Back in the 80’s foreign territories were pumping out post-apocalyptic flicks with reckless abandon, and as a result we got a ton of movies that were basically all the same… action-packed and unintentionally funny as hell!
Enter Stryker, which will be hitting Blu-ray on January 3rd courtesy of Kino Lorber. Cirio H. Santiago directs the flick, which stars Steve Sandor, Andrea Savio, William Ostrander, Julie Gray, Monique St. Pierre, and Mike Lane.
Stryker was the first of seven Santiago (TNT Jackson, Firecracker) “post-apocalyptic” action films, followed by Wheels of Fire (1985), Future Hunters (1986), Equalizer 2000 (1987), The Sisterhood (1988), Dune Warriors (1991), and Riders of the Sun (1992). All were produced by Roger Corman’s (Tales of Terror, Premature Burial) film studios, New World Pictures, Concorde Pictures, and New Horizons Pictures.
Synopsis:
In the future, after the last breakdown of technology – there’s debris everywhere, but the most devastating consequence of the state of the “post-apocalyptic” world is the shortage of water. Several groups of marauders, men who have banded together for survival on the parched planet, battle each other in raids for water. In the midst of these savages is a group of brave and beautiful women who have made the most important discovery in the world – they have located a water source, but soon their source is exposed and the band of savages is determined to take over the water supply at any cost – the women turn to lone road warrior Stryker (Steve Sandor, Fire and Ice) for help.
