Wheels of Fire
“One Last Hero...”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 62, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
Wasteland motorists settle practically everything with petrol and violence. This scrappy road-war adventure piles rescue missions and mutants onto its car trouble, then lets the engines argue. It is grimier than a comedy, but a useful pick for a crowd cheering every unnecessary explosion.
