Death Race is the 2008 update of the 1975 cult film Death Race 2000. The film was directed by Paul W.S. Anderson (2002's Resident Evil) and stars Jason Statham as a former race car driver who is sent to prison after being framed for the murder of his wife. While in prison, he is forced to replace a masked driver known as Frankenstein and participate in a sadistic race where the convicts drive their heavily armed vehicles in a fight for survival and for freedom. A DTV prequel, Death Race 2, was released in 2011.

The Vehicles of Death Race
The following lists the armaments carried by the vehicles of Death Race:
Frankenstein: "The Monster" 2006 Ford Mustang GT
Jensen Ames (Jason Statham), aka "Frankenstein", drives a 2006 Ford Mustang GT known as "The Monster", and is armed with the following:
M134 Miniguns
The main offensive armament are twin M134 miniguns hood-mounted on the passenger side of "The Monster". Coach (Ian McShane) mentions that the miniguns are "30mm machine guns", but in reality the barrels reveal that they are the miniguns that fire 7.62mm rounds (he was probably meant to say .30 caliber machine guns).
MG42/MG3
During the opening race, the original Frankenstein (who was voiced by original cult film star David Carradine) armed "The Monster" with three bonnet-mounted MG42 machine guns. These were replaced by the dual miniguns after the Monster was destroyed by an RPG from Machine Gun Joe. Interestingly, the Monster is one of the lightest-armed vehicles in the movie.
Other
Smoke/Napalm tanks - "The Monster" carries smoke, oil and napalm tanks for defensive purposes. Fuel Tank - used very ingeniously by Jensen to get some guards off his tail. "The Tombstone" - Six-inch steel rear armor plate that, combined with high speed, becomes a useful projectile. It is also claimed that .50 caliber bullets could cut through it in seconds, which is highly unlikely, they'd more likely scratch it. Used by the original Frankenstein (David Carradine) in the first race and Jensen Ames at an attempt to take out Machine Gun Joe Mason (Tyrese Gibson) out of the final race.
