Road Raider by Mindscape - Cover Review

The sunglasses. The car. The post-apocalyptic setting. There's just something about this cover that is awfully familiar, but I can't seem to put my finger on it. What could it be? We have an unshaven heart throb suited up in leather and packing a gun. He's living a life on the run, avoiding the man and a crazy biker gang. He's not afraid to use his guns, but kind of wishes that he could get more of a use out of those spikes on his back. If this was a movie they would probably cast some good looking action hero who just so happens to be an anti-Semite with a bad drinking problem. What is it that I'm thinking of? Oh wait, is it Lethal Weapon? No, that's not it.

Oh screw it. I'm not going to waste all my time trying to think of what Road movie this cover reminds me of. Especially when there's so much else to talk about. For example, why is there a car being launched into orbit? And why does it look like only the tops of those buildings have been destroyed? And seriously, when you're living in a post-apocalyptic world is a red sports car really necessary? And what's with that title? Road Raider? This guy doesn't look like a raider to me. I don't know, maybe it's just me, but he looks more like a warrior ... like a road warrior. Oh wait, that's it, that's what I'm thinking of. This cover reminds me of Braveheart. No wait, that's not it. Oh forget it, let's just move on to the next crappy cover.
