After The Force Awakens came out, I had been snatching up all sorts of Star Wars themed movies, from inspirations to downright rip-offs, it eventually branched off into other sci-fi, action and fantasy movies. Among those, one name continues to pop up is Roger Corman. He is notoriously well known for his blatant lifting of other popular franchises for his own movies (Star Wars, Alien just to name a couple).
This fine gem is certainly a diamond in the rough as far as "bad" movies goes. Having a few other multi-packs of Corman movies, I was surprised to find this. Both movies are pretty much post-apocalyptic/dystopian style movies the like of Mad Max. Battletruck (being post WWIII) fits that bill perfectly as all governments are gone and everyone is trying their best to survive in a wasteland.
The second is Deathsport, which (if you can believe it) is a sequel to Deathrace 2000, another Corman flick. This one features David Carradine in the lead roll with some martial arts and plenty of killer motorcycles.
Both movies are full of Corman "charm" with low budgets, cheesy effects, bad dialogue, and plenty of plot holes. You won't be disappointed.
