It's movies like 'Exterminators of the Year 300' that make watching films at midnight with your friends worth while. You're able to bask, laugh, drink, and enjoy all the cheap stunts, bad acting, and cheesy story lines that come with this film. The poster art alone shows just how awesome this movie can be with big guns, a futuristic cityscape in the background, and the title that says it's the year 3000. Everything about that description makes me want to watch this movie again, so I can have a good laugh, because this film doesn't really feature any of that.
'Exterminators of the Year 3000' is an Italian film that is basically the same movie as 'The Road Warrior'. I could definitely see the Italian director Giuliano Carnimeo or as he's billed here as Jules Harrison, watched 'Mad Max 2' and it blew his feeble Italian mind. Following his mind being blown, he probably called his friend, drew a picture of what he saw with a piece of dialogue and went to local businesses asking for money to make his version of what he saw in 'The Road Warrior'. The few dollars he did collect, made 'Exterminators of the Year 3000'.
Shot overseas with a mix of actors who spoke English, Italian, or Spanish, and with some heavy duty reinforced vehicles hellbent on crashing into each other, this film was born, never to be seen or heard from anyone until now. The year is 3000, but you'd never know it, because the vehicles are from the late 70s and it's filmed in the middle of the desert. So much for that futuristic city from the poster, right? The world is a dried up, sandy hell hole where the hottest commodity that everyone is after is good old fashioned water.
A group of survivors including a blonde chick and young boy with a special yet violent talent, meet a mysterious loner to try and find water while destroying a vicious gang led by a guy named Crazy Bull. And that's all there really is to this film. Every story line and character is straight from 'The Road Warrior', but 'Exterminators' doesn't seem to mind that it's the same film, just done on a much lower level. I will say that it's great to always see an action film all done with practical effects when vehicles are concerned. The crash are real, big, and done pretty well, considering the type of film this is.
The acting is so atrocious, it's highly entertaining and keeps you laughing throughout. Even the costumes were modeled after 'Mad Max 2'. But that's what make this film so much fun. It just doesn't care and has the cojones to not be afraid to be so bad, it's good. 'Exterminators of the Year 300' is certainly not a good film, but it might be the perfect movie to watch with some good friends with a few drinks late at night.
