World Gone Wild

This is a 1980's Mad Max rip-off, with bad acting, cheesy writing, inane violence and a transparent plot. The "name" actors in the film must have been forced to do this film as some sort of contract fulfillment or, if not, they needed to fire their agents (and probably did after filming this dreck). Don't waste your time and, for heaven sake, definitely don't fork over any money to see this drivel. It was SO bad that I considered that maybe the viewer needed to be stoned in order to appreciate it but I decided that even stoned this flick is garbage. The film makers should be stoned ... and I mean with boulders! Wish I could have the time back I put into watching it.

The Seven Samurai serie B version in an apocalyptic future. It's honest, unassuming, old school, fun and politically incorrect. I recommend it to those nostalgic for 80s cinema.

I remember seeing this film at the theatre. I had no idea what I was going to see, but a friend dragged me out to it. Needless to say, I enjoyed it immensely. I say this with a sad tinge as, for some weird reason, the people responsible for ensuring that it stayed on VHS/DVD, dropped the ball, but decided to let other, far worse movies, stay in publication. If you pass this up, you miss out on such greats as Bruce Dern, and Michael Pare'. If there was a hidden message of the movie, it was that we were/are destroying our precious resources with all that we do to mother earth, but even then, there will be those who feel they have the power over others. If you get the rare chance to see it, I'd recommend it.

Yet another Seven Samurai ripoff--did you notice the picture of Steve MacQueen in Michael Pare's hovel, just in case we didn't get it? This thing has two things to reccomend it--Bruce Dern being more or less as crazy as always, which has been a great thing to watch since The Cowboys at the very least, and Adam Ant proving that he should have done more movies because he is really entertaining. I wonder if they've done it on MST3K.

World Gone Wild is one of those many Mad Max clones produced in the 80s after the success of George Millers first strike, but don't get me wrong, if you want a well written story and some excellence regarding cinematic techniques, or top notch special effects and stunts, World Gone Wild is for sure no movie for you - Mad Max just plays in another league quality wise. But for the right audience (like me) World Gone Wild is fun trash. So what do you get? Besides some action and explosions, the world of World Gone Wild is filled with crazy people and lots of crazy ideas, Hardrock guitars scream in the background, and human life is not worth a sip of water and blood easy spilled. Verdict: tasty cheese this is, touched gently by queen nostalgia, and better than most post-apocalyptic (teen drama) movies we get these days. Exact rate: 4 + 2 for the extra cheese.

Ok It's true, the only character in this film experiencing any magic is Bruce Dern's, but it really is a fun trip. And if you can get over the cheesy music, and lame graphics in the opening credits, you will probably enjoy some of the bizarre humor it offers. The characters are memorable, and almost invite you to laugh along with them.
