Deathsportarrives in a 1.85:1 AVC 1080p encodement on Blu-ray from 101 Films. The image is underwhelming overall, with a soft look and a lot of detail roll-off in the backgrounds. There is some visible source damage throughout and a thicket of coarse and sometimes noisy looking grain. That said the color reproduction, especially in the primary colo...
For whatever reason, this release comes with a lossy English Dolby Digital encodement of its original mono soundtrack. There is nothing spectacular about this track or the sound. The audio effects come across with a strong midrange and dialogue is intelligible, but one could not call this a top tier audio presentation given some issues with clippin...
Most of the supplements included are just the usual trailers and promos. The main attraction is the audio commentary with co-director Arkush and editor Bock offering up anecdotes in their very conversational commentary. 1.

With a film produced by Roger Corman you pretty much know what you are going to get, sometimes it works and sometimes it is just a miss. This film falls more on the miss side. Genre fans may still enjoy this and Corman completists will still like to get this.

Oct 14, 2022 · Deathsport was plagued by production problems and it shows. The action scenes feel rushed and repetitive, while the story itself hasn’t even begun to be fleshed out. Allan Arkush and Nicholas Niciphor both had a go at shooting it but it’s simply far too derivative and lacks even a mild focus.
