Stream Deathsport Movie Online.
Movie Title: Deathsport Deathsport is available for streaming or downloading. |
This DVD lacks all but the bare essentials as far as special features go. There’s a scene index, some trailers, mini-biographies, and the movie, and that’s it. The Roger Corman interview by film critic “Lenard” (sic) Maltin is listed on the case, but it is absent on the disk! Even the Corman data booklet is missing, although it too is listed on the case. I guess they just ran out of’em,
The movie itself has all the bare essentials–a bare Claudia Jennings (Playboy Playmate, Nov. `69) and a bare Valerie Rae Clark (Penthouse Pet, May `77.) Their nude scenes in Lord Zirpola’s torture chamber are about all that make this film worth its price. And Claudia Jennings alone would be worth it. Her career was cut short when she died in an auto accident in 1979, at age 29.
David McLean plays the evil Lord Zirpola, in what was evidently his last movie role. He’s best remembered by most as the unfortunate Marlboro Man, but I remember him for his short-lived 1960 TV series “Tate” in which he played a one-armed gunfighter!
David Carradine plays Kaz Oshay, a “Range Guide,” a wanderer in the wilderness, in what is basically the same role he’s played many times before and after, that of a rebel outcast fighting what little structured society there is left in a post-apocalyptic wasteland.
Richard Lynch is Zirpola’s henchman Ankar Moor, a Range Guide, once good, but now gone bad, who serves the oppressive, corrupt city-state of Helix. Sound familiar? Everything about this movie is familiar. Except the dialog, which is ludicrous, particularly the Range Guide mantra chant. And in the escape scene Carradine says to the others “We’ll fire together, one at a time!” Good trick!
The action scenes are mostly just long, confusing motorcycle chases through desert terrain, although the sword duel at the end is nicely done. The motorcycles are called “death machines.” They seem to cause the deaths only of their riders. The special effects–lots of explosions, red laser blasts, mutant makeup, etc.–are pretty good for a low budget film. I recommend this DVD to all hard-core Roger Corman fans!
Entertaining cheerful low budget crap, that is strangely less dated than the bile of sword & sorcery films that came in the next decade.
Looking at this film now it is basically an adult version of Battlestar Gallatica, with violence and female nudity
David Carradine sleepwalks through this and he is still superb.
However this not in the same league as the brilliant satire DeathRace 2000. Still it’s fun to see films like this, that would
not have a pray of being made in this day and age.
