Death Run (1987) / Mutant City (1987) is the kind of movie that makes you wonder if everyone involved had a completely different copy of the script. It's a post-apocalyptic adventure assembled from spare parts, pocket change, and what appears to be an unlimited supply of confidence. Somehow, despite operating on a budget that probably wouldn't cover catering on most productions, the film often looks surprisingly respectable. The costumes are passable, the locations work, and the camera operators generally manage to point the lens in the right direction. That's already several steps ahead of many direct-to-video wasteland adventures from the era. Unfortunately, once the plot starts moving, all bets are off.

The story lurches from event to event with a remarkable disregard for cause and effect. Characters make decisions that seem specifically designed to sabotage their own survival. Entire scenes feel as though critical pages of exposition were lost on the drive to set. The result is a movie where you stop asking "Why are they doing that?" and instead begin admiring the sheer audacity required to keep marching forward without answers. Every new development feels less like storytelling and more like a random encounter table being rolled in real time.

Voted Britain's Worst Movie Ever (by some blokes who must not have a very deep pool to chose from) Carry On Columbus becomes our first foray into the Carry On franchise. I think we can all agree; it's funnier than ACTUAL Columbus.

We've entered into this in a very unconventional way. We imagine most viewers of the Carry On franchise have a few of their higher quality films under their belt before watching this - which is obviously going to be inferior. So likely, in those viewing specifications will lead many to absolutely loathe this movie. We don't fall into that camp. This ONLY made us to want to watch even more Carry On. Because if this is the worst, well the others have gotta be pretty good.
