Sat, Nov 23 9:30 PM
A ragged band of survivors of a nuclear holocaust (led by the awesomely-named DACK RAMBO) fights for survival against evil villain Bishop who is imprisoning radiation scarred survivors (“muties”) from fallout in his zirconium mines. Or Something Like That? A true Corman-copia holiday feast, this movie blends together extensive stock footage, endless scraps of other movies, and then sprinkles on probably 10 minutes of original footage shot in Peru to bake-off the most epic SciFi Post-Apocalyptic Action-Adventure movie you’ve never seen!
