About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a scrappy, retro post-apocalyptic romp with BMX action, cheeky humor, and intentionally cheesy, very gory mayhem; Not for you if you dislike heavy gore or low-budget B-movie vibes like a rougher Alita: Battle Angel.
Pros: nostalgic 80s throwback; goofy high-energy fun; memorable over-the-top gore | Cons: cheap look at times; cringey dialogue; tropey character writing
