Deathsport (1978) - (David Carradine) US Advance one-sheet



Pictured above are a US 27" x 41" advance one-sheet and an Italian 18" x 26.5" fotobusta for the 1978 Roger Corman film Deathsport based on a story by Frances Doel, screenplay by Nicholas Niciphor and starring David Carradine as Kaz Oshay. Both posters are by unknown designers. Plot summary: This film was the sequel to the 1975 Death Race 2000, but it did not do as well at the box office. In a scenario set in the distant future, a city state called Helix is planning war against Tritan, another city state. They intend to use a new weapon they call Death Machines, or laser-equipped dirt bikes. Deathsport is the new version of the death penalty in Helix. This game has replaced such events as the Olympics and the Superbowl; in it convicted criminals fight to the death for their freedom. Lord Zirpola of Helix [David McClean] captures the notorious desert ranger Kaz Oshay for a fight to the death in one of the Deathsport matches.
