    • Trivia
      A follow-up of sorts to the film Death Race 2000 (1975), this film's failure at the box office scrapped all of the plans for a second follow-up film that would have been titled "Deathworld".
    • Goofs
      When a Destructocycle drives off a cliff, the cable it is attached to is clearly visible.
    • Quotes

      Kaz Oshay: Like sand in the wind, keep moving.

    • Alternate versions
      The print used for Shout Factory's 2011 DVD was a composite version consisting of an interpostive created for TV showings, missing all the violence and nudity, so a splicy 35mm theatrical print containing all of said material had to be reinstated into the print filling in the missing footage.
    • Connections
      Edited into Saturday the 14th Strikes Back (1988)

    a rare gem in the crown of deadly movies

    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.
