Three women make an emergency landing on a planet plagued with a fatal disease, but are captured by dictator Overdog. Adventurer Wolff goes there to rescue them and meets Niki, the only Earthling left from a medical expedition. Combining their talents, they try to rescue the women. Wolfe's large jeep like vehicle was used as Kitt's nemisis for an 2 part episode of Knight Ridder in Season 4 called "Knight of the Juggernaut". It was modified with a battering ram and larger tires. The episode took place in Chicago in late 1985.<br/><br/>"Michael and K.I.T.T.'s latest assignment, to guard a volatile new isotope in Chicago, looks as if it could be their last, when the late Wilton Knight's daughter Jennifer plans to shut down their division of FLAG, and suspends Michael. But meanwhile, international terrorist Phillip Nordstrom kidnaps Devon, and uses hi-tech laser surgery on a criminal to create an impostor, as part of Nordstrom's plot to get his hands on the valuable isotope. Even though suspended, Michael becomes suspicious of (the impostor) Devon's behaviour and investigates but Nordstrom plans to get rid of their interference, coating K.I.T.T. in a chemical to break down his molecular amour coating, before turning loose "The Juggernaut" a deadly mobile battering ram… " Been waiting for this for a long time - as cult classics go it's one of my more memorable adolescent reminiscences.<br/><br/>I remember seeing this on the big screen when it was first released. Loved it then, for several reasons: Strauss was capable but cool as the hero Wolf, Molly Ringwald was feisty, mouthy and cheeky as the elfin Nikki, and Michael Ironsides was virtually unrecognisable under his make-up, but still gave Overdog a sinister air of menace and cruelty.<br/><br/>Now, 20 years later, I get to see it again, and there are flaws that time has exposed. The effects and the music are very dated. The dialogue is weak in places, and the acting from the minor characters leaves something to be desired. However, it still has a sense of excitement and adventure that many other sci-fi flicks of the 80s now lack. The action is fast-paced, the interaction between the leads is good, and the scenery is suitably dark and barren.<br/><br/>7/10 - it's well worth overlooking the more dated elements in order to uncover the gem underneath.
Thanks for sharing this Spacehunter: Adventures In The Forbidden Zone movie. Spacehunter is a film I saw as a child. This is a really interesting film. It's a space-mutant movie. The storyline and the graphics and all are really amazing to watch. CBD Oil Health Benefits
