Warriors of the Year 2072

Lucio Fulci entered the ‘80s Italian Sci-Fi arena armed with full-throttle visuals, hard chrome nihilism and mad blasts of il maestro’s signature grisly mayhem: In a future dominated by ultra-violent TV entertainment, the top-rated global sport Kill-Bike drafts two condemned gladiators – Jared Martin of DALLAS and Fred Williamson of THE INGLORIOUS BASTARDS – for a ‘Battle Of The Damned’ in the Roman Coliseum. Howard Ross (NEW YORK RIPPER), Al Cliver (ENDGAME) and Donald O’Brien (DR. BUTCHER M.D.) co-star in this “wheelie-poppin’ good time” (Comeuppance Reviews) from a script co-written by Fulci, Dardano Sacchetti (THE BEYOND) & Elisa Briganti (ZOMBIE) and featuring a pounding synth score by two-time Oscar® nominee Riz Ortolani, now scanned in 4K (UHD version) from an IP print for the first time in America.

Press Quotes

Thank you, Maestro Fulci... The legendary Italo-exploitation maven delivers a world defined by exciting editing, inspired shooting, fun action and trademark gore bits.

     —Offscreen.com

I f*cking love this movie... Lucio takes his own spin on what comes after the end of the world. It's basically ROLLERBALL with Fulci's penchant for blood.

     —B&S About Movies

Over the top action... A funky time capsule of mad concepts, crazy '80s Italian styling and sweet motorcycle mayhem.

     —Cool Target

Fulci cuts loose... 'The Battle of The Damned' is the flick's price-of-admission highlight - competitors get gouged, set on fire, decapitated and generally abused.
