Mutant War

I really wasn't expecting to like the movie, so throughout the time watching, i was pleasantly surprised. Loved the use of models and clay animation, gave the movie a quaint, second movie at the drive-in feel. An all around good vibe happening from this flick.

Part "Spacehunter," part "Bronx Warrior," and all low-budget-ridiculousness. I'm not going to defend "Mutant Hunter" as a good film, because it is not, but I did find myself quite enjoying it's cheesiness. This sequel to "Galaxy" finds out Han Solo-wannabe hero wandering a post apocalyptic earth destroyed by aliens, where he helps a young woman free her sister from an evil warlord, genre regular Cameron Mitchell. It's all quite dumb, but this sequel features more (badly done) special effects than its predecessor, which adds to its entertainment value, as well as more monster/alien make-up, loads of obvious matte shots, and a bunch of enjoyably silly looking miniature space ships. As with the first film, this sequel feels like a bunch of friends got together to make a movie they were all really excited about, and although they lack the scrappy talent of say Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell when they made the original "Evil Dead," writer/director Brett Piper and star Matt Mitler make up for their lack of talent with enthusiastic effort. Overall, this one is strictly for aficionados of bad 80s sci-fi.

MUTANT WAR is another of Director Bret Piper's sci-fi / monster epics. Set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, Harry Trent (Matt Mitler) tools around in his Road Warrior-mobile trying to stay alive.

Teaming up with a woman named Spider (Kristine Waterman), the two do battle with hordes of pig-ugly mutants, and attempt to free their female prisoners. Continuous action and mega-cheeeze ensue.

Fans of ultra-low budget films featuring stop-motion monsters, ham-headed mutants, and Cameron Mitchell will be ecstatic. Piper has made a niche for this sort of stuff, with very little money, but obvious heart...
