One of The Most Shameless Rip-Offs Of The 80s!

Thank you Helix Sleep for sponsoring this week's video! Visit https://helixsleep.com/horrorgeek to take advantage of their Cyber Monday Sale Extended and get 20% Off Sitewide! In the 1980s, Italian exploitation cinema perfected the art of the shameless rip-off, and Atlantis Interceptors (aka Raiders of Atlantis) might be their chaotic masterpiece. This is the legendary B-movie that took the post-apocalyptic grit of Mad Max, the commando action of Escape from New York, and the lost city of Atlantis, threw them all into a cinematic blender, and—for good measure—added a squad of bizarre biker punks for good measure. We dive deep into this glorious, absurd mess to analyze how a film that copied everything managed to create its own unique, unforgettable legacy and earn its spot as The Most Shameless Rip-Off Of The '80s.
