In post-nuke Texas (or its Italian equivalent), characters named Catch Dog, Jab, Halakron and Red Wolfe battle the villainous Black One and his fascist army.

Not much plot here, and the outcome is never in doubt (this is a Joe D’Amato movie, after all), but the usual stunts, shootouts and barroom brawls keep it watchable and the filmmakers even rip-off The Deer Hunter’s Russian Roulette scene for extra fun.

It may also be the only post-nuke where the heroes attempt to save a tribe of Indians, but enough already.
