A Film I can't Name from A Year I Can't Remember-Please Help

[leeapole]

Hi Guys,<br />I can't think of a better place to ask this question and im counting on one of you to know the answer!<br /><br />After a long chat at work (took more time than the work itself!) about movies we watched as kids/teens i came up with one i cant name or place a year on, please remember im 28 now and was about 8 at the time, give or take a few years! Could be from around 1980 - 1990 my mum was cool and let me watch way too much stuff i shouldn't have!<br /><br />Goes something like this, think of Mad Max beyond the thunder dome, industrial looking post apocalyptic dust and stuff, rags and leather!<br /><br />At this point memory fails me!<br /><br />It ends with (I think) A man and women running through a caged tunnel surrounded by chanting mad post apocalyptic men in rags and leather! Again!<br /><br />And chasing them is the most ugly white faced freaky thing, it has a mans face but is on big black robotic legs like a spider and i think black claws. From what i can remember it ends up in some kind of arena!<br /><br />Hope it sparks a neuron with someone!!??<br /><br />Any info would be great,<br /><br />Thanx<br /><br />LeeApole<br /><br />

hmmm... I have no idea.<br /><br />You could also ask here -- /> http://www.imdb.com/boards/<br /><br />On their I Need To Know, Horror or Science Fiction boards, they usually answer pretty quickly and, trust me, someone there knows.<br /><br />Post the answer when you know it, I would also like to know <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" />

could it be two movies you're thinking of, somehow mixed together?<br />I'd like to say Running Man, (with Arnie), but that was not post apocalyptic. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>http://asteroid-invasion.blogspot.com</p><p>http://www.solvengineer.com/asteroid-invasion.html </p><p> </p> </div>

I remember the movie but not the title. Mutants living underground also eat people. And I think two main heroes leave their high-technology city for some reason and end up in those wastes.

Is Jean-Claude Van Damme in it? He's trying to save a girl from mercenaries or something?<br /><br />???<br />

I don't have a clue, but I'm wanting to see it now, just from the description. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

It reminds me of the recent remake of the "Time Machine" <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <em><font size="2">Bob DeWoody</font></em> </div>

That might be on the right track. There were simalar scenes throughout all of the "Time Machines" <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080"><em><font color="#000000">But the Krell forgot one thing John.

Hey guys,<br /><br />First off i'll go with what i know and tell you what it isn't.<br /><br />Its not Running Man, seen it too many times.<br /><br />No Jean-Claude Van Damme, ive seen most of his stuff and dont think he was even about around the time im looking at.<br /><br />Seen both Time Machine movies and it aint them.<br /><br />Joining www.imdb.com/boards/ as we speak so might get some luck there.<br /><br />http://www.volumen.net/apoc/ will be next on my list.<br /><br />If you just go with Madmax and forget post apocalyptic BUT go with the white faced skull robot spider thing, we might get closer, as its the main thing i remember!<br /><br />Pioneer0333 if i ever figure it out i'll let you and everyone else know,<br /><br />Thanks for help so far guys keep it up, maybe we'll suss it soon<br /><br />LeeApole.<br /><br />

Also, for some reason I think that couple that end up in the wastes are looking for father of the girl or the story has something to do with father.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086346/<br /><br />imdb link to 1983 movie"Spacehunter: adventures in the Forbidden Zone"<br /><br />

 

[wmdragon]

that's precisely the movie I was thinking about. I think that is it.<br /><br />was there a scene in which the couple comes across an adandoned factory, which turns out to be the lair of a bunch of slimy, deformedly obese humanoids? <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><font color="#993366"><em>The only laws of matter are those which our minds must fabricate, and the only laws of mind are fabricated for it by matter.</em> <br /> --- James Clerk Maxwell</font></p> </div>
