10 Post Apocalyptic Films You Need To See

The late great Roddy Piper is Sam Hell, one of the last fertile men in a world, which makes him “valuable property” to Dr Sandahl Bergman, who’s mounting a peculiar search-and-rescue mission.

A group of fertile women have been kidnapped and are being held to ransom in Frogtown, a section of wasteland that only a frog-headed mutant would call home. “We’re gonna get ‘em out,” Bergman informs him, “and you’re gonna get ‘em pregnant.”

Initially reluctant despite the, ah, fringe benefits, Piper is given an incentive in the form of a location finder/explosive device strapped around his waist, which as you can imagine makes fulfilling his duties somewhat difficult. Sure enough, when they locate an escapee in the desert, Piper finds himself unable to rise to the challenge, forcing Bergman to improvise a solution. Stripping down to her smalls, she tells him: “Relax. I’ve been trained in seduction techniques.” Bet she never did that for Schwarzenegger.

Throw in some chainsaw-wielding frogs, add a few zingers (“Eat lead, froggies!”), mix with “The dance of the three snakes” (which has to be seen to be believed) and you have an amusing b-movie tailor made for beer o’clock.
