Raiders of the Sun (1992)


Set in the world after the final nuclear war. There are only few survivors and world has fallen into chaos. This time the most valuable thing is gunpowder. Alliance called Alpha-Group tries to get the world back on the track by providing some kind of law and order. But there is a traitor (Richard Norton) among them  who has left the Alpha-Group and has formed his own vigilante posse.

Story focus on the soldier called Talbot (Blake Boyd) who has been honorably discharged from the Alpha-Group. He returns to his home village only to find out that it has been destroyed and his wife has been kidnapped by the vigilante posse. Talbot infiltrate the posse in order to get his revenge and his wife back.

Good post apocalyptic movie from the maestro Santiago. Lots of action and this time they did go all the way with the explosions. There is lots of them, i tell you. Post apocalyptic soldiers wear this time old American football gear, helmets and shoulder pats painted black. But hey, that's ok. It's the world after the nuclear holocaust so you have wear what you can...

Santiago regular Nick Nicholson has one of the biggest roles i have seen him in as the sidekick of the Vigilante group's captain.

Good fun, give it a spin.

Future Hunters (1986)

Film starts as post apocalyptic movie. Year is 2025 and world has been a wasteland for last 40 years. One man can save the world by finding the spearhead that was used to kill the christ and he must touch it to go back in time. Yeah, that's right. He finds the spear and is transported back in time to LA. Year is 1987.

Slade(Robert Patrick, Terminator 2) and Michelle(Linda Carol) finds him wounded, man tells them that they have to return the spearhead to it's original shaft. Man from the post apocalyptic world drops dead. Couple start their journey to find the shaft. Bad guys are of course after the spear so that they can unleash the evil powers and rule the world.

Wild mix of genres in this one. Post apocalyptic movie turn into present day drama, then suddenly some kung fu is thrown in and rest of movie is sort "Romancing the Stone" rip off. Movie also includes tribe of amazon women, rose sniffing bad guy (that was SO over the top that i totally cracked up), lots of cardboard stones and all kinds of crazy shit.

Definitely not the best Santigoa movie, but lots of fun. Just be ready for some really over the top WTF moments.
