Lord Zirpola captures the notorious "death ranger" Kaz ( David Carradine) to fight to the death in his game, Deathsport. One thousand years in the future, following the Great Neutron Wars, the world is divided into desert wastelands and isolated city states.
It is now on blu-ray in a limited run of 1000 copies. Carradine’s career might never have fully recovered from this flick, but you definitely will. With cheap lasers and evaporating flashlight-like weapons leading the way, Deathsport gives us a shirtless Carradine as Range Guide Kaz Oshay fighting off these cheap-ass Death Machines as he is thrust into Deathsport.ĭirected by an erratic Nicholas Niciphor who was then replaced by Allan Arkush and Corman himself, Deaths port remains an ambitious and cocaine-fueled continuation of what began in Death Race 2000.

The results - as Corman struggled to find a stable director for the flick - are less than perfect, but all of these behind the scenes struggles give this cheapo depot write-off, which features a coked-out Jennings stripped nude and then forced into a zone full of what appears electric zapping tape, an odd appeal to cult cinema fanatics as Ankar Moor ( Richard Lynch) and Lord Zirpola ( David McLean) do their best to force Carradine and Jennings into a mine-filled motorcross maze in a fight to the death
Deathsport, starring Carradine and Playboy Playmate (in her last role), takes what worked well with cars in Death Race 2000 and applies it to dirt bikes. This is the carnivorous territory of producer Roger Corman’s Deathsport, a cult film that has been newly minted on Blu-ray thanks to Scream Factory’s quiet campaign to get Corman’s films back into the public’s hands. Everyone - seized with fear by all the mutant cannibals left in the wastelands - depends on nomads known as Range Guides for their protection. With awful acting leading the way, Deathsport offers fans of B-grade flicks a tantalizing glimpse at an abysmal existence where only Statesmen use technology and doctors are sentenced to death. Stewart, the vile Great Neutron Wars have leveled everything, reducing society as we know to nothing but a rabid collection of barbaric city states who are constantly at war with each other and routinely put on games where criminals fight for their freedoms. The announcer should have warned viewers of all the cocaine glazed performances in this B-movie because, outside of the child who gets abducted early on, I don’t think there’s a sober performance to be seen.Īccording to the screenplay by Nicholas Niciphor and Donald E. And it’s full of bug-eyed mutants, weapons that evaporate enemies, scantily clad men and women, and one pissed off David Carradine, who vows to take care of his own. We were warned this was coming! Mutants in the hills and valleys! Everybody get off your horses and fight! Fight to the death! Fight! Fight! Fight!Īmong swirling cloud effects that fill the screen, a synthesized score from Andrew Stein, Gene Tyranny, and Jerry Garcia, and Roger Corman’s New World Pictures label, an announcer gives us the score of this brave new world. In which the sport of motorcross gets its murder on!
