THEY CAME. THEY SHOPPED. THEY SAVED THE WORLD!
Two girls from the Valley wake up to find that a passing comet has eradicated their world and left behind a mysterious red-dust and a pack of cannibal mutants. With the help of a friendly truck driver, the girls save the earth from a villainous "think tank," karate chop their way through flesh-eating zombies, and, of course, find time to go to the mall.
This movie had way more influence on me than it should have. I was pretty young when I watched it, and it left me yearning for the apocalypse. I really only remember a few scenes by now. The scene that I remember most clearly I think is near the end of the movie, where a guy pulls up in a supercar, I think a Lambo. He had just taken it, since it was the end of the world and all. That left me thinking the end of the world would be a paradise, where I could have anything I wanted. Sure, you'd have to fight mutants, blasting them with uzis, but to a little kid, that's all fun and games. I should watch it again, and see if it's actually any good or not.
Loved this movie when it came out too, though I'm pretty sure the car was a BMW convertible or some such. Not as cool as an 80s Countach, but not too shabby..! The 4k release is on my list of must score discs.
