Movie Review | The New Barbarians (Castellari, 1983)

Spoilers for the ending, sorta.

I feel like a lot of my enjoyment of post-apocalyptic movies is for aesthetic reasons, and I'm afraid I found the aesthetic here really lame. The bad guys are all shiny, the hero's car has a stupid looking dome on top that makes it look like a knockoff Batmobile, and instead of bullets, the guns fire lasers. That last touch is the most fatal. Instead of the tactility we normally get with gunplay, we have to listen to bunch of pew pew pews as characters zap each other, without even chintzy Nightbeast style optical effects to liven things up. I realize a lot of people will consider these things in the movie's favour, but I'm a man of taste. (Just ignore the rest of my viewing history.)

This actually feels like a Star Wars ripoff set on Tatooine that they decided to turn into a Mad Max ripoff at the last minute. Especially with the whizkid sidekick with a slingshot and played by Giovanni Frezza AKA Bob from House by the Cemetery (don't worry, he's dubbed by somebody else here), this feels like something geared towards kids, characters zipping around in shiny dune buggies and zapping each other to their hearts' content, except when it's interrupted by the bad guys graphically exploding anytime Fred Williamson shoots them with an explosive arrow, as well as one scene that can be described as George Eastman lightshow rape, scored to Italo disco. This might be one of the most baffling things I've ever seen in a movie.

***SPOILERS FOR THE ENDING***

Although I suppose there's some poetic justice in his demise, as the hero penetrates him from the rear in a different sense.

***END OF SPOILERS***

Anyway, I was not a fan of this, although I did appreciate all the bad guys getting blown up, as well as the cinematography by Fausto Zuccoli, the sweet Claudio Simonetti music and all the vehicular stuntwork. And Williamson looks like he's having a blast, so I enjoyed his presence too.

Chris: Warriors of the Wasteland is an Italian B movie similar to Mad Max starring Fred Williamson, something of a drive-in movie with not enough Fred Williamson, only for devotees to Fred Williamson, Watch: On Subscription Service.

Richie: This movie had some costumes but it was bad, Avoid.

Raphael (When the Dust Settles)

The amnesia stripped him of so many of his memories.

But he did remember some things. Donnie often retold some of their adventures to him if there were ever parts he was foggy on.

Don was there to fill in the gaps.

And so, he remembers.

He remembers Donnie. The Donnie from his memories is not like the Donnie he knows now. At least, not physically. He's still... him, he knows, but he always felt like there was something missing.

He can hear Donnie's smile when he talks but can't see it. Finds that he misses it. He misses the gap in his teeth and the way his reddish-brown eyes would go a little wild whenever he had a crazy idea. He missed the lively, excited expression on his face when an experiment proved his hypothesis true (or rather, did not prove his hypothesis to be untrue, as he used to say) or when he successfully engineered a new invention.

They were so uniquely... Donnie. Inspiration struck his younger brother often and the Donnie of his memories used to exude pride in his own genius shamelessly. He found it obnoxious back then but finds himself longing for it now.

Don's returned from scavenging, hauling supplies over his titanium shell. It's vaguely reminiscent of the way he used to position his bo staff on his shoulders and relax his forearms over it. "This should be enough firewood for a couple hours," he says.

Donnie retained the lisp from the gap in his teeth, despite no longer having any.

Raph smiles because of it, and decides to be grateful for it; another one of Donnie's uniquely Donnie attributes that he vows to never again tease his brother for.

His younger brother seats himself next to him, huddles by the fire he doesn't need to keep warm and the smoke he can't smell. He reminds himself to be grateful that he still has Don, who is, most certainly, still the Donatello. Even if his flesh and bones have been replaced with titanium and steel.

He's old and grey now, and one day, Donnie'll outlive him and he'll never stop outliving him because he won't age. He won't feel the weathering of his shell or the looseness of his skin. He will never know elderliness. He will just... be.

But he thinks Don will be okay.

Two hundred years ago, a foreign warrior named Brusly climbed to the top of the tower, defeating an increasingly powerful opponent at each floor. Despite the success of the trial, it was deemed too expensive and was abandoned.
