    After a nuclear war society breaks down which of course it always does in these kinda movies into two groups of people the evil Euraks and the rebel federation who asks for the help of a mercenary named Parsifal to go into the heavely guarded New York to find and protect the last...( read more) fertiel woman on earth so that she might be able to save the future of mankind. This movie is good for all the wrong reasons Cheesy sets story just everything but in that good kinda way kinda alittle bit like Escape from New york and Mad Max combined

    The basic plot: one man sent to an apocalypse ravaged new york, seem to be similar to Escape from New York, but this film is quite different.
    The lead is no Snake Plisken, that's for sure, more like a Knight of the Round table if King Arthur's court was located in Xanadu. And h...( read more)e is sent with 2 buddies, and one I actually like more than him. The guy had a clamp/claw thing instead of a hand and was kinda sensitive.
    The minitures in this film are obvious but enjoyable cause they look cool, and although it is a B-movie the locations, where you see the actores, were quite amazing, so they must have had a bit of dough to play around with.
    Their mission also is pretty interesting as they are going to New York to retrieve the rumored last fertile women who resides there.
    What I loved about the film is the society that were represented in the destroyed New York, a large about of Action and violent + blood/gore that you would only expect from an Italian made exploitation flick.
    There is no nudity, but I didn't find that took much away from it. There's also one part where a woman gets the upper hand over a dominant male, and there's one that kicks ass, which is rare in this kind of film, as even elsewhere in the film they represent women as wet blankets.
    Another great aspect is that there are two car chase(ish) scenes, that were really quite great.
    If you're a fan of Post-Apocalypse flick, watch this and love it, if you didn't even like Mad Max, you won't like this one.

    What can you say.
    An early mix between Children of Men and Escape from New York.

    After the atomic wars has ruined most of the planet and left women sterile. Mankind lives like out-laws in a Mad Max kinda world.
    When the rumor starts to spread that there is a fertile woman hidden...( read more) somewhere in New York. Our hero sets out to find her.

    This movie has no merits at all. The sound-effects, special-effects, acting, dialouge, make up and everything else is really low quiality.

    Somehow though, this film made some sort of imprint on me.
    I even enjoyed the cheezy laser beem-guns.

    Most of you will hate it. But there are some of you who will appreciate all the charmy crap that this movie has to offer.

    Peace

    Fans of Italian post apocalyptic mayhem will love this one. Features George Eastman as Big Ape a hairy mutant hybrid. For more similar check out Joe D'Amato's Endgame and Enzo Castellari's golfcarttastic New Barbarians.

    This incidentally is one of only four films made by the exc...( read more)ellent Michael Blastfighter Sopkiw.

    This film is truly terrible! i love it! From the rubbish 80's music (sax player included), to the obviously fake sets, it's brilliant! I didn't think anyone could throw so many cliches into a film, but I was wrong...even the synopsis on the back of the DVD has typos! It's in a cl...( read more)ass of it's own.
