Is A Boy And His Dog the one with Don Johnson? If it is I remember seeing that on Moviedrome many many years ago. Seem to remember I liked it. Might have to try and see it again.

The original, New World Pictures dub of Nausicaa Of The Valley Of The Wind was Macekred so heavily that Hayao Miyazaki held off licensing his other films until someone approached him with a deal that stipulated no changes to the script or editing. This one is perhaps the most reviled C&P Translation of the 1980s, if only because the effects of the mauling of a work perceived by the Japanese as practically a national treasure are still felt in the industry; many Japanese companies still remember what happened to Nausicaa and are now incredibly paranoid themselves about any changes to their product in translation, even if it would help that product...

When Miramax picked up Princess Mononoke, one of Studio Ghibli's producers didn't forget the previous disaster and reportedly sent the Miramax execs a katana with a note saying "No cuts."

By your logic, Planet of the Apes would not qualify because of the presence of law, society, order.

The ape culture is seperate from the fallen human culture. We live in a time that would be considered post-apocalypse to a T-rex. But this concept is so obvious I'm quite suprised I need to explain it.

This conversation was initally about Dark Angel. Since you clearly didn't read it higher in the thread, I shall copy/paste it for you:

Dark Angel isn't in the post-apocalypse genre. The world of that verse continues, albeit in an overwhelming economic depression. Society is still holding together and there is a framework of law. Compare that to the 1st Mad Max film where society is falling apart and the framework of law is crumbling into nothing.

And by the way, this conversation was ORIGINALLY about favorite post-apocalypse movies, NOT Dark Angel. You really should pay attention!

Still, in the framework of post-apocalypse, I'd say DA qualifies. I sure LOOKS like about half the societal order is gone. And if all you need to disqualify something from apocalyptic is a loose framework of law and society, then even A Boy and His Dog would be disqualified. Hell, there were even SOME rules in the Mad Max trilogy...

By the way, you jumping in with crap like "No. You're wrong" makes it look like you got your debating tactics from AuRaptor, so are you really sure you want to be impugning anyone else's? 'Cause if you want to go that route, I can already tell you you're wrong. Even if it IS just your opinion, it's still wrong. :)
