Nomination Year: 2006

SYNOPSIS: In the future, the Earth is a devastated, barbarian-ruled wasteland and the only remaining civilization is on the lunar colony. Fortunately, the colonists have found a way to regenerate the Earth's atmosphere. Unfortunately, barbarian sympathizers have stolen the compound and smuggled it to Earth. Lunar cop Joe Brody is sent to get it back. Meanwhile, in a completely different movie, post-apocalyptic bikers manace a small trading settlement. All looks grim, when a mysterious stranger (Joe, now wearing leather and driving a motorcycle) rides into town and drives them off, saving the inevitable beautiful girl. She takes him back to her village, where he befriends the locals and, for the next 45 minutes, helps them repel a series of Mad-Max-style barbarian biker attacks. Finally, he defeats the biker leader only to fall through a trap door back into the first movie and discover that the villagers are the ones who stole the formula. But, when it turns out that the Loonies plan to kill everyone on Earth before releasing the formula so that they can have the planet to themselves, Joe decides to side with the villagers and help them release the chemical. The Loonies immediately figure this out and send their low-budget Terminator rip-off, The Stopper, to kill him. So, what's the SolarFORCE? Good question!

Acting Appropriately Stupid
Open the Box.... Joe turns over the "secret formula" to The Stopper, who apparently isn't programmed for either brains or perception.	Sorry, this clip has not yet been made available!
