David Carradine Set To Make Cameo Appearance In Death Race 3000
Posted by Rodneyon 19. 06. 2008in News Chat
It appears that the legendary David Carradine will make a nostalgic cameo in the upcoming Death Race film. We get word of this from Paul W.S. Anderson himself, thanks to an interview he had with our friends at MTV:
“I wanted to tip my hat to the original, but also wouldn’t want it to become a cheesy cameo-fest. There’s obviously been, ‘Oh, where’s the David Carradine cameo?’ It’s there, and I think it’s a nice thing for fans. In fact, I had a conversation with David about the movie this morning.”
I agree with Anderson that cameos can get pretty cheesy. I don’t care for them usually, but having David Carradine in the film is pretty much mandatory. The dude rocked ass in Kill Bill and I hope to see more of him in upcoming projects. It will also be kick ass to see him in this cult universe once again.
International friends – do you think having a Carradine appearance is wise, or would the film be better without a nod to the past?

This is good news. He is great in anything he does. He will help this movie, just like he would help you if he saw you on the street.
Hopefully not in the gimp mask though.
YES.
Boycotting it!
I expected a nwo conspiracy race ending in a failed assasination or not of the world leader. A death race accross America.
Not a Running Man ripoff.
Caradine must need the money.
Seeing as this is a “re-imagining,” a cameo would be wasted. Besides, the original was more compelling and entertaining; this new version looks like a mix of an extended car chase from Escape From New York and Con-Air.
No thanks!
Hey Mangina,
Why is it a “wasted” cameo if it’s a re-imagining? If anything it makes it even more relevant.
And how on earth can you say:
“Besides, the original was more compelling and entertaining”
Have you seen the new movie to make such an assessment?
