An Italian ''[[Mad Max]]'' wannabe film. Despite the title, there is no [[Lost World]] in this movie, though it may be some kind of metaphor for the [[After the End|post-apocalyptic world]].
Line 19 ⟶ 18:
Thus The New Way (as they're calling it now) casts off the oppression of The Omega, and both the ''Paper Chase'' Guy and Einstein are fine. However, this movie has a [[Stinger]], possibly intended as a [[Sequel Hook]]: Prossor isn't dead either; that was a robotic clone Nastasia shot. Prossor and his henchman {{spoiler|(The black guy in the Nazi uniform)}} escape to parts unknown. The ''Paper Chase'' Guy does likewise.
For the ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'' version, please go to the [[Mystery Science Theater 3000

* [[After the End]]: Apparently the world was destroyed by "The Unclear War Has Been Forgot!"
* [[Asskicking Equals Authority]]: The Paper Chase Guy has to defeat the leaders of several Gangs of Hats for them to accept him as leader and become his [[Ragtag Bunch of Misfits]] so he can [[Storming the Castle|Storm The Castle]].
Line 32 ⟶ 31:
* [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: Nastasia.
* [[But Now I Must Go]]
{{quote|
'''Nastasia:''' I'm not sad that you're leaving... I know you must. }}
* [[California Doubling]]: The movie supposedly takes place in post-apocalyptic California, despite being filmed in Italy. Those familiar with Rome might recognize the Omega headquarters and campus as the infamous Corviale, a kilometer-long public housing project in the outskirts of Rome.
* [[Canned Orders Over Loudspeaker]]: Delivered by Donald Pleasance himself.
* [[Car Chase]]: Several. And a helicopter chase, too.
Line 41 ⟶ 40:
* [[Cool Bike]]: "Einstein" the "Supersonic Speedcycle".
* [[Cool Car]]: Megaweapon.
* [[Crystal Spires and Togas]]: Although we see only the togas. On really old people.
* [[Dull Surprise]]: Most of the time, our Hero appears to be half-asleep, even when he's attempting to be a [[Badass Biker]]. Prosser, as well is Donald Pleasance perpetually on cruise control.
* [[Emphasize Everything]]: The [[Opening Scroll]].
Line 48 ⟶ 47:
* [[Expendable Clone]]: Prossor has one.
* [[Follow the Leader]]: Yet another Italian knock-off of a then popular genre; in this case, ''[[Mad Max]]''.
* [[Hey,
** Oh, and {{spoiler|Robert Ginty}}, a.k.a. Thomas Craig Anderson from ''[[The Paper Chase]]''.
** [[Puma Man|Donald Pleasance]]
Line 59 ⟶ 58:
* [[Made of Explodium]]: Many cars explode when forced off the road and/or over cliffs, usually for no discernible reason. This also applies to Megaweapon:
* [[No Name Given]]: The hero, a.k.a. "The ''Paper Chase'' Guy"
** [[
** Similarly, Fred Williamson's character is never named, and is simply christened "[[The Mole|Henchman]]" by [[
* [[The Omniscient Council of Vagueness]]: The Elders in togas.
* [[One
* [[Only a Flesh Wound]]: Paper Chase Guy gets shot in each shoulder over the course of the movie, and Nastasia gets shot in the leg. All these wounds only bleed slightly, and apparently have no long-term consequences. This may appear to be [[Justified Trope|Justified]] by the fact that a group of psychic healers exists, but the characters weren't anywhere near them when they were shot.
* [[Opening Scroll]]: See above.
