This is actually a good film, don't let the dodge music fool you. It may have a weird plot about relic hunting and saving the world, but it has good action sequences and a young Robert Patrick who is pretty cute, and features throughout the film. This is certainly a good role for a first timer in a movie (yes his first role ever), he has so much energy and charisma. The fights scenes are quite well done on such a low budget, 'Patrick' does it realistically with vigour. It may be cheesy when it comes to plot and music but it's the 80s. I would have certainly been entertained in the 80s, it is reminiscent of other classic 80s adventure/action films, you'll see what I mean. If they had tinsy bigger budget and better recording equipment this would have been box office magic. But I believe the film would have done well if more people had bothered to see it. The film has only aged because it has been overlooked. But it's a little gem for Robert Patrick fans- I watched this all the way through with a delighted grin on my face hence the high-ish rating.

Cheerfully plumbing depths of giddy stupidity with a certain infectious go-for-it wacky aplomb, this is by no means a good movie, but it sure is a highly entertaining and often unintentionally sidesplitting piece of energetic kitsch. Tough Mad Max clone Matthew (Richard Norton in peak two-fisted form) discovers the location of the Spear of Destiny -- it's the Roman spear that was used on Christ during his crucifixion -- in the bleak apocalyptic world of 2025. Matthew travels back to 1986 and gives the spear to Michelle (foxy blonde Linda Carol) and her boyfriend Slade (Robert Patrick in his pre-"Terminator 2" Grade Z dreck salad days). It's up to our young couple to make sure that the spear doesn't fall into the wrong evil hands. Director Cirio H. Santiago, working from a blithely inane script by J. Lee Thompson, keeps the pace racing along at a constant speedy clip and treats the ridiculous premise with gut-busting misguided seriousness, thereby ensuring that this honey is a total tacky hoot from start to finish. Better still, Santiago and Thompson cram this baby with all kinds of deliciously absurd lunacy: We've got a nasty biker gang, wild car chases (keep your eyes peeled for an incredible day for night continuity error during one particular chase), fierce karate fights, solemn opening narration by a third-rate Orson Welles clone, a tribe of helpful cave-dwelling dwarfs, nefarious Nazi bad guys (Ed Crick hams it up outrageously as the leader of the Nazis), lots of stuff blowing up real good, cruddy (not so) special effects, and even a group of fearsome Amazon warrior women. Extra kudos are also in order for the extremely bouncy pulse-pounding score by Ron Jones and a smidgen of tasty gratuitous female nudity courtesy of the yummy Mrs. Carol. A real schlocky blast.

It is hard to explain what was going through the director's mind when making a classic such as Future Hunters, but I have to admit it was pure genius because not only was this film amazingly a classic, but it had midgets, a big oaf nazi, and the best a night to day chase. I give this movie a A+, and want to thank Joe Bob for playing such a classic film, and keep on playing more like it.So if you haven't seen this movie really consider checking it out, it's a movie with so many bizarre twists and plot jumps, and not to mention characters coming out of nowhere, and a group of dwarfs beating a nazi soldier to death, so rent it or just better off buying it.

This movie is a mix of Kung-fu movies. Rambo,Raiders and other influences? the plot is about a Sword from the future and it must get to some tribe of Amazonian Women to make everything ok. I watched this movie and tried to figure out why i was watching it.
