2hotFeature one of my absolute favorites!

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Zbigniew_Krycsiwiki Raiders of the Lost Ark ripoff, crossed with a Mad Max ripoff, and a disaster/ horror movie ripoff, with sunken artifacts ripped off and thrown in for added randomness.An incomprehensible mish mash of strange ideas and action vignettes, this has a sudden hurricane(?) sinking the oil rig carrying scientists who are attempting raise a Russian sub from the ocean floor. After being picked up by a trio of thieves on a boat, they stumble onto the mythical island of Atlantis (raised by the radiation of the Russian nuclear sub(? again)) and its violent, biker gang inhabitants. Who even knew there were bikers on Atlantis? After being attacked by said violent biker gang inhabitants, the group breaks into the island's conveniently heavily armed, abandoned police force, and declare war.Things get even more confusing after that, but that's irrelevant. There's no sense in even trying to decipher the story, because it's obvious that there isn't one, they were just making it up as they go along. The purpose of this movie was clearly just the action, and there's plenty of that: they're making their getaway on a stolen bus when a helicopter filled with Atlantis' biker gang launch an attack. But our heros don't bother to shoot the helicopter. Instead, they let the thugs jump out of it and onto the roof of the van, where a fistfight ensues not once, not twice, but THREE TIMES, before they climb out of the windows and onto the roof of this moving bus to shoot the helicopter. The bus crashes though a barricade and barely makes contact with two other cars, but they immediately explode and burst into a ball of flames.And there's that stone statue thingie that shoots lasers out of its glowing red eyes.This can actually be fun, if you turn your mind completely off, and enjoy its absurdities, hilariously awful (and completely nonsensical) dialogue, and overly dramatic death scenes; many of the deaths are accompanied by yells of "Ay ayeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" A disclaimer in the closing credits reads: "All events and characters depicted in this photoplay are imaginary and any resemblance to actual persons and events is unintentional and purely coincidental". Imaginary?

chris-w-king Recently after discovering the awesomeness of the bronx warriors trilogy i have been hunting post-apocalypse exploitation movies. After 2019, endgame, & conquest i came across The raiders of Atlantis. This strange little film seems to have a pissy biker gang come to be thugish oiks when Atlantis resurfaces. A neighbourhood quickly becomes their playground of burning buildings and rubble. The main evil dude has some weird see-through plastic mask and as usual all his droogies dress like s&m gimps. Ah the 80's It has some gore, not to wave your hands about, but to make your cheeks hurt from laughing. A biker gets decapitated, then the headless biker drives forward into a wall. There is a few dummmy heads getting punctured in various ways, but for most of it people get shot and just fall over.Its not groundbreaking, the first 20 mins drag a bit, but then its a solid little pacey schlockfest. For post-apocalypse completists and 80's cheap action enthusiasts.

HaemovoreRex From Ruggero Deodato, the director who gave us the incredibly powerful and disturbing Cannibal Holocaust comes this lighter weight action yarn from 1983.It utilises the intriguing central premise of the resurfacing of Atlantis as a catalyst for mass violence when the descendants of the aforementioned long lost continent, who are now living amongst us, take to the streets in heavily armed gangs and set about annihilating the rest of mankind.The future of the human race appears to rest in the hands of a small group of people who escape the initial wave of urban anarchy whilst they are out at sea.But returning to dry land how can so few defeat so many? The above plot provides the basis for scene after scene of urban shoot outs and ferocious pitched battles against the marauding hordes of leather clad, painted faced bikers as our heroes fight for survival in a world that has descended into chaos.A great assembled cast of B-movie favourites including Christopher Connelly, Tony King and Ivan Rassimov head this fairly enjoyable effort that is certainly never dull and boasts some admittedly very exciting scenes ala. Assault On Precinct 13.Added to this some great stunt work, with some very noteworthy scenes involving a mini bus and you have a solid 90 mins or so of action entertainment.However……it has to be said that the film makes virtually no sense at all! It appears to have been cobbled hurriedly together sans any logic which sadly serves to seriously undermine it.It's almost as if, in a desperate attempt to cramp in as many action scenes (copied from other movies) into one picture, the makers forgot to provide a plot that links the said scenes together.The end result is a decidedly disjointed affair to put it mildly.However, I don't wish to be too hard on the film for viewed as an action movie it certainly delivers the goods by the bucket load.As a final note, fans of those lovable cut and splice ninja movies from the 1980's as produced en masse by Godfrey Ho and Joseph Lai will delight to see non other than Bruce Baron as the head villain in this, although he spends most of his screen time beneath a 'crystal' mask.

Sic Coyote This is a terrible movie.If you take the Sea Devils episode of Doctor Who, The Road Warrior, Rambo, Indiana Jones, Star Wars, The A-Team and various other popular stuff and mix it together into a total mess, you have this film.This movie has: Paper-thin characters, Huge plot holes and leaps of logic, Dodgy special effects etc etc The only reason to watch this again is to mock it, that's the only enjoyment really to be gained out of this get a load of alcohol and a few mates into crappy movies and this should be an interesting subject for abuse. That's all it's good for. This is Italian exploitation at it's dumbest.The biker riding on headless and crashing into a bush was quite funny though.1/10
