Land of Doom (1986)
5/10
"Cut me loose. We can find it together"

Warning: Spoilers
Another post-apocalyptic movie with the usual trappings, elaborate motorcycles, leather bondage clothing, a crazy leader of an even crazier band, lots of pillaging and interfering. Instead of a lone male hero we have a lone female one, though she hooks up with a lone male hero later, making them a duo looking for Shangri-La or something. The action is not staged well, the dialogue is poorly written and the acting varies from bland to wildly over the top but not in a fun way. The last third of the film is just plain silly. (The flame thrower!) The open ending is most irritating. One doesn't even have the satisfaction of seeing the two main villains offed.

The only strong feature was the wonderful location shooting in Turkey. The landscape was the best actor in the film, always watchable unlike the cast.
