I was fearing this could be totally stage-bound.
Out of curiosity, was there any actual nudity in the film? If not, it seems an incredible cop-out, considering the central premise of the movie. Death Race 3 is a prime example. The DVD made such a big deal about containing both the release version and an unrated version. I watched the unrated version. There was one very brief scene where a woman stands nude under leaky pipes in a prison cell, covering up. No one else was in the scene. I guess she wanted a totally closed set. Must have been a clause in her contract that she had to appear nude, and she gave it her very least and most boring shot. In contrast, the original Death Race 2000 had some generous and whacky sections of nudity, and that the release version.
A writer friend of mine recently opined that science fiction was getting downright puritanical -- certainly in the magazines. The editors are afraid of limiting their audience by one iota and are playing it ultra safe. Sigh. What's the world coming to?
