In 'Variety' magazine's October 1993 review, Emanuel Levy called film "a spoof of the 'Mad Max' cult films." He comments, that films "subtle humor and moderate violence (by today's standards) may disappoint viewers expecting excessive treatment of such matters", but also said, that films "impressive visual design and strong perfs by Matti Pellonp and Jrgen Prochnow could broaden satire's commercial prospects beyond the midnight circuit."Emanuel Levy.
