A time: 150 years into the future.
The place :Earth
Earth ravaged by wars in a world gone mad. Mankind returning to the dark ages on a barren planet, resorting to brute force and killer instinct for survival.
Massive Shoulderpads
Laser beams shooting out of peoples eyes!
Radioactive mutant cultists with ray-guns!
Amazonian warrior women concealing super high-technology and not looking a bit like Toyah at all.
Even more massive shoulderpads!
Immortal Kamikaze Kabuki Pygmies
Pot smoking, two-gun slinging Commisar mofos
Return of the Immortal Kamikaze Kabuki Pygmies
Searchers of the Voodoo Mountain Trailer:
"Watch Searchers of the Voodoo Mountain and you'll be looking into a Dark Future for mankind".
Searchers of the Voodoo Mountain VHS box artwork:
Whaddya mean the lead girl is a brunette? Blondes sell more VHS
So do gold bikinis.
OPERATION OVERKILL
Trans. "They Search for Paradise and Find a Hell!"
Searchers of the Voodoo Mountain
WARNING: actual movie contains 100% less Boris Vallejo than this VHS cover
Searchers of the Voodoo Mountain, as Warriors of the Apocalypse is also available on DVD from CULT ACTION. Lengthly and entertaining review by Keith here.
Like Whiskey P., I don't understand how i missed this gem.
But after watching the trailer, it looks to me like Julian Assange escaped from the Embassy to co-star in this film. Do the Swedes know he's on the loose, and may now be able to kill people with his eyes. "Fy! We've only made him stronger!"
