On January 13, 2009, Nick Cowen and Hari Patience took a look at “Death Race 2000” for the Telegraph.uk.com. The review was positive and gave special praise to Sly’s work in the film.
…top marks go to Sylvester Stallone who shows genuine comedy chops in his portrayal of Machine Gun Joe.
…Stallone is really the best thing about this film.
…Surprisingly enough, Sylvester Stallone, whose knowingly over-the-top performance as Machine Gun Joe is pure comedy gold.
…In Stallone’s hands, every single line of dialogue is laugh-out-loud hilarious.
