Raiders of Atlantis

AKA Atlantis Inferno, The Atlantis Interceptors, Atlantis



1983, Directed by Ruggero Deodato


This whole film looks like a bad eighties music video. Adam and the Ants do Mad Max.

So… Some guys find a lost island full of punk types. An evil chap puts on a stupid transparent plastic skull mask. A lot of shooting and explosions occur. A sphinx statue shoots lasers from it’s eyes, the plastic skull mask is smashed, and they find a young woman sitting in an early Doctor Who set. Then they drive off in a bus and escape in a helicopter. Hasn’t the trailer shown us the whole film in a heavily condensed form?

Favourite bit: Near the end, where some twit rides his bike off a jetty on purpose.
