The Final Executioner (Italian: L' Ultimo Guerriero) is an Italian post-apocalyptic film released in 1984.

Synopsis

The resulting fallout from a nuclear war has contaminated most of the cities except for a few. An elite group has taken up the sport of hunting the contaminated people. Alan, played by William Mang tries to put a stop to this.

Production

A certain amount of footage from this film was used in a later film The Bronx Executioner.[1][2] Woody Strode's footage as the character Sam is re-used in The Bronx Executioner, and his character is called Warren.[3] Margit Evelyn Newton was the only actor from this film to have new scenes shot in the second.[4]

Reception

In a retrospective review, Jeremy Wheeler of AllMovie commented that despite the film having a "leather-clad, big-haired warrior on a sleek, black motorcycle carrying a samurai sword on the barren dunes of the future" sounding "genius enough" the film still contained "all the pitfalls of the cheap Italian post-apocalyptic flicks of this time with little of the gratuitous nature that the best of the bunch have been graced with."[5]
