes it is some horrible direction, and yes it feels like a really bad cartoon most of the time but hey watching actors like Carradine and Channing not to mention the great Christopher Lee, hamming it up so much is enjoyable. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Smokey and the Bandit meets Cannonball Run in Africa. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
