Interleaving script pages from The Warriors and Escape from New York has proved a cheap departure for Italian... read more on Time Out
Basically a rip off of Escape from New York and The Warriors with elements of The Village People thrown in for good measure. Has you can imagine from that blend this film isn?t to be taken seriously and this is more than apparent from the stupid plot (I won?t bother explaining it). If there was ever a film that qualifies for the label ?so bad its good? then it?s this one.
Highlights from this film include the roller skate gang (complete with knee pads), the Cabaret gang (I won?t spoil this magical moment for you), the 80s hair, the awful dialogue and the biker leader who walks like he?s just crapped himself. If you enjoy over-the-top performances and unintentionally hilarious comedy then this is a must.
For the sheer entertainment value then this film gets 5 stars, otherwise it?s worth probably at least two stars for the use of pre-development, derelict landscape and for the presence of blaxploitation legend Fred Williamson (Black Caesar).
This film is so crap its funny I also remember watching it when I was a kid and hence an excuse 4 a film of substance does not bode well!! Get batfink instead, at least your kids will enjoy it!!!
