Trivia
Shot in Atlanta (GA) at the same time as Chuck Norris' Invasion U.S.A. (1985). Several of the exterior locations were shared, as were some of the stunt men. They would work on "The Annihilators" during the day and then go over and work on "Invasion USA" at night.

Goofs
Although during the movie there are shootouts, we never see bullet holes, most notably in the red panel van.

Alternate versions
In the UK, to achieve an 18 rating, two seconds of footage was removed. The cuts were required to remove an instance of sexualized violence (sight of a bare-breasted woman being stabbed).

Connections
Featured in Trailer Trauma (2016)

The funniest action flick of the '80s!

This is one of those movies that has the big apocalyptic background with 3 or 4 dudes sitting in the fore front with there machine guns at bay posing with arms the size of tree trunks. But of course this is only the cover art for the box and it just happens to be a painting. What you really get when you open up the box and stick it in the VCR is a cheesey unintended comedy! A friend and myself have even set up a web site for this movie due to its humurous content we felt we had to. One of my favorite lines from this movie: "These punks are finally doing something that you police should have been doing a long time ago... killing each other off!". WOOHOO! wasn't that a funny. You gotta hand it to Bob Summers (the composer) for making one of the most sterile/period scores that ever graced an optical strip or video for that matter. A timeless movie for the ill in the head. BUY IT & LAUGH!
