Warlord 3000
THE STORY:
Have you ever had a dream that was kinda cool, with action and monsters and stuff, but when you wake up, all you can remember are disjointed scenes and things that don't make any sense? Well, if you haven't had that experience, this is the movie for you. It was awful.In the beginning there's this narration about how the sky is all [unwrite]ed up and yada yada, yada....its told by the voice of an old man and it's a direct rip off of the Road Warrior. Nova, a young feisty man is returning home from the army. He arrives just in time to get his ass kicked by some road warrior like bad guys who are busy killing his family. Naturally, he survives, but is now driven by revenge against these men. A few years later he learns that the bad guys are selling and using "the seed". Its a drug of course. He kills a few of them in petty boring scenes. He finds them in their hangout, a bar (and the only building for miles) called the Watering Hole. One of the men he kills is the bartender at the Watering Hole. This part is interesting only in the fact that its not the same actor that was in the scene when his family was killed.
Whenever Nova kills one of these guys we get a flashback of the murders...one of the actors that was in the family death scene was Brion James! Yes, Brion James, the same guy from Dead Man Walking, Mutator, Time Runner, Blade Runner, and probably a million other movies. It looks like Mr. James saw what a donkey's dick suck this movie was early and bailed, because thats the only scene he's in, although his character shows up later.
Anyway, Nova and Anani, the waitress/bar owner/whatever falls in love with Nova. He stays there with her. She has a foster son, Tab. Its her foster son because women die from childbirth in this future world. I'm not sure of Anani's status because it looked like she just worked there, but after Nova kills Brion James' stand-in I guess she owns it. Government agents show up and get Anani's friend Veros to rat on the Bad Guy's secret outhouse where they store 'the seed' for shipment. Later the military shows up and kills a bunch of guys involved in this, including Veros. He was stupid enough to believe they'd offer him immunity. The military led by Gen. Tadder goes to the bad guys hideout and kills them. I never did catch the head honcho bad guy's name and there are only so many times I can bear to rewind a tape.....and I wasn't going to watch this again. For some reason the deaths of his enemies by the army pisses Nova off. Big deal, this movie makes no sense anyway. Head Honcho guy escapes the assault however. Oh, and there's a scene where Nova kills a biker chick that's in with the bad guys...during that we learn that the notebook his father kept has the formula for the seed. His pop was a scientist and created the seed to replant the barren earth. When the head Honcho guy makes it to the Watering Hole we find out that he is Anani's father! Nova fights another guy that was in on the family murder and then faces off against the Head Honcho. Gen. Tadder shows up and kills Head Honcho and plans to kill Nova, but Nova shoots him first. Then he leaves, driving off into the sunset. We hear the narrator, who is supposed to be the little boy, Tab, fold things up, just like in "The Road Warrior". Only this movie sucked ass.
Let me tell you how much this, movie hurt...during the first half hour I got a phone call from a co-worker, so I had to stop the tape. When I was finished with the call I thought "Oh God, Now I have to turn the tape back on! This movie sucks!"
A little later on my wife needed me for something. I had to stop the tape again. When I got back to the TV I decided to watch the Simpsons to numb the pain....I didn't want to finish watching this. The dialogue and acting in this movie are beneath the level of pitiful and approaching demonic in the way that it can squeeze the will to live from your soul. But I finished watching it. I would rather eat dog food that's been in the sun all day then watch this again.
Best Lines:
"Now, do we all know what the word of the day is?...RUTHLESS!"- The Head Honcho guy to his men.ARE YOU KIDDING ME?:
1.)
I said this before, I believe in the review for "Last of the Warriors". Where are these bad guys getting their food, ammo, etc. Especially fuel? They spend a lot of time just riding around on bikes in circles! And these are new looking bikes! They have on racing clothes like they're professional motorcycle racers! Where'd they get them?This movie is terrible! Not plain terrible, but mind crushingly terrible!2.)
Nova saves an old guy from some bad guys that broke into his home and are going to rape his daughter...Nova JUST HAPPENS TO SHOW UP! He advises the old guy to arm himself. The old guy just says the bad guys stay away for awhile then come back. What? If he knows they come by every so often to kick his ass and rape his daughter why doesn't heA.)
Have a weapon and bust some caps in dey assor....
B.)
MOVE! At least for his daughter's sake!3.)
Nova doesn't care who gets killed! He kills Brion James' stand in by planting a bomb on his house. The guy had his wife in there! She didn't seem like she had anything to do with whatever the stand-in had done. Nova just blew the house up! What a dick!4.)
Wait a ding dang minute! There's a government somewhere? It must suck, because there's no control in this movie. If there's an Army why does the government have so little control in this anarchist's paradise?5.)
One thing the people fear in this future are the storms. The Helios storms or whatever they call them. From the footage they show of a storm they cause H-Bomb like explosions! Damn! that's one helluva storm! A side note---we don't find out to mid film why the earth is so [unwrite]ed up. The ozone layer is gone.6.)
Head honcho bad guy kills biker chick. She failed to kill Nova so he's pissed. Now Biker Chick tells him the military is coming to get him and walks away. Head Honcho shoots her in the back. But from the angle we see she was walking towards a corner. Wasn't there a director for this sorry flick?7.)
Nova is right when he yells at Gen. Tadder about the assault. He made to much noise. The army just drove to the bad guys HQ and shot them. If the bad guys were competent they could have won. There was no tactical knowledge shown by Tadder. They just drove up there!8.)
Veros, the guy that rats on the seed operation takes the government agents to the storehouse of the seed. Its an outhouse looking building in the middle of the desert...with no guards. The government couldn't find this on their own?NUDITY AND SEX:
Pretty much every woman in this movie shows her boobs.HUH?:
Nova follows the biker chick to her hideout. The old guy is there and gets caught...and then killed...but...but...HOW'D HE GET THERE!? Nova followed her in a vehicle. Did the old guy just walk there and BEAT THEM BOTH THERE?Oh God, I feel sick...everything in this movie will make you say "huh?".
THE TALLY:
This movie is a festered boil on the devils own balls. It sucked. It was worse than Interzone. It was worse than Supernaturals. (Even though I hate "Supernaturals" more.) It wasn't worse than Doom Generation, but nothing created by man can be as bad as that movie. It was directed by a guy called Faruque Ahmed. I've got news for ya, Faruque...you suck. I curse this movie to the devils butthole where it may melt from the noxious farts of Old Nick's intestines! Let it not cast its evil on mankind again!
