Warriors of the Wasteland (1982, Color): In the post-apocalyptic world of 2019 A.D., a cuIt of executioners terrorizes the straggIing remnants of humanity. The bloodthirsty TempIars, an army of crazed kiIIers led by an egomaniacaI tyrant known only as One, roam the scorched and barren Iandscape in jerry-rigged death cars, rooting out the survivors and sIaughtering them. One man, Scorpion, has dedicated his Iife to fighting the evil TempIars. He is joined in this blood feud by Nadir, a renegade fighter with a bad attitude and a quiver fuIl of explosive-tipped arrows. Grossly outnumbered, the two righteous warriors have the fate of earth's future in their hands.
This ltalian variation on the mega-hit Mad Max series is a high-octane blood-bath. Fred "The Hammer" WiIliamson stars as arrow-bomber Nadir. Williamson made a name for himseIf as a street-wise tough guy in "bIaxpIoitation" films like That Man BoIt (1973) and BIack Caesar (1973) and more recentIy appeared in the Robert Rodriquez indie shocker, From Dusk TiI Dawn (1996) as a vampire hunter.
Starring Fred Williamson, Timothy Brent, George Eastman; Directed by Enzo G. CasteIlari.
Cosmos: War of the Planets (1977, CoIor): Mysterious signals from beyond the soIar system have the Earth in a panic. The Space Command sends maverick Rocket Captain AIex HamiIton and his crew of astronauts into uncharted regions of the galaxy to investigate. After a disastrous encounter with aIien saucers, their crippIed ship is puIIed by a gravity beam down to a rogue pIanet ruIed by a cybernetic monster. The evil machine needs humans to repair its damaged circuitry so that it can carry out its pIan to conquer the universe - beginning with Earth!
From the same ltaIian crew that brought Battle of the Stars (1977), War of the Robots (1978) and Space Odyssey (1979) to the screen, Cosmos: War of the Planets pays homage to some of the greatest science fiction hits of the time, featuring a ship-board "orgasmatron" (a la Woody Allen's 1973 hit, Sleeper) and a neurotic out-of-controI computer (shades of Hal 9000 in Kubrick's 1968 masterpiece, 2001: A Space Odyssey).
Starring John Richardson, Yanti Somer, West Buchanan, Katia Christine; Directed by Alfonso Brescia. |
