..poor one at that

The only means of transportation in these post apocalyptic epics seem to be dune buggys and dirtbikes

This one dosent even deserve the title "B" movie. Another $1.00 Wally world special

So awful it was great.

Now would be a good time for the name of this classic.
Warriors Of The Wasteland

Come on... How can you dislike any movie with Fred Williamson? And Claudio Simonetti's music?

My personal favorite part is the love scene where the hero lets the woman think he's about to rape her. Then he doesn't, and she has sex with him. I laughed.

Almost picked this up tonight at Wally World from the dollar rack. I got Shaolin Deadly Kicks instead and found a 4-pack of westerns in the $5.50 dump bin (my old friend), that had My name is Nobody, Cain's Cutthroats, Massacre at Fort Holman, and Hot Lead?Bull of the West in it.

Surely for a buck Warriors of the Wasteland is worth a look.

This movie still causes me pain, because I am certain Fred Williamson should have rescued the hero from...that.

Old Southern is my brother by the way. Now Menard has two of us to contend with.

My Name is Nobody is a personal favorite of mine.

Warriors of the Wasteland is one of my all-time favorites.

I almost bought Warriors of the Wasteland from Wal-Mart tonight, kind of wish I did. Oh well, it'll be there for a while. I did get a $1 double feature of God's Gun and Kid Vengeance. Both are Lee Van Cleef westerns.

My Name Is Nobody is great. I've got the Image Entertainment release, which looks pretty good, is wide screen, and the sound is good, but it looks like one of those non-progressive transfers 'cause the image has a sort of blur at times.

I'm so scared.

I have "Warriors" in a 20-pack from Big Lots --
I watched the opening -- Yeah, I get the "Mad Max" ripoff quality to it, but I stopped watching & went on to one of the other films in the set because I was put off by how damn CLEAN everything was -- Like they'd just got the props and costumes out of the shipping crate/storage unit.
Ditto the set. Awfully new-looking "fortress" there, folks . . .
In a Post-Apocalyptic world, you will not have access to Detailing and drycleaning, let alone professional set-construction.

I've got that Image Entertainment disk, much better than my old VHS with a full screen, faded print and a sickly green tint to much of the film.

I picked up the 2-disk set in the dump bin more for the other films which I hadn't seen before. Nobody was a nice bonus, rather have that than another copy of some of the spaghetti westerns that usually turn up on cheapo sets. I watched part of this copy, pretty ugly at parts, heavy pixelization on the backgrounds during some parts and very murky colors. Only a few chapters stops, but all of the movies in the group get the same treatment. It appears to be from Direct Source Special Products

I just found that there's a German 4 disc holy crap edition of My Name Is Nobody along with Nobody's the Greatest (haven't seen that one). The two movies take up the first two discs and the other two discs are interviews and documentary stuff from what I can gather (I'm using Babel Fish to translate German text and it gets pretty wacky). If I ever get around to buying a region free DVD player that can convert PAL to NTSC I might have to get it.

Here's a link:

Never seen the sequel either, but my VHS of the first one has credit listings on the box for the second film instead of the first for some reason.

I tried to puzzle out what I could in the link you posted, decided I need to get the cute girl at the video store who speaks German to give me lessons. Between that and the 10-disk Hill & Spencer box set that I followed a link to from that page, I may have to see just what my Apex machine that can reprogrammed to region free is capable of.

There are many DVD players with PAL converters that you can make region free with a simple code you enter from the remote. Many Philips models, such as the DVP642, can easily be converted with a simple code and already have a PAL converter built in. You can get many of these models for under $60.

You can find the codes and other information at http://www.videohelp.com/
