When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

In a post-apocalyptic LA, several teenagers become missing. A cop must save her, finding out there is much more in store for him. The cop, along with friends he's made along the way, finds himself trapped in the DeathDrome - an old plant devoted to a death trap where the only way out is battling to the death against two humanoids.It's a fun-filled cyberpunk fight film with decent action for a B film and completely ahead of its time (the fights are filmed to an audience and are a lot like the "reality" genre of today, but in film format). The partial nudity and sex scene add erotica New Horizons was known for in the day. The makeup is often a little gimmicky but the lighting and camera quality make up for it. The film is setup as a futuristic gladiator game with reminisce of the ancient Romans (vixens, the elite, and the thumbs-up and thumbs-down gesture to signal life or death. Overall, I recommend this film as it adds uniqueness to the fight genre with its mix of sci-fi elements.Its relation to Mortal Kombat:This film pays homage to Mortal Kombat in these ways:The DeathDrome is located in the outskirts of LA, like Outworld. - The tournament master is an elderly man. - The tournament master uses the term, "mortal combat." - Centaurians are the name given to the "police" of this outworld. - The cop is a spin-off of Jax. - Hawk, the thug, is a spin-off of Kano. - The vixens beauty is reminiscence of the MK babes. - The people in the Deathdrome are trapped, especially the humanoids, and are forced to fight their way to freedom. - The music is techno and this film even has its own theme song, which is cheesy like the Power Rangers and VR Troopers themes.

Whether it was 'The Great Escape', 'The Man From Uncle', or 'The Outer Limits', David McCallum has always been a classy performer and his effort on this low-budget film is no exception. I enjoyed his arrogant performance here; Timothy Bottoms also manages to work out his acting chops with some impressive fight scenes; I also enjoyed listening to the theme-song at the end of the film, which has some interesting things to say ...

Utter piece of trash. Not even funny or amusing. An unwatchable pic from the hollow side of the Roger Corman factory. Dark, murky, straight-to-cable filler with no script at all. With the following items: migraine inducing visuals, second grade acting, boring stunts, and idiotic sub-"Escape From New York" storyline. KA-Boom!
