Battletruck (aka Warlords Of The 21st Century)
This would have to rank among my favorite films made in NZ. Well overdue for a DVD release this is a great piece of the post apocalyptic genre. Michael Beck from The Warriors plays the tuff guy hero and perhaps the greatest NZ actor Bruno Lawrence plays one of the henchmen.

I see there is a release from FleshWoundVideo but I'm guessing its just a bootleg taken off the tape...




Any other fans of this one?

Not sure if i've seen this one - they all kinda blur...

IS this the one where they're all after water instead of gas?

They do kinda blur together for sure. Nope they're after water in Exterminators of the Year 3000.

Yup a bunch of times.

Smash Palace and Bad Blood are two of my favorite NZ films.

I rest my case lol.

One that sticks out though is Warriors of the wasteland (The New barbarians) - its the only Mad Max rip off where the male hero is anally raped by a bunch of futuristic Templars :-)

:p heh!

Loved The New Barbarians, 2019: After The Fall Or New York is a ripper too. Think they come in a triple pack with 1990: The Bronx Warriors... really should look into grabbing it myself sometime.

Have you seen Warrior of the Lost World with Robert Ginty and Donald Pleasence? Laughably bad but a fun watch, Ginty has a Knight Rider style motorbike that tells really lame jokes. Pleasence looks like Dr Evil in this one :D
