NEON CITY is another film that openly copies the MAD MAX franchise, in particular part two of the series given that the whole second half of the film involves the main characters inhabiting a truck which is driven through a perilous landscape and chased by nameless bad guys. It's a much lower budgeted and thus inferior product when compared to the George Miller series, but cult film fans might just like this one regardless, mainly due to Michael Ironside who appears in the starring role. Ironside only plays the good guy in a film once in a blue moon but he's the protagonist here and he's excellent, as you might expect. Still a total bad ass, but on the side of good for once. The rest of the film is a mix of cheap action scenes, snowy vistas, and characters arguing and fighting amongst themselves. There's a little humour to lighten the experience and overall it's a fun enough picture, massively enhanced by the reliable Ironside.
