The New Barbarians

It's the year 2019, and the world's population has been devastated by a nuclear war. Gangs of human predators travel the haunted landscape dotted with the fragile remnants of a faded civilization. Two mercenaries help a band of wanderers fight off the evil hordes of white-clad bikers, and the survivors' only hope is to reach a distant land from which radio signals indicate the presence of human life. Italian director Enzo G. Castellari mastered the genre of post-apocalyptic movies, and THE NEW BARBARIANS captures the fantastical elements of living in their MAD MAX-like nuclear wastelands.

    I liked it... naah, honest!

    Admittedly not for the first 3/4's, and the last 1/4 had some really dire bits in. Despite this I was grinning for days afterwards recalling some pseudo Mad Max stunt at 20mph! The gadgets are truly worthy of James Bond's Q, if he had Parkinson's and probably major incontinence.

    I didn't realise until the botty shenanigans scene (how WELL done...) that the baddies were all evil fags. I kinda guessed for real after the hero put on his costume at the last fight scene. fag repellant it was not.

    The best bit was..... umm can't remember.

    So bad it's good?

    Almost. I was looking for something so bad it's funny. Maybe shouldn't have watched it sober. Watch it with friends for a laugh maybe.
