Corrected entry: When Frank is looking at the picture of his daughter he rips one big piece, but when the camera pulls away you see him drop one piece then rip another piece and let them fall. Back zoomed in, only the one big piece is missing.

Correction: Actually, "Frank" rips off the large upper left corner of the picture (with the other man holding his daughter), AND the bottom right corner of the picture.

Corrected entry: When explaining about the car, 'Coach' points at the twin guns on the cars hood saying "and twin 30mm, belt-fed machine guns for offense". Looking at the guns one can easily say that those are not 30mm guns. Such guns are mounted on anti-tank aircraft and measure few meters in length, plus of course have much wider barrels. the guns on the car are at best 30 caliber ones, which is 7.62mm.

Correction: 'Coach' could have meant 30 Cal, not 30mm, making it a character mistake. If the the script has it as 30mm then it's a factual error.

Corrected entry: It's established that whenever Machine Gun Joe kills another racer, he cuts his face in the "tick mark" style - four vertical marks followed by a horizontal one (as his scars show.) After killing Grimm "Reaper," he is shown making a horizontal mark, but the leaderboard in subsequent races shows his kill count as something that's not a multiple of five (and he didn't score any more kills in the meantime, remember).

Correction: It's established that every time Machine Gun Joe kills, he adds a mark, however, it doesn't state whether it's on the track or not. So it cannot be viewed as a mistake since he could have killed off the track.

Corrected entry: Ames, in his Frankenstein race suit, jumps out of the car at the end while Case continues driving. When Frankenstein is apprehended, Case is wearing Ames' race suit.

Correction: After Frank jumps out of the car it shows a second suit in the seat next to Case.

Revealing mistake: When the Dreadnought blows up the Buick Riviera, it's plain to see there is no engine or transmission in the car when it flips up and forward.

Coach: Tomorrow morning you'll meet your navigator Case. She'll help you navigate the course, reload your weapons, and help with the running of the car.
Jensen Ames: I'd love to talk to her ahead of time before the race.
Gunner: Yeah, I'd like a big-tittied girl to lick peanut butter off my toes, but it ain't gonna happen. This is still a prison, man. She's a chick. They get busted from the women's facility upstate.
Coach: It's all about ratings. Fast cars, pretty women...
Gunner: Machine Gun Joe's the only one that has male navigators, 'cause he's gay.
Lists: A-a-actually it's because he goes through them so fast, and a-a-audience gets squeamish.
Gunner: Yeah he goes through them... Through their ass.
Coach: He cuts each kill into his skin as a souvenir, I hear.

More quotes from Death Race

Question: I'm not sure about this, but didn't Grim's tires get blown out? If so, right after the next scene, where 14K hits Grim's car, the tires appear intact. It also looked new despite getting blown by a missile.

Chosen answer: Yes the tires do appear to be shot out so that would make it a mistake.
