“Warriors of the Wasteland” (1983) is one-of-a-kind Mad Max ripoff, pastapocalypse flick
Two mercenaries help wandering caravans fight off an evil and aimless band of white-clad bikers after the nuclear holocaust.
Set in the aftermath of a nuclear holocaust, the film plunges viewers into a world stripped of civilization. Caravans, representing the last remnants of humanity, face an existential threat from a marauding gang of menacing white-clad bikers. The aimless brutality of this biker gang sets the stage for an epic battle of survival.
Although the budgetary constraints are overtly apparent in the films overall look, there are a number of commendable action and gore sequences littered throughout the running time including a humorous beheading scene and a number of bodies exploding in a particularly cool manner! And let us not forget, how can any film be entirely bad when the always awesome Fred ‘The Hammer’ Williamson is on board?! (Well with the exception of the atrocious Delta Force Commando of course!)
