The Exterminators of the Year 3000

I was raised on movies like this when i was a kid, i have seen them all and i love Italian rip off.

Its low budget but i loved it same as 2019 after the fall of New York, The Road Warrior, Bronx Warrior, Escape from the Bronx, The new gladiators.

This one had a boy with a bionic arm pretty cool and a modified car.... a bit more then the other post apocalypse movies

It's the year 3000 -- the Earth's ozone belt has been destroyed by nuclear blasts leaving survivors scouring the scorched landscape for that most precious commodity: H2O. Tough loner Alien (Robert Iannucci) travels this waterless wasteland in a souped-up car called the Exterminator (guzzoline clearly not an issue in this particular future world), the motor kitted out with all manner of gadgetry, including in-car video and bullet-proof armour; this makes him the target of a band of ruthless marauders, led by Crazy Bull (Fernando Bilbao), from whom Alien stole the vehicle, as well as opportunistic post-apocalyptic carjacker Trash (Alicia Moro), who, in the opening sequence, snaffles the Exterminator, leading to a high speed chase that leaves Alien trapped upside down in a wrecked police car.

Rescue comes in the form of ten-year-old Tommy (Luca Venantini), only survivor of an expedition to locate a rumoured underground water supply; he frees Alien from the twisted wreckage and the two from an unlikely alliance. Their journey involves run-ins with Crazy Bull and his gang, a visit to ex-astronaut turned engineer Papillon (Luciano Pigozzi), and encounters with Trash, who ultimately teams up with the guys to find the water.

A prime slice of early'-80s post-apocalyptic cheeze, The Exterminators of the Year 3000 is chock full of stunts, crazy characters, and diabolical dialogue, making it a real hoot for fans of low-budget Mad Max rip-offs. While the action isn't as impressive as the vehicular mayhem in George Miller's classics (what is?), it still looks fairly dangerous and is therefore suitably entertaining, but the film is at its most enjoyable when introducing its more outlandish comic-book elements: the Exterminator's Bond-style gadgetry, Tommy's new and improved bionic arm, Trash's sonic key, the group of mutants who protect their water with Indiana Jones-style booby traps, and the hilarious dialogue ("Into battle, my merry mother-grabbers!", "Unleash the dogs of war", "C'mon you little honey parrot"). I'd definitely liked to have seen director Giuliano Carnimeo push the futuristic angle more (apparently, men have travelled to Mars and Venus, yet Earth-bound transport technology has remained firmly rooted in the 20th century), but I imagine the minimal space-age tech was down to budgetary constraints.

After lots of shooting and explosions, the corny ending sees the heroes' tanker of water accidentally depleted by Crazy Bull's sadistic henchwoman Shadow, and the source of all that H20 destroyed by the mutants, but - as luck would have it - the Earth's damaged atmosphere repairs itself at the same time, leading to a downpour of rain. Cue freeze frame on the ecstatic good guys!

5/10. Anyone expecting the extreme adrenaline rush of the likes of Fury Road will be disappointed, but go into this with the right mindset and a fun time is there to be had.

This flick is SUCH a "Road Warrior" RIP OFF right down to the car crashing thru' a mobile home camper! George Miller probably should have SUED these film makers,but by looking at the budget for this film...he probably wouldn't have gotten much. I'm not going to bash this film TOO much. For what it's worth,it IS kind of fun. But when the bad guy calls his gang "Mother Grabbers",it turns into comedy GOLD! If you want a no brainer low budget action flick...check it out.

Everything you really want from this kind of film (minus nudity possibly). Alien is a hard headed but love-able warrior of the wasteland, who ends up joining a young cyborg in a quest for water to bring back to the boy's peaceful commune. The two are accompanied by Alien's (long time?) frienamie, the beautiful but rugged "Trash" and a lovable retired astronaut. The crew must face a roving car gang, who's leader uses the word "mudder" pretty frequently, as well as doomsday water cultists(?) and the unforgiving desert of the post apocalyptic future. The movie of course takes its cues from (read rips off) Mad Max as well as a few other Sci-Fi classics. There is plenty of possibly unintentional humor, corny action and entertaining 80s schlock. The dub falls out of place a little at times but its watchable all the way through.

In a world of TurboKid and Fury Road, its a little easier to get other people to watch these kind of fun trashy films. Getting them to stick around for most of it is another story. This title has great pacing for a film of its type and would make a great intro in to the genre for that friend who likes some of the Neo-Trash like Turbokid but maybe wouldn't make it through Battletruck or Bronx Warriors.

In Water World, they have too much water and are looking for Dry Land. In this flick, there's too much dry land and not enough water. If there is such a thing called a Road Warrior genre, you would find this film in that section. The screenplay to this film was probably 20 pages long. Most of the film has truck and car chases with explosions and gun fights. A typical post nuclear holocaust sci-fi film with bad actors. this film could have used ten more years of development.
