SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

This should have been a fun movie, but the directors took all of the fun out of it.It's just an action movie, and probably would've been better with horses, but motorcycles are somewhat more cinematic than other motor vehicles.Still, while it's people killing each other on motorcycles, it makes no sense. Very early, a bunch of guys kill off the gorgeous sexy girl (I guess they're gay, I don't know} and there's nothing for the guys to be interested in). Then there's a bunch of boredom after that. Like I said, nothing at all for the guys, and for women, only die hard biker babes could keep interested in this.So we have a movie that is supposed to be Action, which comes across as no fun for the male audience, and actually boring. I don't know if I'll put it on the ten worst movies ever list, because I think to make that kind of list, you have to have "great expectations", and there really isn't any great expectation for this.

This film has an abysmal 2.8 rating on IMDb, but I didn't think it was anywhere near that bad. In my opinion, a movie can only really be bad if it's boring, and this movie isn't that. It is cheap and poorly made, but it's moderately fun and you can laugh at it. So it's not any kind of horrid failure. It's kind of an unofficial follow-up to one of Roger Corman's more popular productions, Death Race 2000, in that it's about a motor sport created to distract the unwashed masses and stars David Carradine. It also takes place in the future. This future is post-apocalyptic, and David Carrdine, along with hottie Claudia Jennings, are warriors who live in the wastelands. They are captured by "civilization" (which includes crazy ruler David McLean and his minion Richard Lynch) and, along with a doctor who diagnosed McLean's sanity and his rebel son (William Smithers and Will Walker, respectively), they're forced to participate in deathsport, where they basically try to survive while menacing soldiers on deathcycles try to waste them. The titular deathsport really only lasts for a few minutes in the film, and then the rest of the movie has the four heroes escaping on the deathcycles while pursued by Lynch and his thugs. The movie ends with a hilarious duel between Carradine and Lynch, using "whistlers", which are clear plastic swords that whistle when you swing them.

A followup flick to Deathrace 2000,Deathsport is a wild thrilling ride.Very much underrated,and a cult classic for sure.You like deadly laser blasting dirt bikes?Futuristic noble knights of the apocalypse?Crystal sword fights?And a host of bad-guys dying ever few minutes?And an insane dictator with sadistic sexual tastes?If you find you like this movie or Deathrace 2000,check out Circle of Iron,another lost Carradine seventies classic that was scripted by Bruce Lee and stars Mr Carradine in four different roles.This ain't no academy award winning stuff,so don't expect a lot from a low budget sci fi opus.Just enjoy it for what it is,and tell all your friends.

I loved Death Race 2000 when I found out there was a sequel I bought the DVD and was very dissapointed with the film. I dont know why this film is called a sequel to DR 2000 as its nothing like it the only similarities are that it stars David Carradine and has the word Death in the title
