Nightmare Fuel / Death Race

Go To

  • The movie includes some Impaled with Extreme Prejudice, I Just Shot Marvin in the Face, and particularly This Is a Drill.
  • The Dreadnaught, a modified oil tanker turned into a complete monster in Death Race. Armed to the teeth with numerous armor piercing firearms, it makes short work of four of the six racers on day two.
    • The hub cap spikes on the wheels are so massive that with the combined weight of the vehicle and the tires, the speed they're spinning, and the relative weight of other cars, they just shred everything they touch, leading to them drilling a massive hole into 14K's passenger door, and because the spike blades are so huge, turning his navigator into soup as if she was put in a large blender.
    • 14K meets his demise after barely escaping the hub spikes, only to end up caught on a large blanket of spiked chains dragging behind the Dreadnought, catching his tires and dragging him along with it, where he gets to look right down the barrel of an artillery cannon mounted to the back of the big rig's trailer.
  • Post-immolation Lucas in the second movie. Most of the corpses in the movie look better.
