Some things I liked some I did not.

I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

How could this possibly be bad!! Well you hire the worlds crappiest video camera, don't have tape so why not shoot it over the worn copies of copies of used video tape. Hey then hire the worst actors you can find, (Z'dar excepted, he gets a free pass). You then make up the script as you go along. Then shoot it in your parents garage and on location at the local junk yard.Hey just to make it look even worst transfer it to DVD using freeware you find on a dodgy download site.Spend the rest of your budget on tomato sauce for special effects and you have "Run Like Hell"I watched it from start to finish and I still can't tell you exactly what happened. But here is some sample dialog:Ninja: "You must learn to fight,....because when the time comes to fight you must fight, like a badger, like you friend Darla did when you lost your friend Darla." Blonde Chick: "Look you are most likely some great martial arts master, but i've been through much worse things and lived, I don't have time to fight, we need to finish the quest."mmmmmmm What freakin quest???? They just run and shoot and act really really badly.Any who, I love cheesy bad movies, I have an extensive collection, but even I had to force myself to sit through this. The DVD quality is at some points unwatchable, this is only for those seeking out the worst of the worst. So bad it is not even good-bad, just bad-bad.

In the near future of 2008... Wait a minute. That's actually the past. And this film was made in 1995. What on Earth where the three (yeah, three) writers thinking here? Oh well. I'll start again.In the year 2008, the Earth is ravaged by war, pestilence, disease and mutants. (apparently) Who's to blame for all of this bleakness? Wimmin', that's who. Single wimmin'. Or at least that's what the "corrupt government" seem to think, and promptly bundle all single women off to prisons, as they're deemed "A threat to society".This is explained by some dude doing a voice-over, only he never explains WHY, single chicks are deemed a threat to society.But that doesn't matter, because as soon as this film starts, four chicks go from showering in their thongs to doing a prison break in their thongs, and this does its job in distracting you from asking about such niceties like realism, and believability.Besides, Robert Z'Dar is the warden, and if you're actually gonna sit down and watch a futuristic post apocalyptic flick with sleazy wardens played by Robert Z'Dar and prison breaks by chicks wearing thongs, and then not like it, well, this begs the question: Shouldn't the sentence "Starring Robert Z'Dar as the sleazy warden" have been a valuable enough heads up to begin with??Anyhoo, our heroines go on the run, to the fabled "Paradise City", (where presumably single wimmin' aren't deemed a threat to society and Guns N Roses are quite popular) only to have that dastardly warden hire a bounty hunter and a dude with a motorcycle helmet passing as a cyborg, to bring em back home, so that justice will be served. Apparently, cyborgs were invented in the 13 years before single wimmin' caused society's downfall.Yet luckily for our intrepid single chicks, a mysterious Ninja, who just happens to be bopping along the post apocalyptic mutant and pestilence infested wasteland, decides to teach them how to fight, for reasons best known to himself. Judging by the training choreography, he's no Mr Myagi either. This leads to a climax which involves chainsaw duels and improbable wounds, such as single crimson lines from said chainsaw duels.Run Like Hell is awesomely, incredibly, almost willfully awful. In every sense of the word. The dialogue is crap. The acting is woeful and the cast consists of people with names such as Gil Cologne. The score is this hilariously inept syntho nonsense and the fact that three writers thought that: A) Society was gonna crumble in 13 short years. B) Said future would also consist of ninjas, chainsaw duels and single chicks getting carted off to prisons as being single was a threat to society......is a testament to the sheer grooviness of the drugs they obviously had knocking about back then.Anyway... I loved it, and found it firmly craptastic. Well recommended for lovers of trashy bad cinema. And NOBODY else.

In the bleak future of 2008 the world has been severely ravaged by war and disease. All the single women are rounded up and incarcerated in brutal womens' penitentiaries. Four gutsy gals -- Elsa (buxom blonde Dree Lange), Darla (lovely Colleen Corrigan), Shotgun (Liz Davies), and Sally (cute Elizabeth Prince) -- break out of jail, go on the lam, and hightail it to Paradise City. The evil sleazeball warden (veteran B-flick baddie Robert Z'Dar in fine slimy form) assigns tough bounty hunter Blade (the hopelessly wooden Gil Cologne) and his droid partner (director/co-writer Robert Rundle wearing a tarted-up motorcycle helmet!) to retrieve the ladies. Fortunately, mysterious ninja Jag (stolid Henry Olvera) decides to help the quartet out by teaching them how to fight. Clumsily directed by Rundle (who also came up with the story and co-wrote the slight script), with a tacky narrative that combines elements of chicks-in-chains exploitation and your basic chase thriller into a deliciously cheesy whole, largely awful acting from a lame no-name cast, clunky martial arts fights, a monotonously shuddery synthesizer score, dreadful dialogue ("I only bet on a sure thing and I'm never wrong"), crude and ugly eyeball-straining shot-on-video cinematography by Mac Williams, cut-rate gore, and ineptly staged action scenes, this gloriously ghastly mess possesses all the right wrong stuff to rate highly as a positively gut-busting four star stinkeroonie. Of course, we also get a tasty plethora of gratuitous female nudity (our four escapees spend the first ten odd minutes of the picture running about clad solely in black thongs!) and a smidgen of lurid soft-core sex. A complete trashy hoot.

I would only recommend this post-apocalyptic home video to big fans of heavy T&A and thong enthusiasts that like the kind that ride high on the hips and make the wearer's buttocks look long and droopy (I think you know what kind I'm referring to. I hate those.)The silly plot has Robert Z'Dar (whose scenes look as if they're shot in a day) as the despotic warden of a futuristic women's prison. Luckily for him, all single women have been rounded up and incarcerated. Needless to say, all the inmates wear the afore mentioned high-riding thong and nothing else.Thrown in are an escape, a cyborg bounty hunter, chainsaws, some ninjas, and other crap that came springing from the minds of the three (It took three people to write this!) obviously twelve-year-old writers.In case my words inadvertently inspire someone to watch this, let me end by pleading with you to please skip it. It sounds very cool but it's a boring, shot on video mess. It's so bad I had to turn the lights on and stand up to keep from falling asleep.
