Overview
In the nuclear ravaged wasteland of Earth 2087 water is as precious as life itself. The isolated Lost Wells outpost survived the holocaust and the inhabitants guard the source of their existence. Now an evil cult of renegades want control of their valuable water supply. And the villagers are no match for such brute military force. Only one man can help the stricken community - a mercenary living in a distance cannibal city. But even he, and his strange henchmen, may not be able to survive in the world gone wild.

Viewing Notes
I remembered a bit late that Paul, one of the writers for Daily Grindhouse, was doing a livestream on KAST of various movies that would’ve shown up on Cinemax back in the ‘90s. I missed the first movie but joined somewhere in the first third of this one.
I’ve seen this before but it’s been a long time; likely back when I was still renting VHS tapes. It’s post-apocalyptic, one of my favorite genres, so right up my alley; and a riff on Seven Samurai. It’s always fun to see one of Adam Ant’s forays into acting! Paré and Bruce Dern play two of the protagonists defending the town from Ant’s white-clad cult of bad guys.
Ended up watching on my phone but if I’m gonna do more of these I need to figure out how to cast it to my TV or projector to watch properly. I did it before with some silent films but if the source quality is low then blowing it up on a bigger screen ends up not looking very good. Maybe I’ll try on my laptop next time.

Definitely go laptop next time. I have the KAST phone app but haven’t used it for these watch parties. At least in desktop you can go either theater mode or full screen. Theater mode still allows you to see the live chat on the side. And the presentation is decent.
Having watched a lot of web broadcasts there is a quality drop viewing on my TV. I watch most of the DKUTV broadcasts on my TV and it’s pretty poor for a lot of the films. I can tell from the KAST streams I’ve viewed it would be the same drop. It’s fine for the majority of films I’ve tuned in for since the source for many of them have been questionable to begin with.

Yeah, that’s what I figured. I remember streaming some public domain Hitchcock movies from YouTube in the theater and it was really terrible quality. I’ll definitely do laptop next time.
