Mystery Science Theater 3000: The RiffTrax Experiments — Deathsport (2026)
In the aftermath of the Neutron Wars, the planet is rendered a bitter wasteland. Mutants roam the countryside. Travelers fear for their lives. Lucrative olive loaf sponsorships are no more. Fortunately, not all heroes were tied up. One man has hung around: David Carradine. Of course, he shows up wearing the loiniest of loincloths, so opinions may differ whether that’s a good thing or not. David and his loincloth get abducted by the sinister Lord Zirpola and forced to compete in Deathsport. The rules are, from what we can tell: Everyone has to wear a stupid helmet. It’s understandably the most popular sport on the planet. Can Mike, Servo, and Crow pull off the stupid helmet look? Or will the Corman cheese give them their own case of brain decay? Grab a seat next to them in the theater and find out in Deathsport!
