The New Barbarians

The year is 2019: the nuclear apocalypse has already happened. This is another post-apocalyptic Mad Max wannabe film with Fred Williamson. All the cars are dune buggies and painted silver and everyone has hilariously "futuristic" pointy costumes (man I hope those don't come into style in 2019 for real). The sweet car Scorpion drives around in has this hilarious glass bubble on the roof like a fish tank that glows green at night – that's not obvious. Then Fred Williamson drives around in a sweet dune buggy with equally hilarious round glass all over it. The film has awesome (and painfully obvious) mannequins blowing into pieces. Add in a couple of low-speed car chases and in-buggy fighting at speed under 5mph and you'll have maximum suspense (at least for this film). Also, according to the credits, 90% of the people in this film are from Italy (except for Fred Williamson). Alright, here's something you don't see everyday (and hopefully won't in 11 years): Apparently one of the initiation ceremonies of the templars (the bad guys) is some sore of sodomy performed by the leader to the captive. How did they think of that?! Funny costumes and bad acting, but probably not worth killing an hour and a half for.
