Just riding on Peterx's coat tails here; what is your favorite post-apoc film and why? I haven't actually thought about my own answer yet, but a couple favs include Fury Road for its intense, well-edited, non-CGI action, as well as for treating the baddies like human beings instead of as faceless minions. I also enjoyed Bounty Killers for some B-movie fun:

As above, Threads. Deeply disturbing and any film which has traffic wardens armed with SLRs has to be good. But really, there are so many to choose from, it being a popular subject back in the Cold War and all… a few more The Omega Man
Planet of the Apes
The Day the Earth Caught Fire
The Forbidden Plant (who said it had to be on earth)
Mad Max II
The War Game (Peter Watkins one, not the other one) |

Gota be Escape from New York with the one and only Snake Pliskin (the original one if there is a remake its bound to be junk), yes I know the USA still sorta works (Like a backwards version of Cuba eh:) and there is a World War with nuclear weapons being used, but its still a cool end of times setting.
Cheers and go Snake |

Threads – 1984
The Road – 2009 Both very disturbing, but very realistic. The Road was vague as to the exact nature of the exact event that caused the meltdown of society. But both worth watching. |
| doug redshirt | 20 Jul 2015 10:29 a.m. PST |
Fury Road still the best movie of the year so far. And Planet of the Apes with Chuck. |

Threads was the more disturbing British nuclear war movie from the 80's. The U.S. had the more sanitized The Day After. |

I do not remember the name but it was about two kids who grew up in a bomb shelter and read LOTS of detective comics. When they exit the shelter as adults they are dressed like 1930's detectives and tell everyone they are dicks – and are nearly eaten by cannibals right way. I think the fallout videogame borrowed some of the plot… |

My favorite is probably "After The Fall Of New York".
But I have something like 200 of these movies on VHS, so it's hard to pick just one. Dynaman, the movie your talking about was "Radioactive Dreams" with Michael Dudikoff and John Stockwell.
Watched that one about two or three weeks ago. |

I like the most of them and most of the ones mention
Some more real, like "the Road" and "the Day" and other silly but I still like them "Omega Doom" and "Bounty hunter"
@evilcartoonist I did a Mary Death figure a little while back

? I saw a film a million years ago that had the hero cutting through a butch shop that sold people, hanging from the ceiling was a cowboy and instead of helping him he left him there but but his hat back on. I doubt it but does anyone remember it and know the name. Thanks in advance |

The Road Hell (In the not too distant future, people struggle to survive their greatest enemy, the sun.) Yes they are both more recent, and yes Hell is no where near the best, but it is a good one for those into the theme that havent seen it. |
