It's the year 2019, the world devastated by a nuclear war. It is a land where gangs of human predators travel in packs like wolves, where junkyards are filled with the dying remnants of society, and an army of carnivorous military prisoners threaten a fragile sliver of civilization. The only hope of the few remaining survivors is to reach a distant land from where radio signals, indicating the possible presence of human life. (official distributor synopsis)

The middle piece of Castellari's loose post-apocalyptic trilogy is basically a spaghetti western in a post-apocalyptic setting. Imagine typical western confrontations, but in cars. The result is an extremely low-budget imitation of Road Warrior, which was also inspired by westerns. Castellari, however, takes this approach to a stylistic (almost ridiculous) extreme in his film. His novel widescreen compositions, crazy sets (golf carts converted into combat vehicles with flamethrowers or armour made of transparent plastic), infantile script as if from the pen of a 15-year-old teenager and stoner music make it a pleasantly bizarre experience. And now I know where Rambo got those explosive arrows! Fred Williamson.
