900 years after a nuclear war in the USA, mankind is back to the stone ages. Amazon women rule the tribes, while the men are weak and dumb - either kept as slaves or living wild as animals. Only Korvis and a friend are intelligent enough to flee and found a tribe of their own. Will they manage to teach the women to love men again?

I first saw this movie in the late 80's and I loved it. It was different from the usual post-nuke movies of the era, because it was an action comedy/adventure, rather than the dark, dystopian offerings such as Stryker, Endgame, etc etc. It occured to me, that given current world events, it's a juxtaposition of The Handmaid's Tale, when men are subjugated by women and are used as labourer, kept as pets and 'seeders' Note: Lynka, the Tiara's bestie wasn't enjoying the actThe film takes place some 900 years after the 'Great Nuke', and everything was peachy keen for the women until one fateful day, a male child was born, and things went pear shaped from there. I loved the women's empowerment theme in this movie. Their slang was hilarious. I liked the characters too. Korvis and Veena, make a lovely couple, don't you think?A bloody great movie!
Awful - but fun. I am still chuckling. The boom box that (a) still had working batteries, and (b) had a radio signal to receive after 900 years, was priceless. I remind you all that makeup, shampoo, and high heels seem to have survived almost every Sci-Fi disaster ever filmed. This phenomenon is not unique to the worst of the worst.In fact, it seems to me that the creators intentionally harvested the most obvious dystopian film clichés, and then pushed each of them to their most absurd extreme. It's the future. Our leaders were short-sighted and disaster ensued. Mankind manages to survive and restart its social evolution, but blunders. A hero emerges with vision and corrects the blunder. I could probably use this film as an outline for my first SF novel if I wanted to.

While America 3000 MAY be one of the ALLTIME grade-Z movies, a great deal of comments made by the other person to review this film are wrong. First off, the hairstyles. Since the film takes place 900 years AFTER World War III, and in the radioactive wild of Colorado, how could anybody be "suffering from "bad '80's style haircuts?" Moron. The hair is typical of a bunch of people stuck in the wild, with the intelligence of a lower primate with no vanity. Just wild, unkenmpt hair. Specifically, mine. I played Young Korvis, (the good looking one.) The film is narrated by Mr. William Wallace, who plays my grown up sidekick, Gruss. It could have been worse. Chuck Wagner of TV's "AutoMan" (who's a GREAT guy, if you ever get a chance to meet him) could've narrated, which would have been a mistake. While he has physical presence, vocally, he may be lacking. And this is odd, considering the amount of stage he's done before and since this film. Compared to the last Mad Max film, this movie is downright inspirational, even if filmed on a 3 million dollar budget. The Director (David Englebach) went on to develop "Over the Top" with Sly Stallone. Yeah, I barfed too, but it wasn't half bad. Last comment (since this is hardly a review, but more of a defense of a terrible flick..) This movie never made it to MST3K....I checked. What am I doing now? I shoot music videos for up and coming rock bands. If you're in the Los Angeles Area Friday, march 5 2004, come to Johnny Foxx's, and see Flying Venus, the hottest group from Northern California destined to become the next big thing. That's what us grade Z actors are doing now. And the winner is.............
