‘Mad Max’ rip-offs invade Amazon Prime Video

Since late last year, I’ve written about the plethora of post-apocalyptic movies on Amazon Prime Video. In three posts, I listed over 90 little-known, end-of-the-world themed movies on the streaming video service. Most are cheaply made, poorly reviewed movies as Amazon Prime Video goes for quantity over quality.
Recently I noticed a bunch of older “Mad Max” rip-offs from the 1980s era showing up on the service. They join the endless zombie apocalypse movies on the platform.
Here are latest post-apocalyptic movies I’ve seen on Amazon Prime Video.

Wheels of Fire (1985)
