'80's Junk


LAND OF DOOM-1984-In post-apocalyptic future, gangs of “mad men” roam the land raping and killing. Smug humorless Harmony (Deborah Rennard) meets a wounded guy named Anderson (Bruce Campbell wannabe Garrick Dowhen). She carries a crossbow and doesn't like to be touched (“Never touch me!”). A nut named Slater (Daniel Radell) who leads the group wants Anderson. He sends a cackling dick named Demister (also Radell) to capture him but when he tries to rape Harmony she kills him. Anderson wants to rebuild the world and find a secret place where people have joined together. The duo hop on a motorcycle to try and find it. 

Along the way they meet a cannibal with a barn full of corpses and are hunted by his friends. There's also a plague spreading around. Harmony talks more about not being touched. Later they meet Orland (Aykut Duz) who travels by bicycle. When the pair are captured by Slater, Orland shows up with a flamethrower and he and Anderson beat up Slater's whole army while some “Greatest American Hero” music plays. They also get help from some hooded Ewok inspired characters. Sets up for a never made sequel. Filmed in Turkey and directed by Peter Maris.

Thanks for reading!
