Directed by Tonino Ricci, Italy. More postnuke action shenanigans from Italy! Bruno Minniti (or “Conrad Nichols,” if you prefer) stars as Rush, a tough drifter captured by the evil forces of mad warlord Yor (Gordon Mitchell). Yor has an imprisoned workforce who all seem to crouch around tending plants. I’m not sure the screenplay is quite up to scratch here, but that doesn’t really matter because the greased-up Minniti ensures the energy quotient makes up for it. Pretty much the entire second half of the movie is one long action sequence (although fussy viewers may notice a certain cheapjack quality to it all). 3/5.
