- 1985
This fast-paced film stars (Conrad Nichols) as the tough Captain Williams, head of a crack commando squad who goes into Afghanistan to save the U.S.S.R. -- and indirectly, the U.S. -- from some very bad publicity. A journalist and his daughter have evidence that the Russians are using biological and chemical weapons in their war in Afghanistan. The unit of five commandos smuggle themselves into Afghanistan through its neighbor Iran, bribing the leaders of that country with some spare parts for its war planes (shades of Iran-Contra!). Once inside the country they discover that the journalist has already died from exposure to nerve gas, and his daughter is already getting sick. Williams starts to guess that they are all being set up because everything is going just a little too well, and he adjusts his plans accordingly. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

In this low-budget actioner, Conrad Nichols is Rush, a superhero, a kind of jungle Rambo, determined to free the slave laborers who work for a villainous ruler (Gordon Mitchell) in a combination oil refinery and greenhouse. The difficulty he faces is that the laborers are afraid to return to the outside world -- a nuclear holocaust happened just 10 years earlier, and they worry about radiation sickness. It does not matter, apparently, that the oil refinery and greenhouse are already in the open air. Rush explains that everything is green again and radiation-free (an interesting concept), but between their doubts and the ruler's minions out to get him, life is not easy. Budget restrictions kept special effects and costuming to a minimum, making the choices for a "futuristic" look somewhat strange (the workers wear plastic over regular clothes, Rush wears body gloss), but most fans of this genre are willing to overlook these typical drawbacks. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

- 1984
Set in a post-nuclear society, Rage concentrates on a band of refugees in search of the elusive-and possibly inhabited--Alpha Base. Tooling about in 1940s-vintage automobiles, the survivors steal a map from the resident villain and embark on a perilous journey. In On the Beach fashion, they learn that the radio signals emanating from Alpha Base are not of human origin. Still, they find an unexpected source of salvation for mankind. Conrad Nichols stars as Rage, head of the ragtag group, while Taida Urruzola is the underclad heroine. The "Anthony Richmond" credited with the direction is actually Tonino Ricci. Completed in 1984, Rage was released in the US two years later. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
