Omega Cop

This a very low budget action flick that I recently bought at Wal-Mart for a dollar. I want my dollar back! Filmed in Stockton, California, for the price of two used Jeeps (there's one of them on the DVD cover!) and a whole lot of blank ammunition, the "plot" involves a cop saving damsels in distress and fighting off and with mutant thugs in a post-global warming apocalyptic landscape where half the population is dead and the most of the rest are in hiding, attempting to ride out the emergency.

The star is one of these "action film stars" that you've never heard of, similar to Don Mogavero; look up his deets. The guy in this movie, Ron Marchini has a number of martial arts movies to his credit, including "Death Machines" from 1976, which I already own, but Ron M. would have to go about ten rungs up the career ladder to be equivalent to Dolph Lundgren.

The only reason to buy this film is if you have a collection of post-apocalypse movies and just have to own every single one. Or you're an Adam West fanatic. (Yes, Adam West is second billed in this movie.) Otherwise, please pass this by. You're a glutton for punishment if you don't.

So yeah this is an ultra b martial arts rip off of Omega Man.

Yep that is pretty much all you need to know.

However all these rage reviews compel me to prove them wrong.

This is a low budget action movie martial arts sub genre with an average scifi back story.

As for implausible what the heck is going on it is close to the one were Denzel is blind and carrying the bible on ipod.

If you don't get how ridiculous that is feel free to let yourself out.

This movie has a few odd plot holes to keep action going.

And maybe the just forgot and kept rolling.. The fights are pretty good both gun and karate.

There is an unfinished human traf/ slave labor plot.

I think this was on one of the low end cable channels because it is unrated and well below R some blood mild language no nudity.

Now you know watch it if you like these cheap actioners .

Or go watch something completely different no need to complain about something doing its job.

An apocalyptic, low budget Texas Ranger seduces all the women he encounters with force and not letting them speak. He saves them from the evil gangs lurking around what looks like downtown Fitchburg, Massachusetts. Adam West's character is pulling the strings from what is supposed to be an underground bunker??? But it looks like gray painted cubicle walls. Omega cop, or Travis just wants peace and to swim again. He likes oldies music.

Marchini might be a decent karate guy, but he's about the least convincing action hero there is. Maybe its the goofy sweatshirt, the grey hair, the tucked in shirt, the hat, or the dead line delivery, or maybe it's just the fact that this is a low budget and bland movie, but you're not going to get much out of this one other than a few laughs at all the groin kicks. The female characters were lame and the villains were worse. But at least there were lots of groin kicks!

When I found this movie in the 2 dollar bin at my local video store, I wasn't prepared for what would happen. When I put it in, I had no idea that by the end of it, I would never be the same again...

Ron Marchini, possibly one of the finest actor's in our time, is sterling in his portrayal as John Travis, the toughest and last cop alive. Adam West does a good job as Ron's, "boss", Prescott. This movie left me with a deep respect for law enforcement, and made me really aware of the o- zone layer problem. I must've watched this movie at least 10 times now, and each time is greater than the one before it. I'll pick up a new line, or phrase that Ron throws around and it will be like the first time again. Ron is my new favorite actor, and I am looking to buy some of his other films.

I'd just like to say thank you Ron, in case you ever see this. I truly love you and your work, you are, simply put, a God.
