Cashing in on the Post Apocalyptic trend that includes Death Race 2000, Mad Max and Escape From New York, this low budget effort from Italy borrows heavily from Escape From New York. The only fertile woman in America is in New York which is run by the Eurax, a new government intent on subjugating the poor and infected from the nuclear holocaust but of course they rule by brute force and it's up to our man Parsifal ( a combination of Escape From New York's Snake Plisskin and Mad Max's Max Rockatansky) to smuggle her out aided by assorted characters and regular C movie star George Eastman.

From the opening shots of N.Y which are cardboard cut outs, obvious miniature work and terrible make up coupled with a cast that are dubbed apart from Parsifal and cheap ray gun effects you still get an entertaining film with imaginative sets and occasional good set pieces.

If you like the Post Apocalyptic genre then this is a must see for shits and giggles.
