'Terminus' (1987) - Pierre-William Glenn.

Doomily set within a dismal, undisclosed totalitarian future, a fancy schmancy, AI-powered Monster Truck navigates this increasingly hostile terrain, part of a secretive, underground anti-establishment game. The participant's dangerous travails are masterminded by a playful, preternaturally precocious, genetically modified boy genius, Mati. Jürgen Prochnow as a trio of tweaked Tuetons, a Tank Girlish Karen Allen, and grizzled, steel-fisted hero Johnny Hallyday are perfectly cast in this dazzling roustabout cyberpunk actioner!!! This consistently entertaining Franco/ German production benefits hugely from its excellently charismatic actors, a catchy score, beautifully designed sets, futurist vehicles, and the snazzy Sci-future costuming. There's plenty of zest to stylishly neon-hued dystopian actioner 'Terminus', plus there's a despotic Comic Book evil scientist to B-Movie boost the explosive vehicular action!!! Glenn's locomotive Cyberpunk classic is an appealing admixture of Mad Max, Damnation Alley, Knight Rider, attractively garlanded with a uniquely European savour.
