Canceled Too Soon #159 - Badlands 2005 (1988)

The year is 2005 and severe droughts have left the world in post-apocalyptic disarray, and gangs of ROAD WARRIOR-esque bandits roam the wastelands. It's up to Perfect Tommy from BUCKAROO BANZAI, a robot played by Miguel Ferrer and, naturally, Sharon Stone to protect the world from eccentric bad guys using high-tech cars in BADLANDS 2005, directed by George Miller!

How the heck did BADLANDS 2005 not get picked up, and was it really... CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold travel to the distant future - 14 years ago - to figure out what worked, what went wrong, and why BADLANDS 2005 deserves to be rediscovered.
