Warring factions fight over possession of the Equalizer 2000, which is a super duper lethal machine gun that can better guarantee the survival of anyone who owns it in a harsh post-apocalyptic world.
Filipino exploitation cinema titan Cirio H. Santiago once again makes nice use of arid and godforsaken desert landscapes, stages the rousing action with rip-roaring all-out gusto, keeps the entertaining story hurtling along at a snappy pace, and blows loads of stuff up real good (naturally!). The solid acting from the game cast keeps this movie humming: The extremely buff Richard Norton cuts an imposing figure as two-fisted bruiser Slade, the buxom and gorgeous Corinne Wahl adds plenty of spunk as the feisty Karen (Wahl also totally rocks a pair of skintight leather pants), Robert Patrick contributes a nicely slimy turn as no-count scumbag Deke, William Steis registers well as ruthless lead baddie Lawton, and the ubiquitous Vic Diaz has a neat small role as weary old man Bone. Ding Achacoso's funky syncopated score does the right-on groovy trick. A fun B-flick.
