Bounty Killer

BOUNTY KILLER( MARY IS QUITE CONTRARY!)


SYNOPSIS:

Corporations take over the governments of the world and promptly go to war with each other, destroying civilization as we know it. A new government calling themselves the "Council Of Nine" forms and employs...you guessed it...Bounty Killers, to hunt down the CEO's and kill them for profit. The first bounty killer known as "Drifter" has been eclipsed in popularity by Mary Death.

Mary Death is something, I'll tell you what. She wears a skin tight outfit and  white go go boots. The boots have razor sharp spurs that Mary uses to cut throats with, because what else are spurs for? She also kicks ass, shoots big guns, and drives a yellow Mustang with a badass logo emblazoned on the roof.

Also occupying the post apocalyptic wasteland...cannibal gypsies! The highlight of the movie occurs when the Drifter and his partner(called a "gun caddy") still the gyspies coach(a trailer powered by two motorcyces) which leads to a chase across the desert. It bares a little resemblance to the Mad Max movies. Okay, more than a little.

One of those evil CEOS is played by Kristanna Loken. Her image also appears on a poster at the beginning of the movie, and it is obviously meant to invoke that propaganda art used during World War 2. It's one of those blink or you'll miss it kind of things, which is a shame, because it's well done. Also, she has a wacky hairdo.


For a low budget film it looks pretty good. The action scenes are well staged and you can actually see what 's happening. No shaky cam here. Some CGI blood mixed with real fake blood. Gary Busey shows up and acts crazy. When does part two come out? More Mary Death please.
