gavin6942 A nomad mercenary (Robert Ginty) on a high-tech motorcycle helps bring about the downfall of the evil Orwellian government, the Omega.It seems popular to give this film a 1 or 2, and I can certainly understand why. As a "Mad Max" ripoff, it is not a very good one. And even the director claims he was hired on without a script or anything for source material besides a poster.But there is some fun here, and I think with a few changes this might be a decent film. Maybe. Maybe not. But, first and foremost, the motorcycle computer is obnoxious. Remove or modify that and you already have an improvement... Perhaps a remake could actually make this a lovable cult film?

geminiredblue Whew, what a bad movie! Clearly, Italian cinema was going through a Mad Max rip-off phase, and this is probably the worst of the bunch. The movie opens and closes with a visual technique borrowed (or perhaps stolen) from HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER. Immediately after the lone Warrior rides his motorcycle into focus, we're subjected to 90 minutes of some pretty wooden acting on the part of Robert Ginty. Perhaps the director told him to play his part like Clint Eastwood, but half of the time I couldn't understand what Ginty was saying. Dear old Clint made a career out of his famous sneer and grizzled, growling whisper of a voice. Unfortunately, with Ginty it doesn't work. Instead, most of the time he comes across sounding like a whiny little pipsqueak. Equally excruciating is his talking (yes, talking) motorcycle named Einstein. The barely-perceptible story hinges on the Warrior getting involved in some sort of revolutionary movement and doing spectacular motorcycle stunts. All while blandly pursuing and rescuing the daughter of the movement's Jimmy Carter-esque leader. What's astoundingly awful is that there are actual stars: Donald Pleasance, Fred Williamson, and Persis Khambatta (from STAR TREK fame.) However, even they can't save this fiasco. The best way to enjoy this film is with the MST3K guys. However, if you don't have a copy of their episode, get a DVD if you can find it and gather your own brood of funny pals. Remember, it's okay to drink while Ginty is driving!

jerome_horwitz Warrior stars Robert Ginty as The Rider, and Persis Khambatta as Nastasia. Persis is best known for her role as Ilia in Star Trek: The Motion Picture. She is very beautiful, it's really unfortunate this was about the best level of movie productions she was a part of.Warrior is a dystopian tale of a future that has roots from many stories. While the movie bears very little resemblance to great films like 1984, there are parts of the story that are similar. As well you'll see elements of Mad Max series as well.The movie starts with the The Rider being chased by the suppressive government, the Omega. Of course he defeats his foes, only to get away from one group of enemies to run into some "dorks" or "dickheads", as his motorcycle's on board computer refers to them. While escaping them, somehow he runs into a mountain and blows up his motorcycle, apparently injuring himself, or maybe even killing himself accidentally? Well, this is one of the parts that really doesn't makes sense.Next we find him in a ghostly, smoggy room with some weird characters. They shine lights from their hands and heal his wounds. There's only one thing, a deal of which he has no choice, is forced upon him to help rescue Nastasia's father from the Omega. It's that, or apparently she will just kill him again! From this point, the story continues on to develop in the typical fashion, which isn't necessarily bad. While rescuing Nastasia's father, of course she is captured and so on. There is one plot twist in the end which wasn't entirely predictable.Unfortunately, this movie has fairly low production values. Mega-Weapon isn't anything but a dump truck. The sounds that most thing makes are strange, weird, and of poor quality. For example, spiders literally squeal like mice. Actually they squeak more like tribbles, a movie connection, hhhuuhh?! Guns and helicopters make some strange sound, like whipping butter or something. The sound is also poorly recorded, and it can be difficult even to hear what The Rider is saying at times.There are a couple redeeming values. The acting isn't horrible. The story is decent. There are a lot of real stunts, such as crashing vehicles and jumping motorcycles. It's really a shame this movie was that close to being a good movie. 2/10 (maybe a 2.5)

egnerj Alright, here's how my experience with this movie went, my brother bought a copy on VHS and we watched it. And I almost died of laughter. Some people would say, "hey, if it's that pitifully funny, why not give it a bad rating?" but the thing is, it was so ungodly entertaining, that I couldn't give it possibly anything less than a nine, and the fact that it has the best theme music ever, coupled with the run time on the box being wrong, and another excellent performance by Donald Pleaeance, it was just too good to be true. So basically, go find this movie, I haven't seen the MST3k version, but would like to, it doesn't matter, all I know is that the original is a true wonder to behold.
