Too much of everything
Highly Overrated But Still Good
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
Considering its age and that it's Italian,this movie isn't too bad.There's been a nuclear war and a group known as the Templars wants to kill everyone who survived.The main character,who is very boring and forgettable,must stop them.The special effects are so bad they're funny.The Templars shoot some kind of sticky land mine at the hero's car and it sticks to the door.He pushes a button and the door flies off and lands right next to the bad guys.There's an extremely tiny explosion and people do 3 flips in the air like a nuclear bomb hit them.This movie probably set a record for the most people to flip into the air due to a tiny explosion.There's even a few times where it looks like their lips match the audio.90% of the movie takes place in a quarry.They drive out on one side and then just go in the other entrance.Not the best story but there's just enough boobies to even it out.Definitely worth watching.
'The New Barbarians' aka 'Warriors of the Wasteland'. Here's your typical crappy B-action film, complete with some of them looking spaced out, one looking like a priest for deer hunters, some look like bums, and others looking ordinary. They drive fast cars and motorcycles while carrying guns ans such. The film is another post-apoptotic type of movie -- wanting to be Mad Max and Star Wars smashed into one.I see nothing new here, it's just done on a small budget with a story, look and feel that is unappealing to me. And there is a very annoying blonde headed kid that really gets on my nerves.If you are really into 1980s Action film then you might like this one. I am one that is extremely picky about these types of film and only like a small handful of them.3/10
As a fan of obscure 80's drive-in and late night TV movies, I usually find something to like in even the most low-budget film. But "The New Barbarians" had absolutely nothing in it, that I can point to as giving even modest entertainment value.The soundtrack is jarring and uneven disco-synthesizer. The acting is on a grade-Z level. This is supposed to be a desert wasteland, yet the bad guys run around in pristine white costumes. The vehicles are all new looking and shiny, standard car frames covered with unconvincing sheet metal. The sound of the car motors is poorly over-dubbed with a buzzing sound. All the action seems to occur in the same quarry location.What's especially ludicrous are the tiny flash powder explosions, followed by stuntmen flying through the air as though propelled by a mini-nuke.And to think that a crap movie like this is actually available in Blu-ray. While other much-better films of this era (like "She" starring Sandahl Bergman) are only to be found on hard-to-find poorly transferred DVDs.
I only write reviews of movies with low rating, which actually are not that bad. Give them a chance!Yes, they tried to make another Mad Max and yes, they failed. But, the movie is still watchable and good in some parts. Vehicles are SO BAD that they actually look like the apocalypse happened! Nothing can be perfect when you have nothing! So I find this great! :) Acting is OK, Fred is great choice. Fighting scenes are bad, but if we look at the budget... Don't expect much and you will watch it to the end, especially if you like post-apocalyptic movies as I do.5.5/10
