AUGUST 24 VHS MOVIE REVIEW : MORTAL CHALLENGE
From badmovies.org

At some point in the future, Los Angeles finally becomes a caricature of itself. The rich elite live on a private island, protected from the commoners by a private police force. When the daughter of a wealthy family goes missing, they hire a mainland private detective (Timothy Bottoms) to find the missing girl.

It just so happens that a group of elite are running their own version of Rome's Colosseum. People are captured in the slums and dumped into a maze where they are hunted by a cyborg. Just avoiding the augmented gladiator is not enough, because a number of remote control trapdoors are hidden throughout the tunnels. Falling down one of the vertical shafts deposits the contestant into a room where they are forced to fight a deathmatch against a muscled fighter who obviously has too much caffeine in his diet. The detective, the girl he is looking for, and a few others find themselves involuntary contestants in this game of death.

All of this is done for the benefit of a few wealthy schmucks who are bored with "normal" entertainment. Most of them are supposed to be spoiled twenty-somethings, including the star of Flesh Gordon 2 (and he plays a useless human flesh wart with such self-assurance that I couldn't wait for the protagonists to escape from the arena and kill him). Before the cyborg or Mr. "I tried to perm my hair after drinking four liters of Mountain Dew" dispatch a defeated player, the rich spectators vote with their thumbs. A thumbs up majority means the player is set free to get killed later; thumbs down is immediate cause for impalement (the cyborg has a retractable blade) or neck snapping.

Now, I am worried that I might have made "Mortal Challenge" sound like a film you might want to see. It is a lot like "The Running Man," though it lacks the daily recommended allowance of Arnold Schwarzenegger (Maria Shriver is known to regularly exceed this), and I could care less if any of the contestants survived. One contestant, Hawk, kept doing outright wicked things because he "wanted to live." He also kept reciting worthless wisdom that his old man had spouted from the bottom of an alcoholic pit. It was no small blessing when the script eliminated him from the game.
