Terminus is a 1987 Franco-German production (for English-speaking audiences, with a lot of bad dubbing) that could best be described as Death Race 2000 meets Mad Max Fury Road, but only if you give the metal arm to French rock'n'roller Johnny Hallyday, and switch out the Furiosa role (here played by kung fu trucker Karen Allen) after the first act. "Finish the movie for me," she seems to tell Hallyday. Though on the surface it seems to come out of some Metal Hurlant comic strip, Terminus is a total mess. The weird ideas (the talking truck, the genetically modified kids, the ban on games) are hampered by the arrhythmic pace and crash to an unsatisfactory conclusion. Having gone to the trouble of modifying vehicles and using them in percussive stunts, you'd think more care would have been taken. 6 years 5 months ago -
