From the chilling best! In the tradition of Mad Max, here comes two hours of non-stop mayhem and violence. The time...the future. The place...hell. Everything has been destroyed after the Great War and a vicious crime control gas has been released into the atmosphere, turning all but a few of the survivors into monsters. These "meanies" created by the gas ruled the East under the control of a crazed mutant named Balrog. Balrog uses Zorack (Phil Herman), a surviving serial killer, to rid him of other dangerous humans. After these men are captured, Zorack is betrayed and thrown into the Arena Of Death, where he must battle for his life against Balrog's army of creatures. It's a futuristic, post-apocalyptic slaughterthon where only the strong will survive. This is hell....Hell On Earth!
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
