After the Fall of New York: Michael Sopkiw is the next Clint Eastwood

After the Fall of New York

Purchased off of Ebay around the year 2000

This is one of the oldest, if not the oldest VHS that was in my collection.  I purchased it off of Ebay when I was in either middle school or early high school during a phase which I obsessed  over movies like Escape from New York, and Mad Max.  As the title suggests,  After the Fall of New York (1983) is a blatant ripoff of the most poplar  post-apocalyptic films of the time.
     One of my favorite things about this VHS is that on the box (wich seems to no longer be in my possession) was a really silly review which reads "Michael Sopkiw is the best action hero since Clint Eastwood" ahahahahahahaha, golden.  Allot of these Italian productions have really great cover and promotional artwork, often having nothing to do with the action in the film.
  The film itself revolves around the search and rescue/capture of earths last fertile woman.  It's a little unclear how without much of a central government, or anybody else running the show, how the last fertile woman can be pinpointed.  However, if you are trying to analyze this movies plot points, you're watching the wrong movie.  This flick is pure silliness through and through, and isn't really trying to be much more.
  One of my favorite parts of After the Fall of New York, is the introduction to the main character where he is involved in a demolition derby a la' Death Race 2000 style.  Another favorite detail of mine are the costumes, truly over the top and ridiculous.
   If you like Italian Explotation, also check out Escape From The Bronx (bet you can't guess what movie it rips off!).
