Save your money for something good and enjoyable

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Whew, what a bad movie! Clearly, Italian cinema was going through a Mad Max rip-off phase, and this is probably the worst of the bunch. The movie opens and closes with a visual technique borrowed (or perhaps stolen) from HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER. Immediately after the lone Warrior rides his motorcycle into focus, we're subjected to 90 minutes of some pretty wooden acting on the part of Robert Ginty. Perhaps the director told him to play his part like Clint Eastwood, but half of the time I couldn't understand what Ginty was saying. Dear old Clint made a career out of his famous sneer and grizzled, growling whisper of a voice. Unfortunately, with Ginty it doesn't work. Instead, most of the time he comes across sounding like a whiny little pipsqueak. Equally excruciating is his talking (yes, talking) motorcycle named Einstein. The barely-perceptible story hinges on the Warrior getting involved in some sort of revolutionary movement and doing spectacular motorcycle stunts. All while blandly pursuing and rescuing the daughter of the movement's Jimmy Carter-esque leader. What's astoundingly awful is that there are actual stars: Donald Pleasance, Fred Williamson, and Persis Khambatta (from STAR TREK fame.) However, even they can't save this fiasco. The best way to enjoy this film is with the MST3K guys. However, if you don't have a copy of their episode, get a DVD if you can find it and gather your own brood of funny pals. Remember, it's okay to drink while Ginty is driving!

MST3K had a great time riffing this. The movie is very good material, and I think it's a real classic in it's genre(crappy low-budget Nineteen Eightyfour motorcycle Mad-Max ripoffs).The movie is a great example of "so bad it's good". We have a lot of ridiculous action, which is good, since many movies like these try to have some sort of "story" which just takes time and bores you to insanity. Warrior throws that crap out of the window and concentrates on what's important.There is a computer, Einstein(credited as "itself"), who wins the "Most annoying computer of all time"-prize without even trying. Seriously, I'd take HAL before this one. There's Ginty, referred to as "Paper Chase Guy", who is the best mumbler ever to play hero, and best of all, there's MEGAWEAPON, a huge truck with flamethrowers and spikes.This movie is awful. But unlike Mad Max, it doesn't try to take itself seriously. It's good fun and a good MST3K episode. Watch it!

Alright, here's how my experience with this movie went, my brother bought a copy on VHS and we watched it. And I almost died of laughter. Some people would say, "hey, if it's that pitifully funny, why not give it a bad rating?" but the thing is, it was so ungodly entertaining, that I couldn't give it possibly anything less than a nine, and the fact that it has the best theme music ever, coupled with the run time on the box being wrong, and another excellent performance by Donald Pleaeance, it was just too good to be true. So basically, go find this movie, I haven't seen the MST3k version, but would like to, it doesn't matter, all I know is that the original is a true wonder to behold.

You know, this could have been watchable, in a 'Sci Fi' channel way. No, seriously. Robert Ginty (the 'Paper Chase' guy) is completely out of his depth here, but he's actually a very good actor in the right parts. And the movie has Persis Khambatta, and Fred Williamson and Donald Pleasance, for God's sake. Williamson and Pleasance can and have carried movies before.But this one sinks like a stone and drags the actors down right along with it.The problem, of course, is this movie's director isn't fit to tie George Miller's shoelaces. And the producers wanted to exploit the Mad Max audience, but they didn't want to spend the money on scenery, photography, costumes, special effects, or extras. So what we get here is a kind of visual shorthand where our imaginations and good feelings about "Max Max" are meant to fill in the gaps: the talking motorcycle stands in for Max's Interceptor, the assault truck stands in for the tanker truck from "The Road Warrior", Robert Ginty stands in for Mel Gibson, and Megaweapon and Donald Pleasance and a parking garage are supposed to make up for the violent crazies and nomads and apocalyptic landscapes that menace the good guys.It doesn't work, of course. Doesn't even come close. All that comes to mind while you eyeball this shabby imitation of "Max Max" is, "Gee, I wish Mel Gibson would make another Max Max film, because this thing really sucks. And whoever thought of that 'Speak-and-Spell' motorcycle should never be allowed to work in movies again, because listening to it is making me bleed from the ears." Joel and the Bots covered this for MST3K, and their version is pretty funny. But don't waste your time of this otherwise.
