Starting with Ruggero Deodato (director of Cannibal Holocausts) RAIDERS of ATLANTIS (1983). A whacky adventure of Mike and Washington who take on Atlantis On Bullet at a time. Atlantis doesn't have a chance... Then we resurface for Lucio Fulci’s (Director of City of the Living Dead) WARRIORS OF THE YEAR 2072 (1984). Essentially "The Running Man" movie that Dadarno Sachetti claims ripped off his story. Which was based on the 1982 Novel of the same title by Stephen King. Coincidence? or Ripoff? You be the judge.
