Warriors of the Year 2072

“Champions of Death”

Drake (Jared Martin) is the reigning champion of a televised death game in the year 2072, and all he wants is to keep winning and stay alive. Then a rival network frames him for murder and puts him on the other side, a gladiator fighting convicted killers on motorcycles, with Abdul (Fred Williamson) among the men in the arena. Lucio Fulci films it as a cheap, loud, neon-lit scramble, more interested in the next crash than in the explanation.
