It’s always interesting to observe how different countries respond when cinema introduces something groundbreaking—like ‘Mad Max’ did for post-apocalyptic films—because everyone recognizes its potential for financial success. This movie from Italy, which clearly didn't require a large budget for actors, sets, or costumes, isn’t terrible. Director Castellari maintains an energetic pace throughout the film that doesn't let up. (The 87-year-old director—bless him—is currently working on ‘Keoma Rises,’ his first movie in six years, which is scheduled to come out later this year.) I’d only previously seen his spaghetti western 'Keoma,' a film I really enjoy. He includes two scenes with unnecessary but welcome sexuality as an attempt at developing the characters and story, and honestly, it doesn't bother me—especially considering the beautiful Italian actresses he has in the cast. There’s a strange feeling of male desire present, especially during a scene where Scorpion is being tortured, but it isn’t something to worry about. Fred Williamson is the only actor I recognized, and he continues his usual approach of charming the women and winning his fights—a pattern he follows in all his films. The electronic music sounds dated, though not unpleasant, but it's not as good as what bands like Tangerine Dream or Goblin produced. Overall, those 91 minutes were time well spent; I even watched it while eating spaghetti and drinking red wine to fully embrace the Italian vibe.
