Warlords of the 21st Century 1982 AKA: Braindead
Director: Peter Jackson
Starring: Michael Beck, Annie McEnroe, James Wainwright, Bruno Lawrence, John Bach, Randy Powell, John Ratzenberger
In the post
apocalyptic world of the 21st century, gasoline products are at a severe
shortage. We know this for sure as we see an old sign hanging outside
an abandoned gas station that was selling gas for the outrageous price
of $59.99 per litre. That's about a quarter gallon for our American
friends.
A rag tag para military unit has this nifty armored transport
truck that they use to smash through gates and houses etc. They are
on an eternal search for gasoline and they ain't in the mood
to barter for it. They'd just as soon rip your mush off as look at you.
Unfortunately for them, they run into a guy on a dirtbike who
decides he'll take on the whole bloody bunch of them single handed.
Okay, so it's a direct rip-off of the Mad Max flicks
which makes it pretty predictable, but it's
loaded with action from start to finish. There's enough destruction
and explosions to keep just about evrybody happy.
Check it out.
