Atlantis Interceptors / Raiders of Atlantis / Italy/USA / 1983
This is how Deodato followed up Cannibal Holocaust and House on the Edge of the Park. In the future (1994!), the government accidentally causes Atlantis to resurface while trying to raise a sunken nuclear sub. A punk biker gang of former Atlanteans called the Interceptors takes the opportunity to begin destroying society. Trapped in the middle of all of this are a pair of grizzled mercenaries, a militant black Muslim, a nerdy scientist, and a sexy professor of ancient languages who holds the key to unlocking the secrets of Atlantis.
Atlantis Interceptors doesn’t live up to Deodato’s previous films but it is a ridiculously entertaining Eurotrash action film. It contains a key ingredient that is lacking from most modern cinema: insanity. Practically every aspect of the film is devoid of even a hint of reality and at times it seems to be trying to reference more than three other films at once. Deodato is doing everything in his power to keep the audience entertained and the result is an intentionally delirious and enjoyable mess.
