DARK A K ITS VERY UNIQUE I WATCHED IT NEAR ITS TIME SO THERE WAS NOTHING LIKE IT IN MY COUNTRY SINCE MAD MAX WAS BANNED IF YOU LIKE FALLOUT GAMES YOU WILL ENJOY THIS Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Another stellar post-apocalyptic Italian film that brings out many of the genre's heavy hitters including Al Cliver and George Eastman. A couple deadly game show contestants deliver a band of telepathic mutants to safety out of a crumbling city. Remarkable entry that proves this formula never gets tiresome. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member TV's deadly Endgame points leader Ron Shannon (undefeated in 22 matches!) risks confiscation of personal property among other things to help telepathic mutants escape outside the city limits. "The Running Man" borrows heavily from the first half hour of this. Cool ending, I'd like to know who came out on top between Shannon and arch rival Karnak. Among the best of Italian post nuclear films.

Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Directed by Joe D'Amato and staring Al Cliver, George Eastman, Al Yamanouchi and Gordon Mitchell Erin rating: VHS R15 Likely made during the major hype when all these kinds of films were huge at the time and I am of course talking about Post-apocalyptic films there is like a million of them yet Endgame is the least known. I only know about this movie is because we still have a VHS of it I looked and there are no DVDs yet so score one for me over that Netflix thing. [IMG]http://i54.tinypic.com/s3iwkj.jpg[/IMG] Al Cliver stars as Ron a veteran who is working on a TV show called Endgame in the future in which hunters battle it out to be the last one standing or kill all on screen mutants. He lives in a world were war has destroyed everything and like Meany of lives in NYC were people struggling to survive or go on Endgame. Ron is then contracted to take a group of people into the wasteland but he doesn't know that the entire people that run Endgame want him dead so the show is shifted so that people can watch him die. Its low budget around about 1 million in my guess point less scenes of violence and stunts then again it makes a very interesting story. 80% for story: It's very pointless all they need to do is cross the wasteland yet very pointless scenes of acts of murder, fights, Car chases, Mutants, Samurai's, just really all the stuff you wouldn't normally see. 60% for acting: It's really hard not to love Al Cliver (Zombi 2 and the Beyond) and his performance along with George Eastman (After the fall of New York and the Anthropophagus Beast) but that's truly about it. 100% for special effects: They are pored into making the violence and the Cars and my states are. (1) Over 193 people died in this movie (I lost count more did then that) (2) There are over 50 modified cars and Bikes (3) Over 1000 people wearing that short of clothes you would find out the (4) Over 40 crash there cars and destroy them. Truly the highlight of the movie. 70% for characters: Again it's impossible to hate Al Clivers Character he just that awesome, he's the only reason I like zombie. And as for everyone else there okay. 80% for everything else: It has that real western feel to it and over everything is really solid. [IMG]http://i54.tinypic.com/4v5n4o.jpg[/IMG] I think that's it a movie that is easily worth checking out if you can find a VHS. Keiko's score 84-100 Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member So in the wake of the road warrior gene starting with Mad max 2 (the road warrior) the Italians were the first to start copying it and the first movie they brought out was 2019 after the fall of New York. 2019 was always the one with the biggest budget out of all the Italian post apocalyptic films I would have to say from sources around 7-8 million dollars. 2019 made around about 18 million worldwide. Then Joe D’Amato’s ENDGAME were a future after WW3 has left society ruined. New York city is a hellhole were people struggle to survive people usually tune into a show called Endgame were people fight to the death over a little bit of money. In the year 2025, a horrible nuclear holocaust during World War III has left New York City, among others, irradiated and decrepit, but not abandoned. The city, now a poverty-stricken hellhole, is inhabited by brutish packs of scavengers and telepathically-linked mutants, who are violently persecuted by a prejudiced élite. Keeping the people at bay is a reality television program called ENDGAME, where hunters and gladiators fight to the death. The film tells the story of Endgame veteran Ron Shannon, as he assembles a team to take a group of mutants, led by Lilith, to escape to safety through the desert, avoiding such dangers as blind yet deadly monks, nomadic predators, machine gun-sporting government agents from New York, and Shannon's former-friend-turned-nemesis Karnak. Well of course in an Italian post-apocalyptic film your going to see Modified cars, fierce fights to the death, Raiders, Mutants, and George Eastman. Now the story is okay but it has everything you would like to see in a film like this. Well the acting is okay but there was a lot of dubbing involved for the Italian actors still okay. I always like Al cliver I thought he did well in this. Well designs for the sets and what not are kind of a let down normally you are suppose to see a wasteland but I think Joe D’Amato tried to make it look like a western as well has a Post-apocalyptic film. The special effects are good lots of explosions and random acts of murder to keep you entertained. Here are some facts I found (Well not Meany) Out of all the film Joe D’ Amato made he like this one the most. (He made more then 150 films) Shot on a budget of only 1 million. But overall I can say my final verdict is recommended but if you have to see any Italian Post-apocalyptic film see 2019 after the fall of New York that’s always been my favorite.
