The Road Raiders

About This Movie

The Road Raiders is this curious blend of action and war themes wrapped up in a TV movie format from the late '80s. Imagine a ragtag group of misfits, each more outrageous than the last, banding together in 1942 Manila. The vibe is definitely influenced by The 'A' Team and The Dirty Dozen, but it's got its own flavor too—filled with anachronisms and some pretty obvious rip-offs. The pacing varies; it can drag a little in spots, but then suddenly kick into high gear with explosions and practical effects that remind you of the good old days of low-budget filmmaking. Performances lean towards the over-the-top, which, I suppose, adds to the charm. It's a real time capsule of a certain era in TV movie making.
