Just a note to all out there that I picked up a copy at Best Buy this week on a double disk Science Fiction Collection. Its out there and a pretty cool movie. Wonder why not available on Amazon.
Rating: - Post Apocalypse Worlds
An interesting film from the 1970's, part of a string of movies -- such as SOYLENT GREEN, THE OMEGA MAN, DAMNATION ALLEY, A BOY AND HIS DOG,etc. --which deal with civilization after some violent cataclysm. Yul Brynner was no spring chicken when he did this role but performs well. Max Von Sydow as the Baron (originally it was to been called THE BARONEY) delivers as a man struggling to keep the people in his charge from being overcome by the violent forces outside his compound and from extinction. Then there is Big Bill Smith. Has anyone ever played better-- and more -- crazed over the edge psychos ... Read More
Rating: - Brynner is Coooooooooooool.
I picked up this movie on VHS and hadn't seen it since I was a kid. I must say that I still like the movie. Some of that may be a nostalgia thing and some of it is simply because of Yul Brynner being super cool and also William Smith as the menacing villian. Max Von Sydow is also one of my favorite actors. But I must say this movie looks like an early 70's made for TV movie. The settings look really fake and like they are on the studio lot and a stock city setting. Some of the acting is also just horrible. But the top three guys make it worth watching and if you are a fan of this time period and this ... Read More
Rating: - I love this film because of William Smith
I love this film. While somewhat disjointed at times, truly some bad editing, it is one of those guilty pleasures, at least one of mine anyway. When I first saw it I was smitten with the actor who played the villian Carrot, William Smith, who is a very under appreciated actor, and have been a fan ever since. Max Von Sydow is also good as Baron and gives a performance that makes you feel sorry for the position he's in.
Don't get me wrong I like Yul Brynner, I saw him onstage in the King and I back in the early eighties, but director Robert Clouse did not write the role of Carson for him so to ... Read More
Rating: - Just release the bloody DVD already..
By the time they stop the legal wrangling anyone interested in this film will be dead.
And yes it is an interesting film...but where is the DVD? They must be having a real ball with the pathetic legal dispute that is hobbling the release. Why not transfer the original on to DVD, see how it fares and then squabble over the dollars? The film has a solid story, good actors (hey, there's Yul Brynner and Max Von Sydow working it as hard as they can). The director, Robert Clouse, creates an authentic nuclear winter look and employs his skills as an action / actor's director to give gravitas to ... Read More
