MAD MAXINE: FRISKY ROAD (2018) ** ½

Unlike the last movie I just watched, this is a straight-up spoof of Mad Max:  Fury Road, but with a sexy babe (in this case, porn star Olive Glass) in the lead role.  Instead of gas being the world’s most precious commodity, it’s women’s fashion and accessories.  Maxine wanders into “Thunderbone” where she is sentenced to participate in a tickle fight, and whoever pisses themselves first loses.  (“Two girls enter!  One girl pees!”)  Things get worse for Maxine when a chick named Horniosa (Sandra Sopranos) steals her car and they become wanted by the evil Immortan Hoe (Darian Caine). 

The opening narration is a pretty spot-on parody of the beginning of The Road Warrior, and it even comments on the “weird ‘80s hairstyles” found in these post-apocalyptic movies.  Surprisingly enough, the flick is also able to recreate bits from Road Warrior, Beyond Thunderdome, and Fury Road on an abysmally low budget.  The chase scenes and action sequences are really chintzy though, the costumes look like they came from Dollar Tree, and the CGI is shitty, but at least they tried to replicate the feel of the Mad Max movies.  I mean I totally wasn’t expecting to see a low-rent version of the flamethrower guitar guy from Fury Road, but they managed to squeeze him in somehow.  Plus, the “Captain Walker” bit is priceless, especially for someone like me who despises all the “Morrow Morrow Land” shit in Beyond Thunderdome. 

Yes, Seduction Cinema doesn’t make too many of these softcore parodies anymore, but it’s good to know they still crank them out every now and again.  Glass is fine in the lead, but it’s Caine who seems to be having the most fun.  I will say the sex scenes aren’t great, act mostly as filler, are way too brief, and look like they were taken from completely different movies.  If they put as much thought into the softcore action as they did the post-apocalyptic action, we might’ve had a winner here.
