Deathsport (1978)


New World Pictures
Directed by Henry Suso and Allan Arkush
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Shout! Factory)

In a distant post-nuclear wasteland, desert survivors are rounded up by men on motorcycles and taken to a futuristic city where they battle to the death in a giant arena. David Carradine and Claudia Jennings are the latest victims, but they use their wits and fighting skills to escape. They are pursued by madman Richard Lynch and more men on motorcycles. Despite a few atmospheric scenes, and a synthesizer soundtrack featuring Jerry Garcia on guitar, this is really just an excuse for explosions, point-of-view motorcycle shots and Claudia naked.
