"The Ultimate Ride For Survival"
In a post-apocalyptic future Lord Zirpola, the dictator of Helix City, forces nomads that he captures to take part in his favourite entertainment: The DeathSport - an arena where they must fight to their death on special motorcycles like Roman gladiators. A group of nomads led by Kaz (David Carradine) try to escape, but are hotly pursued by Lord Zirpola's soldiers. It's not quite Mad Max, but this futuristic no-brain thriller has its moments.
Also starring Richard Lynch, Claudia Jennings, William Smithers and David McLean
