Deathrow Gameshow is a very bad, and silly movie about a gameshow, obviously, except on this show, deathrow inmates are given the chance to get a stay of execution, by playing the games. Although the games are rigged and no one can ever win, the movie overall is terrible, but the actors are not so horrid it's not watchable, and there is plenty of sex and violence for any B-movie fan. It's a movie that could use a remake, but even so, it'd be tough to make bearable without adding more plot to the punch.
