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. The character has been played by David Carradine, Jason Statham, Luke Goss, Dougray Scott, Manu Bennett, and Velislav Pavlov.Ĭharacter biography Death Race 2000 (1975) Within the film universe, the character is an alias taken on by other characters who participate in the titular race.
