Lucio Fulci entered the '80s Italian Sci-Fi arena armed with full-throttle visuals, hard chrome nihilism and mad blasts of il maestro's signature grisly mayhem In a future dominated by ultra-violent TV entertainment, the top-rated global sport Kill-Bike drafts two condemned gladiators - Jared Martin of DALLAS and Fred Williamson of THE INGLORIOUS BASTARDS - for a 'Battle Of The Damned' in the Roman Coliseum.
