R.O.T.O.R. (also known as Blue Steel and R.O.T.O.R.: Police Force) is a 1987 American science fiction action film starring Richard Gesswein, Jayne Smith and Margaret Trigg. The film has been described as a low-budget copy of The Terminator and RoboCop with some elements taken from Judge Dredd. The movie is well known in Argentina as the origin of the name of the Argentinian rock band Él Mató a un Policía Motorizado (He killed a motorcycle cop).

Corrupt Division Commander Earl Buglar orders his subordinate Dr. J. Barrett C. Coldyron, a leading scientist in the field of police robotics, to rush development of an experimental police robot. Buglar wants the prototype – dubbed R.O.T.O.R. (Robotic Officer of the Tactical Operations Research/Reserve Unit) — ready in sixty days so that Senator Donald D. Douglas can take public credit for the project and use it to catapult himself into the White House.

Coldyron warns Buglar that the prototype is several years away from completion but is forced to resign and is replaced by his incompetent assistants, Dr. Houghtaling and his robot Willard. In Coldyron's absence, R.O.T.O.R. is inadvertently activated and put on duty. The robot executes a motorist for speeding and terrorizes his young fiancée, Sonya, who the robot views as an accomplice in her boyfriend's infraction. Upon learning his creation has escaped, Coldyron enlists the help of his colleague Dr. Corrine Steele, who designed the unit's combat chassis. Together, Steele and Coldyron track down the rampaging robot and attempt to stop it from killing again.

You've heard the phrase "so bad it's good!" Well, most of the time it isn't true. It's so bad, it's just bad. But this movie truly IS so bad it's good. The dialog is horrendous and sometimes nonsensical. And they really did try to be clever with it, for instance, there's a scene where the hero is giving a presentation on his robot to some scientists - each scientist's last name, along with the name of the place they work, is the name of a Beach Boy, and the dialog in the scene is full of really laboured Beach Boys song references.Once the robot starts following one woman and she calls the police, none of the decisions made by the hero make any sense at all.

Truly a prize turkey.

Cane Punk Chronicles - Tales of the Sunny Coast’s Punk Underground - Part One - DISRUPT YOUTH

This Episode sees the kick off of the long awaited Wastelands sub series / the Cane Punk Chronicles - Tales of The Sunny Coast Punk Underground - This week hear Mark-O-Mark talk about how and why he started the notorious hardcore/ street punk band Disrupt Youth.

Disrupt Youth played a perfect blend of HXC mixed with a snotty UK punk sound. Their songs lyrically talked about politics (such as the OJ Simpson BS) and about everyday social problems. Originating on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia where they slogged it out in the local scene before moving to Brisbane.

In Brisbane where they enjoyed a loyal following which resulted in Disrupt supporting such bands as The Misfits and Propagandhi.After releasing 2, 7 inches between 1996 -97, they released their debut album Look'n for Answers on October 10, 2000 on Beer City Records from the States. Disrupt disbanded at the end of 2000 and are currently on an extended break.

The origins of cane punk

The origins of cane punk is as murky and mysterious as the individual misfits, weirdos & kids that claimed the title and celebrated their individuality in the face a culture less, harsh, beige and often violent mainstream coastal mentality.

The world wide Punk movement of the late 70s and 80s traditionally had a particular urban flavour. Generally city kids feeling disconnected from the metro monstrosities that housed them, ignited a revolutionary fired music fashion and culture that screamed independence from the main stream.

The pre internerd punk kids of the late 80s early- 90s that happened to find their sorry asses in the culturally void rural region know as Queensland's Sunshine Coast, had a different yet no less lobotomising cultural challenge. These young coastal dwellers still shared the disconnectedness felt by the city kids, but their experience was compounded by the physical isolation that resulted in residing with in a rural community...lack of transport, employment, entertainment and opportunities to express themselves ....that and being surrounded by rednecks and footy boof heads.

So what did they do... lay down, conform and try to fit in?... Hell no. Much like their city cousins, they organised against bland oppression, they formed bands, made zines, organised punk shows, held markets, opened alternative shops and generally made a stand!!

So why's it called cane punk then I hear you ask... We'll curious reader, the primary industry on the Sunshine Coast (prior to its utter collapse in the late 90s) was sugar cane farming. Local cane punk folk law recalls a night in Woombye when the term was hurled as abuse at the punk kids during a violent altercation outside a gig between the punters and a bunch of drunk footy players that should have know better. We can only assume the taunt was based on the fact that a lot of the punk kids grew up on, in or around sugar cane. The sugar cane industry may have disappeared but the name stuck. So basically speaking the worlds' cities may be responsible for the invention of punk, but.....Sunshine Coast put the cane in it!!

May 08, 2022 by adam lewczuk in film, art, collectables, music, podcast

In this episode Adam and Mark talk about another hog-wild tale about a beast of staggering size, with a ruthless, driving need for blood and destruction. - modern Ozploitation ripper from 2017 - Boar

In the harsh, yet beautiful Australian outback lives a beast, an animal of staggering size, with a ruthless, driving need for blood and destruction. It cares for none, defends its territory with brutal force, and kills with a raw, animalistic savagery unlike any have seen before. Now coming face to face with the giant bloodthirsty killing machine, teens on a hiking trip will have the beast in order to en its reign of terror.

Wastelands Radio Show - EP 84 - Razorback

May 01, 2022 by adam lewczuk in film, podcast, art, collectables, music

In this episode Adam and Mark relive a hog-wild tale of terror from the Australian outback. It’s Nine hundred pounds of marauding tusk and muscle! - the Ozploitation classic from 1984 - Razorback

The film revolves around the attacks of a gigantic wild boar terrorising the Australian outback, killing and devouring people. The first victim is a small child who is killed. The child's granddad is brought to trial for killing the child but acquitted. The next victim is an American TV-journalist. Her husband Carl gets there and starts to search for the truth. The local inhabitants won't really help him, but he is joined by a hunter and a female farmer to find the beast.

There is no denying that Razorback's basic plot premise is pretty ridiculous. In short, a giant boar (a Razorback) goes on a killing spree in a small outback town. This is about as unlikely as a giant shark terrorising swimmers ("Jaws") or a wet Japanese woman climbing out of a television set ("The Ring"). My point is that even the most ludicrous storyline can be overcome by excellent film-making and this is certainly the case with Razorback. Razorback was the film that launched Russell Mulcahy's film career after making a name for himself directing music video clips for AC/DC, Queen and Duran Duran. Razorback reflects the same sensibilities that Mulcahy brought to his best video clips: frenetic pacing, flashy camera angles and stylish visuals. These qualities are almost disorientating during the film's action and horror sequences, making them all the more suspenseful and eerie.

Wastelands Radio Show - EP 83 - Highlander 2: the Quickening

April 24, 2022 by adam lewczuk in film, music, podcast, collectables, art

Episode 83

Highlander 2: The Quickening

In this episode Adam and Mark talk about one of the most controversial sequels ever made - so wildly out of sync with its predecessor that years later the director Australian Russell Mulcahy reedited in an attempt to right its filmic wrongs forced upon the film by financiers.- Highlander 2: The Quickening.

The second "Highlander" movie, again with Christopher Lambert and Sir Sean Connery. It's the year 2024, and all of the ozone above Earth is gone. To protect people from dying, MacLeod helped in the construction of a giant "shield", several years ago. But, since there isn't anyone left who's Immortal after MacLeod's victory in the previous movie, he has stopped being an Immortal. Now he is just an old man, until one day some other Immortals arrive on our planet. You see, the Immortals now come from another planet???

According to legend, the Director Russell Mulcahy walked out in disgust just 15 minutes into the movie’s premiere. He reportedly wanted to take his name off the film and have it replaced with the industry-mandated pseudonym “Alan Smithee” but was contractually forbidden to do so. Stars Michael Ironside, Christopher Lambert, and Sean Connery also added to the worldwide chorus of jeers that greeted the movie by publicly criticizing it and what appeared to be a surreal and deeply unpleasant experience filming it in a corruption-plagued Argentina.

Years later, Mulcahy released his own edit of the film on home video as “The Renegade Version.” The Renegade Version falls somewhere between a corrective for the original and a public apology for being associated with a motion picture so staggeringly incomprehensible. It has to make more sense than the theatrical cut, if only because it would seem impossible for it to make any less sense.

Episode 82

Beaster Day - Here Comes Peter Cotton Hell

In this episode Adam and Mark talk about the movie they chose to blind watch for the easter long weekend. It’s a full tilt gore, nude easter bunny fest - Beaster Day - Here Comes Peter Cotton Hell.

After a series of gruesome deaths, the local dog-catcher in a small- town finds that his target is not the rabid dog that's suspected of the crimes when he learns a monstrous 50 ft rabbit is responsible instead and sets out to put an end to its rampage through town once and for all. No explanation as to why it is 50ft tall is given, but then that does not seem important here. Difficult to rate this one. On the one hand it's simply awful, in particular the "special" effects yet it is also hilariously and stupidly funny. It's fast paced with kills every 4 minutes and they are pretty gory plus it has some gratuitous nudity. There is also a crazy Mayor, with a nod to Jaws.

Wastelands Radio Show - Ep 79 - Army of the Dead

March 27, 2022 by adam lewczuk in music, film, podcast, art, collectables

Episode 79

Army of the Dead or Curse of the Moppy Millennials

In this episode Adam and Mark talk about the new Zack Snyder zombie flick - which is kinda like a big heist millennial zombie soap opera - Army of the Dead.

“The film takes place following a zombie outbreak that has left Las Vegas in ruins and walled off from the rest of the world. When Scott Ward, a displaced Vegas local, former zombie war hero who’s now flipping burgers on the outskirts of the town he now calls home, is approached by casino boss Bly Tanaka (Hiroyuki Sanada), it’s with the ultimate proposition: Break into the zombie-infested quarantine zone to retrieve $200 million sitting in a vault beneath the strip before the city is nuked by the government in 32 hours. Driven by the hope that the payoff could help pave the way to a reconciliation with his estranged daughter Kate, Ward takes on the challenge, assembling a ragtag team of experts for the heist.

“They include Maria Cruz, an ace mechanic and Ward’s old friend; Vanderohe, a zombie killing machine; Marianne Peters, a cynical helicopter pilot; Mikey Guzman, a go-for-broke influencer and Chambers, his ride-or-die; Martin, the casino’s head of security; a badass warrior known as the Coyote who recruits Burt Cummings, a slimy security guard; and German safe cracker named Dieter. Scott finds an unexpected emotional hurdle when Kate joins the expedition to search for Geeta, a mother who’s gone missing inside the city. With a ticking clock, a notoriously impenetrable vault, and a smarter, faster horde of Alpha zombies closing in, only one thing’s for certain in the greatest heist ever attempted: survivors take all.”

Wastelands Radio Show - EP 78 - Rolling Vengeance

March 20, 2022 by adam lewczuk in art, music, film, collectables, podcast

In this episode Adam and Mark talk about the 1987 Canuxploitation film about a truck driver that builds a special, eight-ton battle wagon to help get revenge against the rednecks who killed his family. Directed by Steven Hilliard Stern and starring Don Michael Paul and Ned Beatty. Rolling Vengeance.

MV5BOGFhNmRkMDEtZWFmMy00NzMxLTk0ZDgtZTFjZDI1NWE2NjNjXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyOTc5MDI5NjE@._V1_.jpg

A truck driver’s family is killed by a group of red necks. Unable to cope with his feelings of loss, helplessness and utter crap local law enforcement, he makes a decision we can all sympathise with. He builds a gigantic, flame-spouting tank with giant tires and proceeds to take revenge on those who have wronged him, as well as their vehicles and buildings.

The vehicle itself is impressive -- it's not just a pickup truck on huge tires, it's a wholly scrap-built "Mad Max" battlewagon. It carries a gigantic retractable drill/metal cutter on its front bumper, apparently scavenged from some gratuitously suggestive metal-rendering machinery.

Wastelands Radio Show - Ep 75 - Clash of the Warlords

February 26, 2022 by adam lewczuk in film, podcast, art, collectables, music

Episode 75

Hangover hall of Fame - Clash of the Warlords AKA Mad Warrior

In this episode Adam And Mark revisit what is most certainly the most absurd post apocalyptic madmaxploitation nasty they have ever witnessed. An off-the-rails post nuke romp from Willy Milana that opens with the title card and then a 2-minute freeze frame of an explosion. -the 73 minute Filipino classic from 1984 - Clash of the warlords AKA mad Warrior.

Clocking it at a whopping 73 minutes, this is MAD MAX: BEYOND THUNDERDOME meets STAR WARS Philippines style! None of it makes lick of sense, like the lead villain going all crazy when the full moon is out (the production actually shows a non- full moon). or how the hero Rex (Willie Williams) is forced to fight against friends to the death in the "arena" (a small dirt patch surrounded by logs) to amuse scarface baddie Malzon.

basically the plot centers on Rex escaping from the camp with his son but are soon found and his son is killed before Rex is saved by a woman named Rhea. She takes him to Ophelos, a camp with fertile land and gun powder. Rex wants to get back at Malzon because not only did he kill Rex's son, but also his wife and as the final confrontation reveals, also his dad too.

It is pretty budget starved with the barren countryside representing the post-apocalypse world. The last ten minutes houses most of the action with some big explosions and a lightsaber duel from out of nowhere. The dubbing is great though

Wastelands Radio Show - EP 74 - Exterminators of the Year 3000

February 19, 2022 by adam lewczuk in film, podcast, music, collectables, art

Episode 74

Hangover Hall of Fame - Exterminators of the Year 3000

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'.

Episode 73

Hangover Hall of Fame - America 3000

In this episode, Adam and Mark revisit another hangover hall of fame shocker. The 1986 post-apocalyptic science-fiction cult film from Cannon Films, written and directed by David Engelbach, starring Chuck Wagner, Laurene Landon, and Karen Sheperd. Buckle in for AMERICA 3000!!

The film is set in post-apocalyptic Colorado, nine hundred years after a nuclear war between Communist Russia and The United States. The genders have separated into two warring factions; Plugots and Fraus. The Amazon-like females of the 'Frau' are the dominant tribe, and under them all male 'Plugots' are slaves, breeders, and playthings. Korvis (Chuck Wagner) and Gruss (William Wallace) escape enslavement, and, upon discovery of a stash of 21st-century weaponry, a new arms race is started between the tribes. It is up to Korvis, along with the Frau queen Vena (Laurene Landon) to find peace.

In the 2015 documentary, Electric Boogaloo: The Wild, Untold Story of Cannon Films, lead actress Laurene Landon, recounts her experience with Cannon Films when filming America 3000, and sets fire to her only copy of the VHS film.

Wastelands Radio Show - Ep 70 - Motörhead Funko Pops

January 21, 2022 by adam lewczuk in art, collectables, film, music, podcast

In this episode Adam and Mark talk toys, specifically the 9.5cm tall Plastic/Vinyl Motorhead pop figures put out by Funko.“if you like to game, I'll tell you I’m your man."

Lemmy was not only one of the founders of heavy metal, he was well known for his hard-living lifestyle, his a large collection of WW2 and Nazi memorabilia. And in latter years, holding up the bar and playing the fruits at the Rainbow Room on Sunset. What a damn fine man and roll model to many a misfit. and now he has been for ever embodied in toy form…..ironic but cool.
