Spidersecu Don't Believe the Hype

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Sam Panico Director Giuliano Carnimeo is better known for his Western films with the Sartana character, as well as 1972's The Case of the Bloody Iris, a movie that I believe is at once a giallo and a satire of the genre.By 1983, everyone in Italy was directed post-apocalyptic films. This one is pretty much The Road Warrior with little difference. But hey! It has Pag (Luciano Pigozzi) from Yor, Hunter from the Future in it!It also has a bandana-wearing good guy named Alien (former model Robert Iannucci) who drives around in a car called The Exterminator! He ha an ex-girlfriend named Trash that helps him and a cyborg child named Tommy that he has to grudgingly protect.There's also a gang led by Crazy Bull that's after all the water - instead of Humungus being after all the gas. And there are some great stunts.But that's it. Far be it from me to demand that a spaghetti post-apoc flick has an actual plot or character arc, but it can be done. It doesn't get done here.

jmccork2 Yep, this is it. The worst movie I've seen, and I've seen some awful movies (like the entire Deathstalker series). Whereas other bad movies at least give you something to laugh at via bad acting or sorry effects, this movie has nothing even laugh worthy. be prepared to sit and stare through ever-heavier eyelids that lull you toward sleep as you watch the saga of some dude with a perm wearing a headband. I would recommend that marvel of cinematic storytelling, "The Screaming Skull" before I would subject an innocent soul to the boredom of this movie. Steer clear, unless you're a masochist, in which case you might fall asleep before enduring any pain.

HaemovoreRex Here's one of the numerous Mad Max inspired outings to spring forth from Italy in the early 1980's following the enormous success of that movie and more especially its sequel.Now at this point I have to be honest and state quite plainly that against seeming general public opinion, I absolutely loath the Mad Max trilogy (and there's a fourth entry on the way!) I found the latter two movies especially to be utterly interminable piles of crap.Why then, you might ask, would I view a Mad Max clone? Well the answer is quite simple – the Italian clones are so much more fun!An example of this is the film being reviewed here, which interestingly, though filmed back in 1983 and set in the 31st century, bears a stark warning spookily topical in today's world…..the depletion of the Ozone layer and subsequent global warming.In this nightmarish future, with the seas having dried up and the earth having become a parched desert, water has become an incredibly precious commodity.The story centres around one group of survivors search for a supposed water supply and that armed with a trusty map, they venture to send out a party to retrieve it.However, in this new world gangs of vicious bandits roam the wastelands pillaging and killing as they scavenge for water of their own and it is just one such gang that ambush and brutally murder the search party whilst on route.Only a small boy survives the slaughter (oh and his pet hamster!) to trek on alone.Fortuitously, as our young lad ambles on, he comes across the films hero; well I say hero, but in fact the character is a complete immoral sleazebag! Initially he cons the poor kid out half of his water before buggering off and leaving him! (and all this after the kid actually saved his life to!!!)Still, the lad needs help and in such a desperate situation apparently even a selfish git is better than nothing so he determines to follow the selfish oath.Help from this uncharitable soul is somewhat less than forthcoming however, that is until the boy relays to him that he has knowledge of where a water supply awaits them.Suddenly intrigued our hero opts to aid the lad, but his intentions are far from altruistic for his real aim is to covert all the water for himself and then to sell it to the highest bidder thus becoming rich in the process. But wait…..this is a bit of a plot inconsistency is it not? For we are clearly told that water itself is the most precious thing on the planet now…therefore, what the hell is our hero wanting in return for it? More water?! Money certainly has no value anymore. Perhaps dehydration caused delirium in the selfish swine.Anyway, back to the story…..Needless to say, perils are faced along the way in the form of the same gang that ambushed the initial party subsequently terrorising our protagonists and wouldn't you know it, the leader of the aforementioned gang has a personal grudge against our hero for stealing his beloved souped up car – what a coincidence eh?Throw in some more characters including the always fun to watch Luciano Pigozzi as an ex astronaut and mechanic, a few more plot contrivances such as that our young lad is revealed to possess a bio-mechanical arm and finally in the closing shots an occurrence that can only be described as amounting to a miracle (!!!) and you have a satisfying hour and a half or so of entertainment.This is a rare film nowadays but is well worth tracking down a copy if you can get hold of it.

Battledragon When I saw the Exterminators of year 3000 at first time, I had no expectations for that movie. Although, it wasn't so bad as I was thought. It's kind of Italian version of Roadwarrior, with cast, that is almost famous in Italy, including Venantino Venantini. Behind the story is Elisa Briganti and Dardano Sacchetti, who are also responsible for story of Zombie flesh-eaters. You can also see other links to Italian horror movies: Luca Venantini plays the role of Tommy, and you can see that kid in Paura nella citta dei morti viventi (City of the living dead AKA Gates of hell) as John Robbins and in Cannibal apocalypse as the role of Mary's brother. Quite entertaining movie, with some dull parts.
