• Paul W.S. Anderson and Jason Statham conducted some of their research at Corcoran Prison, the toughest correctional institution in California.
• Originally written as a sequel to Death Race 2000 titled Death Race 3000, a race around the world with futuristic hovering, invisible and transformer cars, but had to be rewritten due to production costs.
• Movie Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): In the 3rd round, the announcer describes the contest as "mano y mano". That means "hand and hand". It's an all-too-common mistake, thinking that the real expression (mano a mano) means "man against man"; it doesn't. It means "hand to hand" combat.
• Movie Goof (continuity error): In the "Stage 2" race when the Dreadnought hits towards the death trap the guards are falling all over the road, but in the next take when the truck hits the ground all of them have disappeared.
