This is Italian exploitation flicks at it's best. Guess this one came because of the post-apocalyptic hype after "Escape from New York" and "Mad Max", and got stuff like "Rollerball" also in it.
Of course it's an awful movie full of missing links. But here is simply no need for explanations, this question would be stupid.
It's the full atmosphere of 80ies italo exploitation thrash: good explosions (gas!gas!gas! - nothing digital! I reminisce in nostalgic), crazy overacted characters, some bare breasts, a setting full of cheap dirt.
Those movies are so honest in their cheasiness and roughness, I love 'em. - And the 60's, 70's and 80's were best!
Italy full ahead! A pitty the video-market got down and what is left is filled by the majors with hollywood-cheapos exploiting themselves with their own cheap rip-offs which have no life of it's own; a pity, no good exploitation-scene nowadays...
