When terrorists plant a bomb on a commercial flight, the passengers and crew aboard must fight to keep the plane in the air: the bomb is rigged to detonate if the plane dips below 800 feet. As those on board try to figure out how to land without harming those in the air or on the ground, it becomes clear that some of the terrorists are on the flight, and willing to do anything to insure the plane explodes without fail.

Alright, I know my Mother reads my reviews on occasion so Mum on the off chance you take the time to read this one, the language in this review might get a little ….. colorful. So, you would think I would have learnt my lesson after the festivals of mysterious insanity but clearly, I didn’t, though in my defence at the time when I sat down to watch Fast and Fierce: Death Race I had no clue that The Asylum was anyway involved with the production and distribution of Fast and Fierce: Death Race. So, I would like to take the opportunity to say to The Asylum ‘Fuck You’ and considering that I was foolish enough to watch two movies by The Asylum I would like to say to myself ‘Fuck You To’. Now for those of you who might not have known The Asylum is in the habit of releasing Mockbusters. A Mockbuster is defined as a film created to exploit the publicity of another major motion picture with a similar title or subject. Mockbusters are often made with a low budget and quick production to maximize profits. The Fast and the Fierce movies were created to exploit the publicity for The Fate of the Furious and Fast & Furious 9. It should also be noted that The Fast and the Fierce movies have overarching plot between them and of the two there is only a vague attempt in Fast and Fierce: Death Race to be like The Fast and the Furious with a clumsy attempt to shoehorn in the ‘I live my life quarter mile at a time’ speech in the third act of the movie, I would also like to add that so far Fast and Fierce: Death Race is the most hilarious movie that I have watched so far this year possibly the past few years. While The Fast and Fierce seemed to be an odd combination of Speed and Executive Decision. As you would expect with any movie from The Asylum both movies come with the same level of bad writing, bad acting and you get what you paid for special effects. While with Fast and Fierce: Death Race there was cars that where clearly not allowed to be damaged.
