dmdb I only write reviews of movies with low rating, which actually are not that bad. Give them a chance!Yes, they tried to make another Mad Max and yes, they failed. But, the movie is still watchable and good in some parts. Vehicles are SO BAD that they actually look like the apocalypse happened! Nothing can be perfect when you have nothing! So I find this great! :) Acting is OK, Fred is great choice. Fighting scenes are bad, but if we look at the budget... Don't expect much and you will watch it to the end, especially if you like post-apocalyptic movies as I do.5.5/10
Adam Peters (42%) Hanging on the back of the majesty of Mad Max came this cheap Italian knock-off that makes a lame attempt to link itself to the two Bronx warriors movies that in themselves ripped-off such current classics as The warriors, and Escape from New York. Director Enzo G. Castellari shot this almost entirely in a mine located rather convenient fifteen minutes drive outside of his home town of Rome, so at least he didn't go above and beyond to make this; not that anyone would accuse him of such a thing. In terms of plot this is one of the thinnest movies ever which revolves around the good guys against the bad, but unlike Mad Max 2 they're not fighting for control over a few thousand gallons of fuel, there're instead fighting over nothing really at all. Castellari does know how to shoot, but his writing is awful, while some of the acting here is among the very worst ever. On a plus side this is entertaining enough to sit through with plenty of daft over the top action with lots of people (clearly dummies) getting their heads cut off, blown up, run over, or burnt. The costumes are also brilliantly camp and silly, with good old Fred Williamson having a great time with his explosive arrows. Fans of the largely unrelated movies in the series should find something to enjoy here as it is good cheesy B-movie fun, but it's absolutely nothing more.
trash1990 "Warriors" is an energetic, entertaining B movie with crazy action, costumes, pacing, gang mentality, and machines. It's 2019, and a nuclear fallout has made life rough for the remaining human population. The Templars, a roaming gang of homosexual lunatics on dune buggies equipped with saws and drills, drive around and kill everyone they run into. Their "mission" is to kill everyone, thus cleansing the earth (seems reasonable). Enter Skorpion and Nadir, two typical post apocalypse loner warrior types that just want to be left alone, Bob, the foul mouthed eleven year old mechanic, some innocent civilians for the Templars to torment, and BAM!, 90 minutes of craziness. At one point Skorpion is captured by the Templars, and is "initiated" by being anally raped in front of them (!) Eventually vengeance is dished out AKA standard action film style. This film has some priceless dialog. The Templar leaders rousing speeches to his gang about the scum of humanity are just hilarious.
TheCrowing13 At first glance this film looks like a direct rip-off to "Mad Max", well it is but it has potential. It's a straight up action film not meant to be thought about, just accept the unacceptable. There is no depth at all with the story I feel very lost in how this new post-apocalyptic world came to be.Like any other action flick one guy or a small group off them attempt to take out an army of foes after a huge tie/losing street before the climax,just like this movie. The weapons and gadgets of the film are interesting and creative a bit ridiculous but it's whatever. I just wish they spent more time explaining the characters background and what the details of this new Earth after a nuclear holocaust. Again I will say nothing is given we don't even know when it happened. All we know is now and here. None of the laser guns or bulbed cars or exploding arrows are looked at in detail.The real treat of the film though is the action most of the scenes look phony, but are oh-so-entertaining to watch. From faces being burned of, to people being run over, to exploding heads, and decapitation the movie keeps it's variety trying to keep each explosion or shot fired interesting and new. Of course this is failed by over use of the exploding arrows.I'm a musician so music in film is very very important to me. I read about the score for this film being new and interesting, but it's anything but. The electronica and drum beats are repeated so often I thought the DVD was skipping. But if your just looking for an action flick, and willing to put aside story, acting, and other key elements, I suggest this to anyone. 4/10
