Hagrid S Aug 21, 2018 this is sort of a mad max or escape from new york wannabe, so if you like that kind of 80s crud, its for you but im not much of a fan See more
Leia W May 19, 2017 Very underrated 80's Post-apocalyptic drive-in prison. Creative to a high point. They just don't make movies like this anymore. If you've never seen will make your day memorable. 5/5 See more
Albus G Apr 11, 2017 I finally got around to seeing this one, and this movie serves as a reminder of how Australian films are the best at portraying the Wasteland. See more
Luke S Apr 4, 2017 Starts by ticking you into thinking it's going to be one of the 47 million Mad Max rip offs that was released around the same time, but quickly takes a left turn into "poignant social commentary". Keeps the punks though, so that's cool. See more
