2019: After the Fall of New York 4K 1983

An Italian cover version of John Carpenter's Escape from New York by Sergio Martino, creator of The Cannibal God.

Three guesses: jaw like Snake Plissken, hairstyle like Snake Plissken, but not Kurt Russell? The correct answer is Michael Sopkiv, an American actor and model whose filmography consists of less than ten films (his career achievements include serving time for marijuana trafficking and founding a company importing opaque bottle glass), the hero of the groundbreaking film Apocalypse in a Bloody Ocean. His Parsifal (!) has both eyes intact. He is, as usual, a marginal figure to the core, a former military man who makes a living racing for survival (a warm hello to ‘Bronx Warriors’ and ‘Death Race 2000’). Caught by his former superiors, he is sent to the ruins of New York through ‘I don't want to’ to get... . a girl capable of sharing viable egg cells with a dying, sterilized humanity. However, New York is now controlled by the Yurakov government, a vicious Asian-Eastern alliance that has beaten the United States so badly that the remnants of the government have fled to the snows of either Alaska or Antarctica.

The rest follows the plot of Escape from New York, only passed through the brain-grinding machine of Italian filmmakers. Rat hunting, dwarf rebels, people with latex burns and ulcers covering half their faces, sewers, gangs with cold weapons, human-ape mutants, breaking through the security perimeter in a beat-up jalopy. A lumpy cocktail, a game of “I've seen this somewhere before.” Yes, the hero of this circus has two partners—a one-eyed man and an armless man. The smart will understand the director's mockery.
