World Gone Wild is one of those many Mad Max clones produced in the 80s after the success of George Millers first strike, but don't get me wrong, if you want a well written story and some excellence regarding cinematic techniques, or top notch special effects and stunts, World Gone Wild is for sure no movie for you - Mad Max just plays in another league quality wise. But for the right audience (like me) World Gone Wild is fun trash. So what do you get? Besides some action and explosions, the world of World Gone Wild is filled with crazy people and lots of crazy ideas, Hardrock guitars scream in the background, and human life is not worth a sip of water and blood easy spilled. Verdict: tasty cheese this is, touched gently by queen nostalgia, and better than most post-apocalyptic (teen drama) movies we get these days. Exact rate: 4 + 2 for the extra cheese.

The Seven Samurai serie B version in an apocalyptic future.

It's honest, unassuming, old school, fun and politically incorrect.

I recommend it to those nostalgic for 80s cinema.

This is a good movie with a lot of great and believable scenes because of the good actors...but, the movie, overall (the script), is something that only a teen like me would like at a Drive-In back in the 1980s!

The premise of this movie is silly - these people, overall, without rain for fifty years have little water, but, those in the 'city' are still walking and having babies; and, have oil and gasoline (and, coolant!?!?) for their vehicles in the midst of a water shortage!?!? And, those who live in the desert all seem to be quite healthy with water and have clean clothing (Bruce Dern with his new t-shirts, and, the motorcycle cult in bright white outfits!?!?); but, where are the crops and animals to maintain this lifestyle in this 'desert?' Also, where are the guns at the beginning of this movie to protect this vital water source and way-of-life that these desert-people have!?!? It makes no sense!?!?

But...it doesn't have to!

If you were a 'Drive-In Nut' as I was in the 1980s, you didn't care about any of these technicalities...you loved to see hot women in B-Movies. Catherine Mary Stewart was among these hot women for teenage boys; but, if there's no water...how is she still so hot!?!? And, if so, with a woman this hot, isn't it stupid to allow more sex-starved men into this camp?

What about the men already there!?!? Two new men to the camp came-on to her, and, one of them tried to rape her...DUH! In a normal world, she's hot! In this world, she's a goddess! She's more rare than the water!

I especially like how Catherine Mary Stewart's character kept a framed-photo of Steve McQueen and said how handsome he is; and, how Michael Paré's character said how that photo of Steve McQueen gave him the creeps!?!? Ha-ha! :D Steve McQueen was the best! :)

This is a good movie that if given a higher budget and a better script, would have been great. The script is awful, but, the acting and certain scenes are great!

I give this Drive-In Classic seven stars! :) I give Catherine Mary Stewart's presence and loveliness 11 Stars! ;)
