2019: After the Fall of New York

Another post-apocalyptic film set after radiation has ravaged NYC. Normal people are being hunted to run experiments on, but most people have radiations burns on various parts of their bodies. This film was shot in 1983, so it's got some pretty dated sets, costumes, and acting. Well, if the year is 2019, and the nuclear bomb went off 20 years earlier, then that means 1999. The plot is basically that no human has been born in 15 years (so 2004), and they've found an uncontaminated woman who they hope to reproduce mankind with. All the cyborgs have supposedly been eliminated, but they keep showing up. There's basically awful radiation-derived costumes and latex appendages and scars. This group of hunters has to break into NYC (from Alaska), grab this fertile woman, and then break back out again to repopulate the earth. They are helped by various bands of deformed renegades (including a dwarf named Shorty) and monkey people. This movie is bad, stupid, and boring. Not worth spending the time reading the back, let alone watching it.
