A groin-kicking good time! Land of Doom is basically Mad Max, but with a chick. It’s set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland and features a warrior princess who reluctantly teams up with a soldier-of-fortune type to fend off a gang of roving leather-clad dune buggy and motorbike riders.
This “Raiders” gang is dressed as WWE wrestling stalwarts Demolition and the Legion of Doom.
In the course of their travels, the intrepid duo is forced to fight off cannibals bearing crossbows and extremely unconvincing French accents as well as Turkish sand people Star Wars rip-offs.
Cheap and cheerful, Land of Doom features crackling dialogue such as “We got jumped by surprise!” (er, that’s kind of the point) and the warrior princess’ dialogue consists almost exclusively of how she doesn’t care for being touched and can take care of herself.
We’d be remiss if we didn’t mention the super-villain, with a skunk stripe hairdo who bears a slight resemblance to wrestler Ric Flair.
