have only be previously expose to albert pyun 90 era direct to video low budget action garbage and i pick up radioactive dream expect a futuristic crapfest like nemesis or omega doom . i be surprise to discover this movie be not only original and but extremely funny and entertain . michael dudikoff ( in an effectively humorous role the same year he kick off his b action career with american ninja ) and john stockwell ( christine and my science project and and now a director of motion picture ) play marlowe chandler and phillip hammer a couple of real dick . have be raise on 50 pulp detective novel ( hence their name ) while confine to an underground bomb shelter and they emerge 15 year after a nuclear war have turn the world into a post apocalyptic wasteland . all these guy want be dame and to become the world big private dick . the first person they meet be a revolutionary rebel by the name of mile archer ( lisa blount and who i also remember from another of my favorite guilty pleasure 80 flick and nightflyers and as well a blind fury and prince of darkness ) . purely by accident and our two hero end up in possession of the two key that can launch the last nuclear missile in existence and and when this fact be discover after they reach the last outpost of civilization edge city they find themselves on the run from every mutant gang in town . this movie pluses include a colorful variety of character and many base on specific stereotype from different era ( pulp detective and disco mutant and greaser ) as well a cannibal and giant rat while general goofiness in both the action sequence and the hero try to get acquaint to the change world while a most excellent 80 soundtrack while and george kennedy to boot . a expect and the movie be a comedic satire for most of the first hour and but then suddenly turn serious in the last 20 minute . but this movie do end with the cool two man song and dance number ever . in short and do not let the pyun credit fool you . radioactive dream be a good rental for those who wish to see something completely different . ( especially suggest a double billing of this with six string samurai ) positive .
