El exterminador de la carretera

Everything you really want from this kind of film (minus nudity possibly). Alien is a hard headed but love-able warrior of the wasteland, who ends up joining a young cyborg in a quest for water to bring back to the boy's peaceful commune. The two are accompanied by Alien's (long time?) frienamie, the beautiful but rugged "Trash" and a lovable retired astronaut. The crew must face a roving car gang, who's leader uses the word "mudder" pretty frequently, as well as doomsday water cultists(?) and the unforgiving desert of the post apocalyptic future. The movie of course takes its cues from (read rips off) Mad Max as well as a few other Sci-Fi classics. There is plenty of possibly unintentional humor, corny action and entertaining 80s schlock. The dub falls out of place a little at times but its watchable all the way through.

In a world of TurboKid and Fury Road, its a little easier to get other people to watch these kind of fun trashy films. Getting them to stick around for most of it is another story. This title has great pacing for a film of its type and would make a great intro in to the genre for that friend who likes some of the Neo-Trash like Turbokid but maybe wouldn't make it through Battletruck or Bronx Warriors.

I was raised on movies like this when i was a kid, i have seen them all and i love Italian rip off.

Its low budget but i loved it same as 2019 after the fall of New York, The Road Warrior, Bronx Warrior, Escape from the Bronx, The new gladiators.

This one had a boy with a bionic arm pretty cool and a modified car.... a bit more then the other post apocalypse movies

In Water World, they have too much water and are looking for Dry Land. In this flick, there's too much dry land and not enough water. If there is such a thing called a Road Warrior genre, you would find this film in that section. The screenplay to this film was probably 20 pages long. Most of the film has truck and car chases with explosions and gun fights. A typical post nuclear holocaust sci-fi film with bad actors. this film could have used ten more years of development.

This flick is SUCH a "Road Warrior" RIP OFF right down to the car crashing thru' a mobile home camper! George Miller probably should have SUED these film makers,but by looking at the budget for this film...he probably wouldn't have gotten much. I'm not going to bash this film TOO much. For what it's worth,it IS kind of fun. But when the bad guy calls his gang "Mother Grabbers",it turns into comedy GOLD! If you want a no brainer low budget action flick...check it out.

In a post-apocalyptic future an outpost turn to a stranger to battle a motorcycle gang over a location where water, the most precious substance is located.

Directed by Giuliano Carmineo Exterminators of the Year 3000 (Il Giustiziere della Strada) is no doubt a Mad Max 2 copy-cat, but is was certainly not first or last. Released in 1983 the same year as a flurry of others including Escape from the Bronx, The New Barbarians, Endgame, 2019: After the Fall of New York to name a few. While it suffers from the usual co-Italian production issues of the 80s, clunky dialogue, lapse in logic, choppy editing, dubbing and sound design, what it does have is great practical stunts and car chases accompanied by a catchy notable (of the time) soundtrack from Detto Mariano. Also Alejandro Ulloa's cinematography captures some interesting subterranean, flatlands and rugged terrain locations. Carmineo camera work has a flair and roughness that gives this offering charm along with the low budget constraints that forces him to be dangerously inventive during the action setups.

The cast do there best with Dardano Sacchetti, Elisa Briganti and José Truchado's script. I've never heard any one say "mother-grabbers" before. Robert Iannucci makes for a good lead as Alien. Alicia Moro is notable as Trash. Actor Fernando Bilbao as Crazy Bull does his best Vernon Wells' Wez impression. Venantino Venantini's small role as John offers screen presence, with child actor Luca Venantini as Tommy (and his a little pet hamster) doing a good job.

Overall, in filmmaking they say 'never work with children and animals' - this has both. If you can swallow 1970s and 80's vehicles in a future set in year 3000 you're in for a good time.
