Oh good Lord ... RATS and WHEELS OF FIRE
2 movies I can't be bothered to write about.
RATS (Mattei, 1984) was boring and stupid and I felt sorry for the rats.
WOF (Santiago, 1985) was a transparent imitation of THE ROAD WARRIOR with nary a single original idea in its empty head, and if you told me it was comprised entirely of B-roll footage from ROAD WARRIOR itself that was rejected for being boring, I'd believe you. I think the female lead's topless screen time greatly outweighs her clothed appearances, and the film feels mean and misogynistic as a result. I did, however, like the final stunt. But in a movie comprised entirely of "action scenes" and stunts (and topless victimization), that's not saying too much.
