This week we have a heavy dose of '80s nostalgia wrapped up in a post-apocalyptic bow. This film definitely managed to get a bigger budget than it probably was worthy of at the time, but they seemed to spend it in the wrong places. Have a few drinks ready and have a chug every time you hear some hot metal licks........
AMERICA 3000 (1986)
It is 900 years after a devastating nuclear war and a new, tribal society has risen out of the ashes of civilization. Primitive and violent, the women dominate while men have become "seeder" slaves or playthings.
At the site of an ancient war bunker, a rebel stumbles upon an arsenal of 21st century weapons and puts together a small army of renegade males. Now they have a chance to overthrow the beautiful warrior queen of the Thunder Women when the male grenade-hurling foot soldiers collide with her cavalry of female martial arts experts.
This ridiculous post-apocalyptic flick had a fair sized budget and was written and directed by David Englebach who wrote Death Wish 2 and Over the Top. Be on the look out for "Aargh the Awful", a shaggy small-scale bigfoot mutant that loves to hear the '80s rock blast out of a 900 year old boom box.
