This movie was the shit when I was a kid....rip offs to you...classics to me....back when cinema wasnt filled with cgi and other horseshit that plagues movies today....h I could find this on dvd.
Oh & p.s- for anyone doing a google_maps streetview- keywordsare: Alexandra Golf Club, Alexandra (on the Alexandra / Clyde section of State Highway 8) or should I say- directly opposite their "entryway"- as that is the "pines" area- where the filmcrew used the TARSEALED road (to film from) as Hunter & the following battlecar- "raced" along the "woods" road .. (within fifty feet of the tarseal and parrallel too) West- for 1/2 mile from Molyneux Park Boundary- ww w(doht)MAPS.google(doht)co(doht)nz
I recognize footage from both Death Race 2000 and Deathsport! Joe Dante was up to his old tricks! Read Roger Corman's auto-bio for hilarious Dante anecdotes about working in the trailer dept at New World Pictures. I am surprised they didn't include their famous "exploding helicopter" shot in this one.
@RotoPlasmX Me too -especially as several of my own family members were EXTRAS - in the 1978 filming of the "originally" entitled... BATTLETRUCK (posibly EVEN more so .. as it was filmed extensively -- within & around our "own" family estate runhold .. which is where the Clearwater village and surrounds were located - within my father's old orchard)
Jeez, people. Get over yourselves. The movie was made in 1982. Not everything is a 100 million dollar movie. Before you kiddies get upset, realize that low-budget films were made before you were born.

@MasterJediDude Translation: This movie sucks, and we're going to pretend that it's because they didn't have the money to make a good movie, and not because it's a shoddily made piece of cinematic sputum with no budget, no acting and a terrible script.
there are some scenes there never in the original movie "batteltruck" from new zealand.

@cutiepie328100 Warriors was 1979, this was 1982, so he was only 3 years older then when he was in Warriors

Why does every shitty '80s movie trailer claim A NEW KIND OF HERO, anyway?

@joiless Because just occasionally they didn't want to say "In a world where..."
