Great Moments in Special Effects: Warriors of the Wasteland

Dating back to the first major film ever- "Birth of a Nation"- producers tried to create some sort of special effects. It started out as simple make-up work (the 'black face' in "Birth") and escalated into full computer-generated characters. Along the way, a lot of people did it horribly, horribly wrong. This is one of them...

Warriors of the Wasteland

The secondary hero of the film- Fred Williamson- is an archer with a very unique set of weaponry. His arrows are explosive-tipped and he puts them to a good use. He blows the crap out of dozens of cult members. The effects used are often laughable. Through the miracle of slow-motion replay, enjoy the cheapness.



Mm mm...that gives a whole new meaning to 'losing your head.' Sorry for the pun. Not really.

Stay tuned for more...
