Better than "Escape from New York"

Just as "The Road Warrior" did, "Escape from New York" inspired several Italian rip-offs. This is the only one that surpasses the original. We have a super-groovy post-apocalyptic New York full of the best of cheesy mutants and rat-eating babes in filmdom. The film is even cool artistically, Picasso's Guernica makes an appearance in the Nazi villain's office, before one of the heroes digs his eyes out with his mechanical arm. The ray guns from Barberella make an appearance. There are bikers (enough said about that). And the explosions, gore, and action all surpass those from the original film. "Escape from New York," climaxed with a chase along a mined bridge; "After the Fall of New York" has a chase through an all the more lethal mined tunnel. It's just too cool. Reggie loves it.
