Quotes
[the Templars have captured Scorpion and has him tied up]

[holds up a glass dagger]
One: I, One, am the high priest and executor... of your initiation!
[tears off Scorpion's pants with the dagger and proceeds to rape him]

Alternate versions
Contrary to popular belief, the film was never cut by the BBFC for either cinema or video. However, the video was slightly edited by the distributors before submission, and toned down the rape of Scorpion by One. The Vipco release is the full version, and released in widescreen.

Ouch!

OK. First of all this movie is one of the better B-movies I have seen for awhile. It is a cheap Italian knockoff of "Road Warrior". However, Mel Gibson has been replaced by a major phuckin ham of an actor and Fred Williamson is hilarious. The outfits are utterly retarded, especially those of the bad guys. Was I supposed to be scared of these guys? They dress like rejects from an Andrew Lloyd Weber show and their vehicles are golf carts covered in aluminum foil. Plus there must be some Weirdo,Italian thing going on that I don't understand. Why are the bad guys all Puritan, vigilante homosexuals? One of the more entertaining scenes is one our hero is captured and boned in the rump as initiation for execution, mainly because it is the weakest cinematographic displays of the movie. For a B-movie, this film has just about everything:Bad special effects, bad acting, lame plot, weak characters, crappy dialogue, Casio keyboard soundtrack, Fred Williamson, and way too many cliches. Rent it, get some cheap beer, and watch it with some friends for a good laugh.
