Exterminators of the Year 3000 (1983)


Director: Jules Harrison

Really crappy Italian ripoff of Mad Max that had me dozing off about three times as the tape was playing. Seems like in the year 3000 there was a nuclear war of sorts, causing the ozone layer to fully erode, and a massive shortage of water on earth to be in effect. You have your usual group of good guys (botanists trying to regrow the earth), your bad guys (land pirates hunting water who are led by a big fat guy wearing eyeliner), and your obligatory Han-Solo type character named, ha ha ha....Alien. There is also a shaggy haired kid from the good guy camp who has a bionic arm (this is never explained) and Alien's ex-girlfriend, Trash. You gotta love those futuristic names, you know? Also notice how this is supposed to be the year 3000, yet everyone is driving 70's junker cars with bars over the windows for that "car of the future" look. Anyway, everyone is after a big secret stash of H2O, in which all hopes of survival is pinned on. The good guys and bad guys have their usual scuffles, with the bad guys coming out on top most of the time. So, its up to the team of Alien and Trash, along with the shaggy haired kid and his map to find the secret watering hole and restore happiness and H2O to all mankind.

Overall, this movie was pretty damn bad. The only entertaining thing this movie had for it were some ok Dukes of Hazard style car crash scenes. That's about it. The dialogue was horrible, acting even worse, and not to mention we get no gore or nudity whatsoever. If you are going to make a cheap ass film, at least throw in some blood squibs here and there and some naked chicks, you know? No one watches these movies for the serious acting and plot, we want blood and boobs dammit! Sigh....
