The movie starts, as to be expected, as a bunch of chaos! Texas is entirely destroyed by nuclear warfare and hoodlum gangs randomly run amok in the streets. Luckily there’s a quintet of courageous beefcake warriors parading around to protect the weaklings. During a fight in a monastery (there’s a nun who cuts her own throat \u0085 TWICE!), one of them is banished for trying to rape a girl and another one leaves voluntary to marry and live in a community that tries to rebuild civilization. The evil Nazi-inspired Black One violently invades this community, however, and makes a widow out of the warrior’s wife. The tree remaining buddies pick up the girl in a sleazy bar and decide to help her in defeating Black One and his evil lieutenant, who’s also an old acquaintance of them. Mind you, this is just a very brief and shortened plot description. There’s a whole lot more going on in “2020 \u2013 Texas Gladiators”. Too much to mention, actually, as there are authentic traditional Indians, enslaved mine workers, Russian roulette sequences that are stolen straight from “The Deer Hunter”, Nazis with amours of steel and one tremendously cool Asian fighting expert!<\/p>\n
Unless, of course, you have no idea what the early 80’s Italian rip- off\/exploitation business is all about, you simply cannot dislike “2020 \u2013 Texas Gladiators”. Whilst slightly less outrageous and entertaining as “Endgame”, this is another over-the-top flamboyant sm\u00f6rg\u00e5sbord of sleaze and violence. Donald O’Brien is fantastically stereotypical, in a totally deliberate fashion, and the battle sequences are hysterical. Imagine: hi-tech weapons can’t perpetrate through the armor of the Nazi soldiers, but old-fashioned Indians with their primitive arrows and spears wipe them out in a matter of seconds! D’Amato’s film is full of similar nonsense like this, and more. <\/p>\n
