A place for lovers of B movies to come together and talk about them.

Rules:

  1. Be most excellent to one another. (Don't be a jerk)
  2. Try not to repost movies that have already been posted. (If it has been over 12 months feel free to repost)
  3. If posting links for people to watch the movies let them be legal ones. (Free is best but not when it's shady, you dig?)
  4. Have fun and enjoy all the awesomeness that B movies can bring you.

Tagline

The final war is over. The battle's just begun.

A weapon without limits. A warrior without equal.


Elevator pitch

  • Let's rip off Mad Max 2 yet again!

Premise

Betrayed by his gang that controls the oil in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, Slade joins the rebels and builds the ultimate assault rifle.

Trailer

Full Movie

Details
Unless otherwise stated, all full movie links I post are for free, no account required, licensed (AFAIK, IANAL) streaming VOD in English (or original language with English subtitles) and work at time of writing in my location, Mexico. Availability and language options may be different in your location. Asterisk by the one I watched.

Legal stream finders

Details
The 'nobraincellsleft' link finds legit stream sources from many countries, listed by two-letter code.

The Just Watch link lists legit stream sources only for one country at a time. On the web page, change the country to your location, e.g. change Mexico to Australia.

Neither is perfect. Check your preferred streamers directly, just in case.

Info

Personnel

Cast

  • Richard Norton (The Octagon, Twinkle, Twinkle, Lucky Star, Gymkata)
  • Corinne Alphen Wahl (Penthouse, Spring Break, Shackin' Up)
  • Robert Patrick (Future Hunters, Hong Kong '97, Terminator 2)

Comments

Directed by Roger Corman protégé Santiago, who brought us flicks like the Filipino Blaxploitation women in prison movie The Muthers. And multiple Mad Max 2 ripoffs. (About 2 a year in the 80s and 90s?)

This one seems to have every single outdoor scene take place in the same quarry (except for the world's crappiest canyon car jump?), just shot from different angles.

Slade (Norton) builds the world's most redundant assault rifle with like 6 barrels, which automagically wipes the floor against all opponents.

If they had put one tenth of the effort into the story as they did the (pretty awesome) action, it might have been half-way decent.

Screenshots

Norton's side are all dressed in black leather, shoulder pads and iron crosses... are they the baddies? (Oh look, that quarry.)

At least Robert Patrick is dressed like a soldier from the Union army, not the Confederacy. (Oh look, that quarry.)

Apparently all you have to do to beat all enemies is just keep adding barrels to your gun. (Oh look, that quarry.)

A screenshot from an older jrpg called "resonance of fate." This was the ideal setup for that gun.

In case its not clear from the picture, thats an m1191 with 22 additional barrels, including two snub nose barrels protruding from the extra grip attached at the bottom right

Damn, I remember enjoying that game on the 360.

I don't remember ever having that crazy or a set up but I never beat it. I really only have vague memories of the weapon customization. I think it was pretty unique for someone who didn't play many jrpgs.

[–] Gustephan@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

If it makes you feel any better, the game was an absolute fever dream even for somebody who played a lot of jrpgs as a teenager. I think I gave up on it and returned a few months later twice before I beat it, and in the decades since I still haven't found a game that plays similarly

:D

Does it come with a wheelbarrow to move it around?

[–] Gustephan@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Lol. Nah, optimal usage of that weapon involved running at the enemy, shooting them until you launch them upwards, then jumping about 50 feet in the air so you could shoot them from above and bounce combo them. The game is uhh... a bit of a fever dream
