...it's an old fashion, fast paced, post apocalypse thriller. It's "over the top," but pretty well made. For me, it made for a fun Saturday afternoon, way back when. The fact that Snake Pliskin lands his glider on the roof of one of the WTC buildings is an unfortunate coincidence, that gets in my head in a distracting way. But, I could watch it again. Now the sequel is another story, truly bad.

You're being too kind. It's probably worse than that :-)
Actually, I've got both on DVD and they're enjoyable on a very occasional basis. The second is really a re-hash of the first with a couple of twists just to avoid doing exactly the same thing twice and I think it's worst aspect is the fact that it is so much of a re-hash in many ways. You can almost say that if you've seen one you've seen them both.
Light, trite, no socially redeeming features, probably low B-grade action films which really aren't anywhere near the quality of the best of Carpenter's work.
