by CharlesHarrisonWorld Gone Wild is a perfect piece of Eighties sci-fi pie. In fact, it’s one of my favorites, and you’re already wrong for not feeling the same way. What? You’ve never even heard of it? Don’t worry, I expect to convert you all into rabid fans by the end.
In the Eighties, we got a bunch of Star Wars copycats and wannabes, like Battle Beyond the Stars and Krull, and they all have the same story. There’s a bad guy who invades, good guys who can’t stop him, the good guys need help to stop the bad guys, and so they call in some questionable characters. These movies are mostly about obtaining that help from a bunch of miscreants who live in the gray area between saint and sinner. Then you have another Eighties trope, the post-nuclear apocalyptic future with Mad Max as it’s Han Solo type anti-hero, and no actual hero anywhere in sight. From there, we had a bunch of knock-offs, like Warrior in a Lost World where talking motorcycles and cars with spikes fill a dying world of mutants and 80s inspired punk fashionistas. It may not be the future mankind wants, but this is the future mankind actually deserves, not like in Star Trek where nerds get laid and inherit the Earth.
