I am generally a great fan of low budget sci-fi movies. I have spent some really happy hours watching post-apocalyptic movies of the 70s and early 80s. For me the post-apocalypse films were to the 70s and 80s what the martian films were to the 50s.
Lee Majors was never much of an actor but he had some screen presence that made him stand out from the other non-actors. Lee Majors in a post-apocalyptic sci-fi movie just couldn't miss - but it just did. The Last Chase is one of the most mind-numbing, slow-moving experience that you can come across. The story does not seem to go anywhere and it certainly does not reach anywhere. The movie has no story and no budget to gloss up the short-comings (as in Independence Day) It never looks like it is going to be very promising. At one point there has to be a delightfully evil individual or corporation that one can love to hate. In this movie, unfortunate
ly, none of the characters or situations are completely developed. Fortunately the film is all but forgotten and only once in a while will someone like me, who watches practically any movie that is playing, will be subjected to this horrific movie.
I will give it 1 out of 10. 1 for the respect to many people who had to sweat out to make this turkey.
