Warriors of the Wasteland, (also known as The New Barbarians), is an Italian 1983 action/sci-fi film starring Giancarlo Prete and Fred Williamson.
It is only notable in the fact that it is a shameless ripoff of Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior.
An Italian ripoff of a famous film? Where else have we run into this, I wonder...?
Plot[]
Gay religious fanatics try to wipe out a bunch of people who live in various quarries in a post-apocalyptic Texas.
Notable Characters[]
The Episode[]
- This episode, like the one that preceded it, was supposed to be a Farva. Unfortunately, it was not nearly as entertaining as James had remembered. Damien was displeased at this revelation.
Scores[]
James - Keelhaul
Damien - Avraf
Highlights[]
- The bit about the year 2000, and how important it was to sci-fi/apocalypse movies in the 70s and 80s and how, despite a contentious US Presidential Election that ended up being decided by Supreme Court, little of historical note and pop culture significance happened in the year 2000.
- The idea that usually in speculative fiction future technology, like they have in real life, devices become smaller, yet not so much in this movie.
- The fact that Dubs referenced Pierre Kirby
- Good Times Basketball
- The hosts trying to discuss a certain scene involving the main character, main villain and the main character's ass

Tiradesverse tropes[]
- Protagonists? - Scorpion, Nadir, and Alma
- Real protagonist - Young Mechanic
- The Future Sucks - The apocalypse happened and everyone lives in generic Mad Max rip-off land
- Box of kittens - All of the Templars
- Bullseye Bullshit - Constantly, but none more egregious than the annoying kid
- Finer Cronies and Goons, Inc. - All the unnamed Templars, which we assume were purchased from the weird, fanatical, religious wing of the store.
- Random sex scene - Two, both squirm-inducing
- Thank You Very Little - The entire Rape-Flex scene
- This fucking scene - See above. Quite literal in this case.
- Scott Evil Has a Point - One only orders Scorpion's execution after the above
- Plot Armor - The Templars leave Alma and her new group alive, despite killing literally everyone else they'd encountered to that point in the film.
- Courtney - Mako
- SYMBOLISM!!! - One's death, Father Moses
- EXTREME CLOSE-UPS
- Instant Love - Scorpion and Alma have known each other for like 13 minutes, the latter having just been rescued from certain death, and they fuck inside his ridiculous muscle car
- Killing Your Own Guys - One kills one of his own Templars for literally no reason
