After a nuclear war, society breaks down into two groups, the evil Euraks and the rebel Federation. A mercenary named Parsifal is hired by the Federation to infiltrate New York City, which is controlled by the Euraks, to rescue the only fertile woman left on Earth. 2019: After the Fall of New York (1983)<br/><br/>Shriek Show / Media Blasters - DVD D: Sergio Martino 3.5/5<br/><br/>It's 2019, twenty years after the apocalypse. The Pan-American nation wants to save the human race by rescuing the last fertile female (Valentine Monnier) on the planet and sending her and selected others to the stars to re-colonize. They enlist a wasteland warrior (Michael Sopkiw) to infiltrate the stronghold of the Eurac who are also a bunch of horny little bastards. This Italian rip-off of Mad Max and the like is badly dubbed as you would expect but it is a lot of fun. Sergio (A Man Called Blade, Mountain of the Cannibal God) Martino keeps the pace fast and action-packed. Good fun for those who like the genre. If you are reading this, you probably are interested in post-apocalyptic movies and you probably already seen movies like Mad Max and Escape From New York. It's not a secret that this movie was inspired by those films, but that doesn't mean it's bad. Actually I think if you liked those films, you'll like this one too. Maybe it's not that good, but it has more gangs, more colorful characters and much more action sequences (mayebe even better action sequences). Since Mad Max have already showed us what the future is going to be like, this movie gives us an opportunity to travel around a post-apocalyptic wastelands to get to know better this kind of world and to experience all sorts of adventures. There's all sorts of different characters like cyborgs, lonely wasteland warriors, infected people and many others. Like I already have mentioned, this movie has a lot of great action. There's some great car-chase scenes, which were surprisingly well made and looked very exiting. Also there was lot's of fighting scenes, with some great acrobatic tricks and the fighters sometimes used strange looking weapons, which cosed lots of blood and some chopped-off limbs. Shoot-outs were great too, only there was too little of them. The acting (if you care about the acting) was good, actually there was lots of great actors in this film, though not many of them are known today. So if you are fan of post-apocalyptic movies, you just have to watch this one.
