Radioactive Dreams
1986 Directed by Albert Pyun
Synopsis
Meet Phillip and Marlowe, the post-nuclear private eyes. They're looking for good times and fast women. Their first case could be the world's last.
After an atomic war Phillip Hammer and Marlowe Chandler have spent 15 years on their own in an bunker, stuffed with junk from the 40s and old detective novels. Now, 19 years old, they leave their shelter to find a world full of mutants, freaks and cannibals. They become famous detectives in the struggle for the two keys that could fire the last nuclear weapon.

Somewhere inside this movie is a great idea desperate to be heard but it is drowned out by a parade of awful. I'm not suggesting it is of the same low quality as The Room but it's certainly on it's way in that direction.
This is pure silliness with plot holes galore in a script that wanders all over the place and relies on a disastrous voiceover to tie things together. It's billed as a comedy but I don't think I laughed with it once, laughing at it on the other hand is easy enough to do.
It was clearly influenced by such classics as Buckaroo Banzai and Repo Man but has none of the class to go along with it. In a world that had already produced Blade Runner and The Terminator I'm just not sure how this one got made.

It's got a lot of heart and it's a pretty fun movie if you don't think to much into it. It's leaps and bounds better than some recent "straight-to-video" movies.

How does this movie not have a massive cult following?!!!
