David Carradine is the quiet good guy and the best thing that can be said about his acting and his part is that he doesn’t say much. Claudia Jennings is his partner good guy, the one who gets to amuse the bad guy in the dark room. The best thing that can be said about her performance is that she gets to take off her clothes, twice.

Perhaps a slightly more engaging, focused narrative would have saved the film. As it stands, we're treated to 82 minutes of confused storytelling that spends the entire first half torturing our two principal leads in the most bizarre ways imaginable. Perhaps Corman fans should skip the first half of the film and simply watch the actual "Deathsport" sequences instead. The film will likely play much better as a 40-minute short.
