Featured review

5/10

confusing post-apocalyptic italo-spectacle!

This was not as bad I expected...

The first half of this film is very boring and it is suitable to use the fast forwarding on your remote, because the last half is so much better. You can see easily that the budget for this film has been very low, but the action scenes actually work rather well. The post-WW3 vehicles are creatively constructed from existing cars and motorbikes. The car with no doors is my favorite. I wonder where they get all the gas and spare parts for those things in a destroyed world?

The acting isn't so bad. The telepath girl looks good and carries her role very well. The only scene of her I laughed out loud was that where a telepath makes a big stone floating up. You can easily spot the wire holding the styrofoam-stone in the air, it's just so goofy.

I gave this 5/10.

Trivia
Of all his movies, director Joe D'Amato has stated that he likes this one best.

Goofs
Lilith repeatedly demonstrates the ability to communicate telepathically with Ron Shannon. It's also repeatedly made clear that she and the other mutants are supposed to hide the fact that they are telepathic from the other members of Shannon's team. So why does she risk blowing her cover by leaping from the back of the van to warn Shannon of a trap? Shouldn't she be able to give him the warning telepathically?

Quotes
Blue Mutant: Look at me while I rape you dammit!
Ron Shannon: [telepathically] I'm getting pink and blue flashes. Lilith, are you alright? Lilith, answer me.
Lilith: [telepathically] Yes, Shannon, I'm fine!
Blue Mutant: You really know how to turn a guy on!

Alternate versions
The UK Stablecane video was cut by 41 secs by the BBFC to edit a rape scene and to remove some violence including a neck break and a man being axed in the head.
