"In a post-apocalyptic future, a group of weary survivors is faced with a relentless onslaught from a gang of roving bandits. Into this conflict comes two men, rivals by nature, but forced to take the same side against a common foe. The survival of the human race may very well come down to the outcome of this battle!" according to the DVD sleeve's synopsis.
In the year 2019, Giancarlo Prete (as Skorpion) battles George Eastman (as One), with a little help from friends Fred Williamson (as Nadir) and Ennio Girolami (as Shadow). Apparently, the "survival of the human race" is at stake because Mr. Stevens and his homosexual gang are killing all the women left on Earth. So, with technology nuked back hundreds of years, where will they get new men to join the gang?
Enzo G. Castellari "I nuovi barbari" ("The New Barbarians" in English) features funny hair-dos, souped up golf carts and a poor imitation of the Batmobile. The scenes of mindless violence are, appropriately, highlighted by decapitations. There is a difficult to discern "huh? what is happening there" gay rape scene. This film might have worked if they just made an all-out "Mad Max" parody, with Mel Brooks directing.
Too dumb to be offensive, but a noisy waste of resources.
