Why aren’t more people talking about this masterpiece? This is easily one of the best post-apocalyptic, low-budget, martial arts films I have seen. Also serves as one of the best Terminator rip-offs to boot
The only real setback is that the main villain is not very entertaining, nor very intimidating. He also can’t do martial arts if his life depended on it. Which is why they just give him an Uzi for most of the runtime.

It is such a slog. Absolutely nothing happens in this. The worst Christopher Walken film I have seen.

If you can ignore the fact that the movie was made during one of the last famines in Soviet (and Russian) history, the film has some charming qualities. At least as a kitch film.
