Season 1, Episode 2: “Deathsport”
Deathsport presents the type of action and adventure you'd expect from the director of such thrilling films as Rock 'n' Roll High School and Caddyshack II. It stars David Carradine, whose bad movie oeuvre RiffTrax fans are well familiar with, as well as Richard Lynch, who MST3K fans may remember as the dopey guy "Noel" from Werewolf (pronounced VAIR-vilf). It's a film that has more one-hundred-foot-tall explosions than set pieces. People wave around awkwardly large, plexiglass swords. Roger Corman produced it. When asked to provide a one-line synopsis of this film, Kevin Murphy responded, "David Carradine in a furry loincloth."
