America 3000

I won't write again what has been written by other reviewers, other than this is a very silly film, stuck somewhere between the uninentionally bad and the tongue in cheek. Every time I saw the radioactive mutant (a small-scale bigfoot that seemingly loves 80s rock music) I laughed my head off, and generally struggled to keep my face straight for an hour and a half. The acting, costumes, make-up, music contribute, to various extents, to the high level of silliness throughout the film. This is well-worth watching after a few drinks/jays. For those who like this, check out The Ice Pirates or Hell Comes to Frogtown. Both are in a similar vein, but not as as bad as America 3000.

I recently watched America 3000 (1986) on Tubi. The storyline takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where women rule the land and men are either slaves or scavengers in the wasteland. One man rises with the goal of freeing his fellow men-either by confronting the women or finding a path to peace between the sexes.

The film is written and directed by David Engelbach, in his lone directorial effort, and stars Chuck Wagner (The Sisterhood), Laurene Landon (Airplane II), Victoria Barrett (Journey of Faith), and Karen Sheperd (Firestorm).

This is yet another '80s post-apocalyptic flick trying to cash in on the success of Mad Max. The settings, props, and costumes are all pretty fun, and I always appreciate the creative vehicles these films come up with. The women are stunning, and there's even a random Bigfoot running around for good measure. The narration is clunky, but oddly entertaining. Unfortunately, after a solid setup, the climactic battle is a major letdown-awkwardly staged and lacking impact.

In conclusion, America 3000 is a below-average post-apocalyptic entry that might hold some value for fans of '80s grindhouse oddities. I'd give it a 4.5/10.

This movie really is dumb and silly but i still enyojed it. The story about the women taking over the power after the third world war is rather awful. The names on all the charachters are really laughable. For example Korvis. Korvis in my language (swedish) mean that a person looks like a sausage. Korvis is not like a ordinary american name too I guess. One strange is that all women in the movie looks like models except for one old woman. At the end of the movie their are a great battle between the frollos (women) and the plugarts (men). You see both a lot of women and men die and beaten up. From the beginning there was ecually many women as men but in the end it remains five men but around 20-30 women, strange. I gave the movie a 5 out of 10 because it's really dumb and silly but at the same time really good because of its cheesyiness. If you like silly movie go rent this one - we did.

this film works for me. i know it wont work for everybody, but it is worth a go, and it probably is more enjoyable if you've had a couple of drinks and are in a forgiving mood. this film works for me because it is made with verve, everybody (for better or for worse) appears to have really thrown themselves into this film, and they understand that this is not brain surgery, nor is it gone with the wind. there is barely any plot, but they do not allow this to make the film slow, it moves along and its own good pace until it reaches a totally pointless climax which matches up with the rest of the film and thus completes it. it isnt really a laugh out loud film, more like 80 minutes of smirking. right up there with conan for the top silly loin cloth films.

This movie is so cheesy that for a very B Grade Post Apocalyptic movie it is actually worth watching. Just grab the pop corn, put the brain in neutral, press play and watch.

You'll have to see past the low budget props, I think they borrowed a lot from the set of Planet of the Apes, and maybe 1,000,000 years BC, and some of the computers are very 1980's, but then Star Trek the original series was supposed to be 22nd century, these computers blow those away.

And women in skimpy costumes made from animal skin always make a movie worth watching for guys. The dialog leaves a lot to be desired, but like I said, just put the brain in neutral and be entertained.
