David Carradine romps around in a loin-cloth as Kaz Oshay, a good-guy biker who hops on his destructocycle to participate in a sport to the death, in Roger Corman's futuristic gladiator motorcycle film. The film takes place 1000 years after the "Neutron Wars" have decimated civilization, except for pockets of domed cities. Surrounding the cities are vast wastelands called "ranges." Kaz is a "ranger guide" who roams the range riding horses and wielding sabers. The sabers are necessary to fend off the "Statesmen" -- roving hordes under the thrall of Lord Zirpola (David McLean). Zirpola captures Kaz and throws him into a cell, where he meets Deneer (Claudia Jennings), who tells Kaz that a group of mutants have abducted her daughter. Kaz and Deneer escape and set off in search of her daughter as they dodge the Statesmen and their high-decibel motorcycles called "Death Machines." Kaz is finally forced to participate in the "Death Sport" -- a mad free-for-all inside a tunnel in which only one contestant can emerge alive. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

    David Carradine deserved the whipping he received in this movie. Cheezy, poorly done 80s Sci-Fi/Adventure at it's best (worst).

    This movie is soooooooo bad that it is actually fun. I mean, the script, the costumes, the aesthetic, the "special effects"... My God they're all awful! You can't keep laughing from the beggining! And the budget? How much did they spend? 20 dollars? Well, let's say 20 more for the explosions and the bikes fuel... As I said, it's fun... the problem is it lasts 82 minutes... and by the tenth you might be tired of laughing... One more thing. The credits say Jerry Garcia played the guitars on the soundtrack... but I couldn't hear anything but a cheap synthetizer from beggining to end.

    .... I used to think "Deadly Species" was the worst movie I have ever seen. I was wrong. Don't get me wrong though, Deadly Species is horrible, but this is worse. Deadly Species doesn't have any actor you know or will ever know, so the expectations of quality are automatically low. But you've heard of David Carradine. You've heard of Richard Lynch. It's equally as bad as Deadly Species, and since it has people who make a living as actors, I think that qualifies it as being worse!
