A biker (Michael Beck) running on chicken-made methane fights an outlaw (James Wainwright) whose battle-truck guzzles fuel. collapsed governments & bankrupt countries heralding a new lawless age.
I've been obsessed with post-apocalyptic cinema ever since I saw Mad Max for the first time in 1990... How did I miss this gem?! Fantastic. Thank you!!
That was not US Film studios. That looked very Ausie in the terrain scenes. This is My first view also. Classy vehicles of the Apocalypse The Bike had no power, and wrong tire pressures
Anybody seen tv movie knight rider 2010 it has nothing the do with knight rider but he drives a artificial intelligent car big mustang I like that movie
Crazy how low budget movies from the 80s are far superior to most movies these days with a higher budget. Great movie. 19:24 top right corner, microphone lol.
Wow!!! Haven't seen this movie in so long. The 80's were the best times, I mean movies were made that weren't big hits, but stayed in our memories forever. I remember a toy line of vehicles called Metal Monsters or Steel Monsters I believe. They looked like these vehicles in the movie. Thanks for the up load. 🤘
A good Kiwi movie with uncle Bruno and the team from Pork Pie. I remember seeing this at the Majestic in Wgton when cinemas were huge - at Intermission they brought round those rock hard ice creams and you could roll Jaffas down the aisle - filmed near Elephant rocks near Oamaru and out the back of Alexandra. Lee tamahori is the apprentice boom operator and that stuntman did get run over...not too bad at all!!
Thanks for that, I live near there and its been a popular spot for other movies more recently too. Cinemas in the 80s were way cooler just like most things.
Amazing how in the eighties motorcycles changed in mid ride from 4 stroke to 2 stroke and back to 4 stroke again. In this movie i see some elements of Mad Max (1979) and The Car (1977)
Pretty Good Flick. Never seen this one. If you like post-apocalyptic movies you should watch this one. Story line is good for the timeline it was made. Nice twist in this movie I did not see coming.
Mad Max 2,road warrior,from 1981,inspired lots of low budget movies.Megaforce was made on a big budget of its time$20 million. Another different type of post Apocalyptic memorable movie, even before Mad Max was from 1977,Damnation Alley, Starred the lates George Peppard,Jan Michael Vincent.
Ahh yes the old battle truck built here in my home town Ashburton, New Zealand. Apparently it was left over the cliff at the final scene haha wouldn't be allowed to do that these days!
In the future, gas is $60 per liter... So this guy says, "I'm moving to the desert, where there is nothing, and I will drive around in a truck that gets 4mpg!"
Modern petroleum fuels also don't store very well. Tanks can get condensation inside them, which ends up inside your engine, doesn't do any good to injected engines.
@juliansadler6263 Kind of. The engine will come to a stall if the water blocks the fuel injectors. Gasoline/Petrol especially changes a lot over three to six months. So don't store excess fuel at home. The fuel in your motorcycle from before winter, run it through your lawn mower if it looks (no water in the bottom) and smells okay.
BBC1 banned this in 1987 after the Hungerford tragedy. The director complained and expressed his views to a British newspaper then it finally got its premiere in April 1989. Some family friends told me that's when they saw it. I recorded the movie in summer '91 before going to London.
I kept thinking that someone would start clinking bottles together and chanting “Warriors….come out to play, Warriors…come out to playaya” but there again I remember watching that film in 1979 at the cinema at a base I was training at, and it got a standing ovation from the whole audience, so much so that when they played the national anthem nobody heard it, boy was the SNCO in command pissed-off with us all, and if I remember correctly they played the anthem again and we all were rigid at attention and singing our heads off, but that was a lot of years ago and my memory is not what it was, or should be, I might have remembered it wrong, but we did give it a standing ovation.
Funny that Annie McEnroe is the same age as I, yet I've never seen this movie or her. I guess, people born in the 50's were more the outdoor type and took another decade or two to ajust to the indoors.
These people don't understand the concept of getting off of the road.. when they're being chased by vehicles, that are limited to certain types of terrain.
Definitely tell it's Australian. The firearms are MOST DEFINITELY Aussie favorites. 303 SMLE Enfields, Ruger Mini-14s etc. BIG favorites back in their good 'ol days!
