JinRoz For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!
Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Chase_Witherspoon Despite the 'wasteland' tag, there's dozens of people alive and apparently well travelling in self sufficient tribes, minding their own business until George Eastman and Enio Girolami (aka Thomas Moore) turn up in their rocket-propelled dune buggies to rid the earth of man's seed as payback for the apocalypse. Spurned former bad guy Timothy Brent travels the wilderness in search of wrong-doing, preserving what he can of the former world, supported by the self-proclaimed invincible warrior Fred Williamson (comically named "Nadir" in spite of his alleged prowess). Predictably, Eastman and Brent don't get along too well, and their eventual stand-off is widely anticipated.Brent is bland and serious, whereas Williamson at least affects some emotion in his unusual role of the black archer whose explosive-tipped arrows ensure he never misses even when he misses. Former Miss Italy, Sicilian beauty Kanakis has a nude silhouette moment, but otherwise the "R" rating is for mannequins being blown apart or clumsily decapitated by whirring rotary blades and other contraptions of the ilk. Czech beauty Zora Kerova ("Woman from Deep River", "The New York Ripper") has a very minor role early in the film for those who know where to look.Plenty of light heartedness and humour, particularly Frezza as the pre-pubescent child mechanic-inventor who's an ace with the shanghai and just as sharp with the tongue. Some cool cinematographic angles, sound effects and editing make it an audio-visual experience, but the stunt-work lacks precision and overall the production looks cheap and rushed. Fun, mildly entertaining with colourful characters and campy special effects (watch the decapitation dummy crumple in a heap), but it's mostly repetitive and predictable sci-fi fodder.
kurciasbezdalas I won't deny that this movie has a lot of pointless and stupid dialogs and many other things in this movie make no sense. And also that this movie (just like many other post-apocalyptic movies) is a Mad Max imitation. But that is what I was expecting from this movie. There were some good action sequences, colorful characters and vehicles. The only thing which this post-apocalyptic movie lacks is freaks, though the characters of this movie acted freaky sometimes, but there could be more freakishness, like in Mad Max, where it looked more effective too. There also was some chopped-off limbs and exploding human bodies (some of those scenes were pretty impressive). So it's pretty entertaining post-apocalyptic movie.
wes-connors "In a post-apocalyptic future, a group of weary survivors is faced with a relentless onslaught from a gang of roving bandits. Into this conflict comes two men, rivals by nature, but forced to take the same side against a common foe. The survival of the human race may very well come down to the outcome of this battle!" according to the DVD sleeve's synopsis.In the year 2019, Giancarlo Prete (as Skorpion) battles George Eastman (as One), with a little help from friends Fred Williamson (as Nadir) and Ennio Girolami (as Shadow). Apparently, the "survival of the human race" is at stake because Mr. Stevens and his homosexual gang are killing all the women left on Earth. So, with technology nuked back hundreds of years, where will they get new men to join the gang? Enzo G. Castellari "I nuovi barbari" ("The New Barbarians" in English) features funny hair-dos, souped up golf carts and a poor imitation of the Batmobile. The scenes of mindless violence are, appropriately, highlighted by decapitations. There is a difficult to discern "huh? what is happening there" gay rape scene. This film might have worked if they just made an all-out "Mad Max" parody, with Mel Brooks directing.Too dumb to be offensive, but a noisy waste of resources. * I nuovi barbari (1982) Enzo G. Castellari ~ Giancarlo Prete, Fred Williamson, George Eastman
kap21 This is very stupid. Mad max rip off but in this movie the hero don't have any guts beside trying to. He actually don't fight anyone cause he have a guardian angel. Still the bad guys fears him for some reason. The most funny is when he shows his war-armor in clear plastic .. *G* The little boy is bad ... but have more guts then the hero The cars (bad guys) are very silly so are their uniforms ... very funny when they capture the hero and the bad gang leader want to take him in the ass .. *G* It's so bad but funny ... the acting is very very bad.I liked post apocalyptic (like "she") but this is bad and only if you want to laugh it's worth to see.
