Wastelands Radio Show - EP 74 - Exterminators of the Year 3000
WASTELANDS - An Australian B-grade, Punk Rock, Street Trash online radio show hosted by long time partners in slime Adam (085c3n3) Obscene and Mark-O-Mark, pondering punk oddities, b grade movies, and trashy treasures.
In this episode Adam and Mark revisit one of their favourite hangover hall of fame flicks. The 1983 Italian-Spanish science fiction action film directed by Giuliano Carmineo, set in a post-apocalyptic future where water is scarce and hair spray is not. Exterminators of the Year 3000.
The year 3000, after a nuclear war turned the earth into a desert. A group of survivors in a cave runs out of water and desperately needs new supply. The last guy they sent out didn't return. His 10 years old son Timmy wants to join the next team. They know where they'll find a well, but the problem it the way there, which is controlled by a savage gang of motorcyclists under the bloodthirsty Crazy Bull.
THE EXTERMINATORS OF THE YEAR 3000 is another Italian post-apocalypse madmaxploitation adventure with parts one and two of the MAD MAX franchise being the obvious inspirations here. There's very little in the way of originality, but It’s got amazingly terrible dubbed dialogue and heaps vehicular violence and chases aplenty across a rugged desert landscape.
You also get a wooden but chiselled hero who is a bit of a dick, the usual an assortment of oddballs, a kid with a bionic arm, hermit that gets the kid drunk and a feisty female fighter (who is actually the real hero). The main baddie is just some overweight bald guy who loves the term 'mother grabbers'.
