Enjoyable to watch; I think this was the only film the they both starred in together.

Go to 1:22 in the movie and be prepared to laugh your asss off. What you'll see is a 8 year old boy turn into a full sized man in 5 seconds. There are so many mistakes and over dubs in this film I lost track. Corny as hell plot line that makes no sense. But there are some great one liners and Patrick Swayze keeps it interesting enough to watch this film in entirety.

5 star B-entertainment, Ex-Soilder finds himself tangled in a land war after a friends death. The story has a little of everything with adventure,action, drama, romance, blood, sweat, sand and water.If you can't say something nice
why review it. Aliasjb©112510

This was not "early 80's" like some have stated. It was late 80's. I remember watching this when it first came on HBO back around 1988. It has always been one of my favorite Swayze films. Some of the support cast is lacking in acting skills. But all in all not a bad film. There are some seeming similarities to my favorite Star Wars film... desert, moisture farms, and tusken-"like" people in the beginning. Then you have the Mad Max stuff... lone hero in desert with no name (yes his name is max... but most characters never know his name), dog following the no-name hero buttkicker, thugs in desert trying to take what the peasants have, and a kid to suck up to the buttkicking good guy. But really, no-name buttkicking loner hero's are very popular in action movies. Steel Dawn, Mad Max, Waterworld, The Postman, Clint Eastwood westerns, and many others actually.Even Arnold Vosloo, from The Mummy, is in it haha. This is one of the few films I remember watching where Brian James is actually a "good guy" lol. I seen somebody mention not seeing stunt doubles. They did use them. Maybe not throughout, but they were used. The only major noticeable one that I seen was when "Jux" jumps from the wind-racer... clearly not a young boy jumping.

This is one of the better movies ive seen on hulu especially for an earily 80s movie. Patrick swayze was terrific in it and 1st the 1st movie ive seen by him. Id recommend everyone to watch it for themselves and see what you think. Not just the 1st 5 mins the whole movie. It was really up to par tbh.
