Friend looking for an Escape from LA ripoff. Suggested 2019, After the Fall of New York, Bronx Warriors Trilogy, A Man Called Rage but not any of those; he seems to remember it being better quality than those. Any suggestions?
I'm a little confused here.
Escape from L.A. (1996) came out
well after all of those movies you listed; how could any of them be ripoffs of it?
Is he perhaps looking for an
Escape from New York (1981) ripoff? If so, he may even be thinking of
Escape from L.A.!
One place to look would be IMDb's list of
Most Popular "Post Apocalypse" Titles. There are 929 titles listed, but you can easily refine the list using other relevant keywords.
(For reference, the above suggested movies are:
2019: After the Fall of New York (1983), "Bronx Warriors Trilogy"
1990: The Bronx Warriors (1982),
Escape from the Bronx (1983),
Endgame - Bronx lotta finale (1983), and
A Man Called Rage (1984).)
