Racers

Machine Gun Joe Viterbo
- A former winner of past races (As well as outnumbering Frankenstein on points) Mobster Joe labels Frankenstein as "Public Enemy #1" for Death Race 2000. He's, once again, gunning for more points and looking to knock off Frankenstein by any means necessary. (Played by Sylvester Stallone)
Matilda the Hun
- Fiery, Nazi-queen who hopes to win the race--And the world soon after. Oh, and that giant cannon on her car may look a little scary, but Matilda would just rather gain her points by hood-spikes like everyone else. (Played by Roberta Collins)
Nero the Hero

Myra

Cleopatra
- This busty navigator might actually have more brains than her driver (Played by Leslie McRae)
