Grindhouse Double Shock Show: (Warriors of the Wasteland / Cosmos: War of the Planets)

As far as post apocalyptic road warrior type spin offs go, this is one of the better ones. The film probably spent half it's budget on making cars explode. The movie was predictable but fun. The male on male rape seen was a bit jarring, but generally, the film was formulaic. There were many car action fight sequences which were enjoyable. George Eastman acting as the main villain was a highlight, as he brought a lot of personality to his role, as he also did in Hands of Steel. Giancarlo Prete on the other hand was a bland, uninspiring, unimaginative anti-hero who added nothing to the film, as he also did in Escape from the Bronx. This film is a worthy edition to the dystopian low budget sci fi filmography. Worth a watch -

A bit corny, BUT I knew this going in. So it follows that old genre of "wasteland" however lots of the props and cars have a brand new look and feel to them. A dusting of dirt or sand to take a lot of the shine off would have help sell this. Annoying fake electric whine on the motors when they were clearly internal combustion engines with exhaust. Same with the "laser" guns shooting cartridge ammunition. All this was trying to upsell the future aspect.Not sure if it was just me or on certain cameras and scenes but it look as if the aspect ratio was off and faces and items were narrow as if they were shot in wide angle and then forced into the 4:3 aspect ratio. It could also be the PAL to NTSC conversion as well.

These movies are terrible, but if you are into bad films for a laugh you might enjoy these. As for Warriors Of the Wasteland, it appears about 5 minutes were edited out, but for a movie this unbelievably bad who cares. I have an old Beta copy of Warriors of the Wastelands (that's in tape for VCR playback) that I picked on sale on the cheap (about 5 dollars) about 20 years ago that still has the retail price sticker on it - believe or not, it sold originally for $69.95 in 1985. Cosmos: War of the Planets an even worse film. Enjoy!

A ham-handed blend of Road Warrior and spaghetti western, where the hero struggles to come to grips with his bisexuality. Exploding bad guys, horribly constructed post apocalyptic vehicles, ubiquitous phallic symbolism and sexual subtext between Scorpion and his gold armored, '70's mustached sidekick abound. After seeing the hero butt raped by bad guys with ridiculous shoulder pads, and many mind numbing,low speed car chases, we are left to wonder what exactly we have just watched, and whether or not the final lines of the film should lead us to believe the hero is a member of N.A.M.B.L.A.

A Phantom Menace style Anakin Skywalker proves the deadly difference in this religious revenge thriller. It's 2019, the New Jerusalem Bible is out, shoulder pads and front poofs are in.Scorpion, our hero, takes One for the team.The second act twist almost came from behind. Definitely passes the Bechdel test.Thanks Obama...

I TRIED to watch this movie, I truly did. It's supposed to be A.D. 2019, (The year it is NOW), and O M G, this movie is so tacky and awful, I couldn't even get through the first 10 minutes of it!! Talk about cheesy, and tacky! Don't waste your time. I'm a HUGE post-apoc fan, especially when it comes to nuclear war, but this, THIS IS AN ABOMINATION!

For a low budget post apocalyptic film it was one of the best, and a good story, and twisted bad gays. And no it duse not hold a candle to mad max, but good fun.

Weak and silly. Did have a story line.

Ich beziehe mich nur auf die DVD von Cheezy mit orangen Cover. Grottenschlechtes Bild, verrauschter Ton. Jedes VHS-Tape wäre besser. Das ist möglicherweise ein Bootleg, also Vorsicht.
