Apatros Review Ep-0068: Urban Warriors [1987]

AR-0068: One of the last Italian "Mad Mario" movies [Italian knockoffs of "Mad Max 2"] to be made during the 1980s, this is substantially lesser quality than the early Mad Mario movies were.

A trio of military scientists serving in an underground military facility survive the outbreak of WW3, only to emerge about a week or so later and find their city annihilated, with the only survivors being mutants who cannot stay outdoors after dusk and who need human spinal fluid to survive [how did the writers come with that?]. Only one of the scientists has the survival skills to survive this nightmare...

Although it cannot match the enjoyment factor of early '80s Mad Marios, "Urban Warriors" does have some passable action and it makes for a reasonable time killer, although the best audience for this are professional Bad Movie Masochists.

This doesn't seem to have had a DVD release, but it was issued on VHS in the States by Cannon Films [yes, THOSE guys] as part of a very short-lived range of DTV [direct-to-video] features called "Action Adventure Theatre" which all came with introductions made by Michael Dudikoff.

My Grade: D+ [Disappointing]
