America 3000

America 3000 is quite possibly the pinnacle of achievement in the post-apocalyptic genre. Yeah, right.

But, it's a silly film from a silly genre, so we can't be judgemental now, can we?

I especially liked the writers/producers/whoever the hell dreamed up the lousy script's attempts at futuristic 'slang' with words like "Nagy" and "Cold/Hard" meaning strange things.

See this movie. You will laugh.

And be sure to respect the "Prez-ee-dent", kids.

While America 3000 MAY be one of the ALLTIME grade-Z movies, a great deal of comments made by the other person to review this film are wrong. First off, the hairstyles. Since the film takes place 900 years AFTER World War III, and in the radioactive wild of Colorado, how could anybody be "suffering from "bad '80's style haircuts?" Moron. The hair is typical of a bunch of people stuck in the wild, with the intelligence of a lower primate with no vanity. Just wild, unkenmpt hair. Specifically, mine. I played Young Korvis, (the good looking one.) The film is narrated by Mr. William Wallace, who plays my grown up sidekick, Gruss. It could have been worse. Chuck Wagner of TV's "AutoMan" (who's a GREAT guy, if you ever get a chance to meet him) could've narrated, which would have been a mistake. While he has physical presence, vocally, he may be lacking. And this is odd, considering the amount of stage he's done before and since this film. Compared to the last Mad Max film, this movie is downright inspirational, even if filmed on a 3 million dollar budget. The Director (David Englebach) went on to develop "Over the Top" with Sly Stallone. Yeah, I barfed too, but it wasn't half bad. Last comment (since this is hardly a review, but more of a defense of a terrible flick..) This movie never made it to MST3K....I checked. What am I doing now? I shoot music videos for up and coming rock bands. If you're in the Los Angeles Area Friday, march 5 2004, come to Johnny Foxx's, and see Flying Venus, the hottest group from Northern California destined to become the next big thing. That's what us grade Z actors are doing now. And the winner is.............

I recently watched America 3000 (1986) on Tubi. The storyline takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where women rule the land and men are either slaves or scavengers in the wasteland. One man rises with the goal of freeing his fellow men-either by confronting the women or finding a path to peace between the sexes.

The film is written and directed by David Engelbach, in his lone directorial effort, and stars Chuck Wagner (The Sisterhood), Laurene Landon (Airplane II), Victoria Barrett (Journey of Faith), and Karen Sheperd (Firestorm).

This is yet another '80s post-apocalyptic flick trying to cash in on the success of Mad Max. The settings, props, and costumes are all pretty fun, and I always appreciate the creative vehicles these films come up with. The women are stunning, and there's even a random Bigfoot running around for good measure. The narration is clunky, but oddly entertaining. Unfortunately, after a solid setup, the climactic battle is a major letdown-awkwardly staged and lacking impact.

In conclusion, America 3000 is a below-average post-apocalyptic entry that might hold some value for fans of '80s grindhouse oddities. I'd give it a 4.5/10.

This movie really is dumb and silly but i still enyojed it. The story about the women taking over the power after the third world war is rather awful. The names on all the charachters are really laughable. For example Korvis. Korvis in my language (swedish) mean that a person looks like a sausage. Korvis is not like a ordinary american name too I guess. One strange is that all women in the movie looks like models except for one old woman. At the end of the movie their are a great battle between the frollos (women) and the plugarts (men). You see both a lot of women and men die and beaten up. From the beginning there was ecually many women as men but in the end it remains five men but around 20-30 women, strange. I gave the movie a 5 out of 10 because it's really dumb and silly but at the same time really good because of its cheesyiness. If you like silly movie go rent this one - we did.

I was in this movie. Can't say this one is an intellectual challenge, but it was fun to do. It's a bit silly, with bad acting, but those girls go! I think this movie must have been a tax shelter for a relative of the producers.

It is fun, on several levels, and speaks to the excesses of the 80's.
