Trivia:

Over half of the film is comprised of stock footage from Romolo Guerrieri's L'ultimo guerriero (1984), including all of Woody Strode's scenes (his character's name is changed from "Sam" to "Warren"). A double is used in new scenes with Gabriele Gori. Margit Evelyn Newton is the only cast member of the 1982 picture to appear in the new footage, and her hairstyle changes at least three times during the film.

Goofs:

Continuity: In the fight scene between Shark and Dakar: Shark put Dakar on the floor and off-screen as Shark exits the door - but in the next cut, Dakar is first out of the room and Shark behind him.

Edited from L'ultimo guerriero (1984)

So ridiculously bad that it could be funny

This is a bad movie. It´s set in a futuristic New York City where cyborgs and humanoids are fighting for food. The main character trains to become the sheriff whose job it is to keep order in the Bronx, and he realizes that he might need some help. Why is it bad? Well, the acting is absolutely terrible (many of the actors if not all of them are dubbed), the directing is really bad. This is a low-budget film, an example to indicate that - in the first scene there is a bit of a massacre where you can see the same person get killed several times. I saw this movie with my friends some years ago, more than once! We thought it was a great laugh! So if you´re looking for a good action/sci-fi-movie, don´t see it!!
