ITEM 1.     SECURITY AND ISSUER.
            -------------------

            This statement on Schedule 13D filed by Metromedia International
            Group, Inc. (formerly known as The Actava Group Inc.) ("MIG") on
            December 15, 1994 (the "Statement"), as amended by Amendment No. 1
            filed on March 1, 1996, relating to the common stock, par value $.01
            per share (the "RDM Common Stock"), of RDM Sports Group, Inc.
            (formerly known as Roadmaster Industries, Inc.), a Delaware
            corporation ("RDM"), is hereby further amended as set forth below.
            Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used herein shall
            have the same meaning as set forth on the Statement.


ITEM 3.     SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.
            -------------------------------------------------

            Item 3 is hereby amended by adding to the end thereof the following
            paragraph:

            On June 20, 1997, RDM entered into a new $100 million revolving
            credit facility (the "RDM Credit Facility") with a syndicate of
            lenders (the "Lenders") and used a portion of the proceeds of such
            facility to refinance all of its existing credit facility. In order
            to induce the Lenders to extend the entire amount of the RDM Credit
            Facility to RDM, Metromedia Company ("Metromedia") provided the
            Lenders with a $15 million standby letter of credit that may be
            drawn by the Lenders if (i) RDM defaults in any payment of principal
            or interest or any other covenant or agreement in the RDM Credit
            Facility, subject, in each case, to customary grace periods, or (ii)
            the bankruptcy or insolvency of RDM. In consideration for the
            provision of the $15 million letter of credit, RDM issued to
            Metromedia 10-year warrants to acquire 3,000,000 shares of RDM
            Common Stock exercisable from and after September 20, 1997 at an
            exercise price of $.50 per share (the "RDM Warrants"). In accordance
            with the terms of the agreement entered into in connection with the
            RDM Credit Facility, Metromedia offered MIG the opportunity to
            substitute its letter of credit for Metromedia's letter of credit
            and to receive the RDM Warrants without payment of any additional
            consideration. On July 10, 1997, MIG's Board of Directors elected to
            substitute its letter of credit for Metromedia's letter of credit
            and the RDM Warrants were assigned to MIG.


ITEM 6.     CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH 
            -------------------------------------------------------------
            RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
            -----------------------------------

            Item 6 is hereby amended by adding to the end thereof the following
            paragraph:

            (c) Letter of Credit. On June 20, 1997, RDM entered into the RDM
            Credit Facility with the Lenders and used a portion of the proceeds
            of such facility to refinance all of its existing credit facility.
            In order to induce the Lenders to extend the entire amount of the
            RDM Credit Facility to RDM, Metromedia provided the Lenders with a
            $15 million standby letter of credit


                                   Page 3 of 5

            that may be drawn by the Lenders if (i) RDM defaults in any payment
            of principal or interest or any other covenant or agreement in the
            RDM Credit Facility, subject, in each case, to customary grace
            periods, or (ii) the bankruptcy or insolvency of RDM. In
            consideration for the provision of the $15 million letter of credit,
            RDM issued to Metromedia the RDM Warrants. In accordance with the
            terms of the agreement entered into in connection with the RDM
            Credit Facility, Metromedia offered MIG the opportunity to
            substitute its letter of credit for Metromedia's letter of credit
            and to receive the RDM Warrants without the payment of any
            additional consideration. On July 10, 1997, MIG's Board of Directors
            elected to substitute its letter of credit for Metromedia's letter
            of credit and the RDM Warrants were assigned to MIG.
