Alright, I might be thinking of two movies here, so I've divided it into parts that I know were part of the film, and other parts that might be part of the movie.

Things I'm sure of:

It was a B-movie that aired years ago on late night HBO or Showtime.

The title was (I think) something along the lines of LA 20## (can't remember exact numbers), or possibly Death City or something equally cheesy.

The plot was that LA had become a penal colony, and convicts were unloaded onto the island.  In the opening scene, a shipment of convicts was being unloaded, and a gang rolls up and says "Take the women and children, kill the men" or something to that effect.

There is a scene where the heroine is looking at a child's doll.  The hero says something disparaging to her, and then they commence with a random love scene with nudity.


Things I think were part of the movie, but might not be:

One of the evil character's name was Juice, and he had some electrically charged chainsaws or clamps.  The main hero fights him in a cage match.



Any help would be really appreciated.

Could one of those movies be Terminal Island?

No, unfortunately that's not it.  I'm pretty sure it was made in the 90's or perhaps late 80's.

Might it be Firepower(1994). Here is the plot:

n the year 2007, crime has risen at an exponential rate. Once highly populated metropolises such as Los Angeles are no longer inhabitable. These cities have transformed into "Hell Zones," ruled by violent street gangs. The Hell Zone, formerly called the "Zone of Personal Freedom," is a safe-haven for criminal warpaths everywhere. This Hell Zone in LA is controlled by a criminal mastermind named Drexal (Joseph Ruskin). For the sake of entertaining his crowds of decadent losers and underlings, Drexal has staged a series of lethal, no-holds-barred matches in the "Death Ring," where the winner takes all of the glory...while the defeated one shall lose his self-respect (or maybe just his head). Meanwhile, two brave cops, Braniff (Chad McQueen), and Sledge (Gary Daniels) must risk their badges...and their lives when they enter Los Angeles's "Hell Zone." They must fight for their lives in order to expose an alleged "black market" involving the sale of counterfeit AIDS vaccines. Will these two men triumph against all odds in the Hell Zone alive or will they pay with their lives? 

That sounds pretty close, but I don't think it's the one.  Pretty similar plot, though.  I'll have to check that out to make sure, but I'm pretty sure the movie had a year in it's title.

I am pretty darn sure that I know this movie.  If I can just jumpstart enough brain cells.  I think that there was also a minisub involved or a boat, though I think I am cross-linking it with "Escape from LA" in some respects.

Any further ideas on what this might be?

stupid answer,probably,but isn't this escape from l.a.?no,wrong title...uummm...shoot..l.a.2027! that's the title,probably the wrong movie...(for joe,i type what i'm thinking)

I think that I might have your film:

"New Crime City" aka "Angeles 2020"

that's the one i was thinking of,wrong title,but close,lol!i bet you're right!

Yeah, that's the one!  Thank you guys so much.

I just got this one from netflix, and I liked it a lot more than my girlfriend did.  Still a pretty bad movie.

Thanks again.
