This is my kind of movie!

I read on the street is that this came about from the sets and costumes of cancelled He-man and Spider-Man movies and that makes sense. Apparently the director wanted it to be a heavy metal opera! Apparently there's a directors cut that 99 out of a 100 people hated! I'll have to track it down next.Meanwhile, I enjoyed the story well enough, the costumes were great, my gosh Jean-Claude Van Damme was young!I came to this movie because someone on the internet was talking about how all the characters are named after guitar brands. Between that and my love of A: Low budget 80s film, B: Low budget post apocalyptic film, C: Movies featuring Martial Arts in general, and D: Jean-Claude Van Damme specifically, I knew I had to get my hands on this, and I was not disappointed.You have to be a certain type of person to love this kind of movie, and I am that certain type of person. I'm surprised I'm not giving this a 10!

Action, mayhem, and drivel

The biggest mistake they made here was not stretching the fight scenes as much as possible.The dialog was horrid and the plot itself was a very abbreviated Road Warrior retread. The attempts at sentimentality (the burning wedding cake, the scared kids) didn't even work. The opening narration only let you know you were seeing an extended chase scene.However, the fight scenes ROCKED. Van Damme proves that he may be better off as a man of few words. The endless bone breaking and face busting kept attentions. The revenge plot was just there for an excuse.Van Damme's best? No way. (That would be Bloodsport.) But worth a look as long as your FF button works.
