David Carradine and Claudia Jennings ride around on motorcycles that have been decorated with "armor" of particleboard painted silver, fighting David McLean and mutants.
In other words, same old same old. Of course, 99% of all movies are that, and there's no reason to sneer at them. While I am sure some love this movie (62 people, almost 5% of those who voted, rated this 10 out of 10), and I have disdain for it, I am willing to admit the technical issues are decently tended to, as much as they can be on a Roger Corman budget back then. It's the choices they made. Broadswords may look cool as you ride along on your Kawasaki, chopping at the Man, but there's a reason why cavalry sabers are comparatively light swords, and often curved.
Neither is it interesting to me to see a landscape shot in as ugly a fashion as possible. Yes, I know. The future is horrible! Because of stuff! Even if it is, I don't want to look at the Vasquez Rocks shot in as unappealing a look as a willing cameraman can manage through a brown lens. Perhaps it would have helped if the leads hadn't been stoned during the entire shoot.
This was a hit for 1978. Sigh.
