Arthur Bailey: [while racing for the finish line in last place which will blow the bombs in their heads. Grace tries to generate enough adrenaline through sex in a speeding car to short the bomb] Oh God, this is crazy!
Grace d'Argento: [Slink turns up the pulse on his control box causing both of them to tell out in pain] Not crazy enough.

Featured review
It was love at first sight with this delightful trash!
For a long time, I hesitated whether I would simply review the entire series altogether, or do every episode individually. Eventually I opted to write per episode, also because the creators of this wondrously insane grindhouse homage took the effort to design a vintage VHS-cover image for each and every episode! Take a minute to browse through all these "fake" covers, I urge you, since they will instantly catapult you back to the glorious 70s and 80s!
Sometimes it only takes a second to know you'll love a certain series! That's what I experienced with "Blood Drive", even though the concept of reviving the grindhouse era is far from innovative. The unknown (to me, at least) James Roland created something that promptly appeals to all fans of extreme horror, over-the-top dystopian SciFi and generally absurd cult-TV. In an alternate 1999, following a series of environmental disasters and economic crises, the United States are a wasteland. It's the ideal setting for a large-scaled and illegal cross-state car race, but there's one little problem. Gas prices have become unaffordable, so the "Blood Drive" only allows vehicles that run on human blood.
In this first episode, there's the logical scene-setting and introduction of the lead characters. Gorgeous beauty Grace d'Argento is a tough and stone-cold loner whose mind is solely set on winning the race, but she unwillingly gets linked to the old-fashioned cop Arthur, who'll do everything to prevent innocent people to die for the sake of "fuel". The self-acclaimed "master of ceremony" of the race is the eccentric and psychopathic Julian Slink. It's immediately and abundantly clear that "Blood Drive" purely goes for sheer entertainment, put into practice via gore, sex, political incorrectness and perversity. Being original clearly wasn't a priority for Roland and the SyFy channel. The idea of cars running on human blood already featured in the obscure 2007 b-movie "Blood Car" (Alex Orr), but I'm easily willing to believe that film wasn't a primary source of inspiration. The main influences obviously come from great milestones like "Escape from New York", "Mad Max", "Robocop" and "Death Race 2000". It may not be Award-winning material but I, for one, am impatiently looking forward to absorb the upcoming twelve blood-soaked and utterly demented episodes!
