The late '70s and early '80s were a glorious time for genre movies. The success of huge movies like Jaws and Star Wars opened up the floodgates for every studio to begin cranking out horror and sci-fi and fantasy, and while major studios were releasing both A-level and B-level genre movies, the independents were going nuts cranking out knock-offs and cheap imitations, many of which have an immediacy and energy that surpasses even their more expensive counterparts.
These are not movies particularly interested in exploring themes or enlightening the human condition. They are about pushing buttons and activating the pleasure centers in the brains of those of us who love these movies. They are pure cinema. That's an apt description for 1983's post-apocalyptic sci-fi actioner Exterminators of the Year 3000 (aka Death Warriors), an Italian Road Warrior knock-off new on Blu-ray from the good people at Scream Factory.
