Road Wars

Road Wars

Road Wars was released to DVD a mere 10 days after Fury Road, which would provide the competition. A lonely man encounters a new community in a post-apocalyptic frenzy and gets into pedal to the metal and shouts over wasteland lunatics’ modified cars. Not only does this film’s version of Max Cole Parker also get to drive a car, he does get to drive the V8 Interceptor from the film.

Road Wars is supposed to be a Max Max caper but all the scenes have been pasted in poorly with vampires. In short, it is Mad Max meets I Am Legend the original book by Richard Matheson about vampires besieging the last man on Earth, not the vultures film versions The Omega Man or I Am Legend.

Road Wars is quite a typical fodder for The Asylum. It has been made on the low. Where George Miller went to shoot in Namibia, this has just been filmed in a California desert instead. The various action sequences come cheap, so do the car chases, which do not come close to what Miller was doing with his energetic and urban like action scenes. Road Warriors is not as bad film as some of the other films The Asylum has made. It at least keeps the viewer interested for a certain time, in which there are also some decent acting performances from Chloe Farnworth and John Freeman.

With the exception of the last point where [PLOT SPOILERS] Cole Parker was at the end presented as a Daywalker, which is a mutant vampire who is able to survive in the daylight, I had no problems with the film. This appears to be a puzzling rationalization, especially since there is every indication that Cole has no thirst for blood at any point throughout and seems to be in the same muddle as the other characters about the scenario.

It is also not very evident how he has turned to be one in the first instance as all the flashback clips shown is of his girlfriend decamping her jaw over him and I do not see (or it is never explained) how this transforms him into Daywalker.
