Review of 2019: After the Fall of New York (1983) by Ola G — 22 Sep 2009

It's the year 2019 and the world has been hit by a nuclear holocaust. The few people alive hope to find something or someone else out there in the wasteland. A gang called The Templars are as well roaming the land, killing everyone they.

See, since their belief is that life makes no sense anymore.

Scorpion (Giancarlo Prete) is a loner and mercenary just trying to survive in this world, but he is eventually dragged into a situation.

Where he saves the girl Alma (Anna Kanakis) from being killed by The Templars. Scorpion has a past with The Templars and soon enough he is being chased by them. He find himself needing the help of Nadir (Fred Williamson), another mercenary to be able to handle The Templars and save mankind from them..

You have to say that Enzo G. Castellari is an interesting film director with movies such as "Keoma", "The Inglorious Bastards" and "1990: The Bronx Warriors" on his cv. "The New Barbarians" is however not his finest hour if you ask me... I must have seen this back in the eighties, but I do not remember anything from it. Having seen it again, I believe I simply deleted it from my mind of obvious reasons.... It is almost so bad it becomes good. "The New Barbarians" is a bad bad bad rip off of George Millers "Mad Max 2 - The Road Warrior" and even putting those two titles in the same sentence is kind of embarrassing. I reckon you need to see the bad dubbing, the bad acting, the hilarious cars and the sounds supposedly coming from them, the action sequences and the general b-movie structure that are just amazingly BAD!! : ) I did like Anna Kanakis though...
