Cannon had already spent $2 million on costumes and sets for both films and decided to start a new project in order to recoup that money. Cannon, however, was in financial trouble and had to cancel deals with both Mattel and Marvel Entertainment Group, the owners of He-Man and Spider-Man, respectively. Both projects were planned to be shot simultaneously by Albert Pyun.

However, Fender gets back up, and they continue to battle in a nearby shed, where Gibson finally kills Fender by impaling him on a meat hook. Thinking him dead, Gibson embraces Haley, who, during the battle turned decisively against Fender. Gibson in turn stabs Fender in the chest. During their fight, Nady rushes Fender with a knife, but he stabs and kills her. Fender's gang is taken down one by one until he and Gibson face off. Gibson and Nady intercept Fender once again in Atlanta, this time better prepared.
Finally, Nady appears out of the marsh to free him.
The mast snaps, sending him crashing to the ground, his arms still tied and nailed to the cross. In the morning, near death, he kicks the mast repeatedly with his dangling foot in a last fit of rage. Haley lingers at the scene but still leaves with Fender. Gibson is thoroughly beaten by Fender and crucified high on the mast of a beached, derelict ship. Tired, wounded and badly outnumbered, Gibson flees with Nady through the sewer into a salt marsh, where they are pursued by the rest of the pirates and eventually separated from each other. She says she will go along with Fender and lure him to his death in Atlanta, where she has resources at her disposal. Pearl refuses to go with him - she calculates that Gibson is not strong enough to defeat Fender and will be unable to get her to Atlanta safely. He flees the pirates and ends up alone with Pearl and Nady. Now nursing a gunshot wound, Gibson realizes Haley (his dead lover's younger sister whom Fender kidnapped) is now a loyal member of Fender's crew. Intercepting Fender and his crew near Charleston, South Carolina, Gibson defeats most of his men, but Fender shoots him with an air rifle. After declining sex with Nady, Gibson reveals that all he cares about is revenge against Fender, who killed his lover and destroyed his chance to have a normal life and family. Concerned for Nady, Gibson unsuccessfully attempts to convince her to stay away. Gibson and Nady trek southward through the wastelands, where bandits ambush them. Gibson is less concerned with a cure for the plague than with killing Fender. Nady, whose family was wiped out by the plague, joins Gibson. She turns out to be Nady Simmons, a young woman who mistook him as a pirate. A shadowy figure attacks him, but he disables her. Gibson, who had been tracking the pirates, arrives at the scene of slaughter later that night. They head south for Atlanta via the Intracoastal Waterway with the captive Pearl. Fender demands that she accompany him to Atlanta or die.įender's gang slaughters a family and steals their boat. After she explains her situation, they are overrun by Fender's gang, and Gibson is knocked out by falling debris. She gets cornered but is saved by a slinger named Gibson Rickenbacker. Strat, badly injured while fighting the pirates, tells Pearl to leave him and find a mercenary, known as a "slinger", who can escort her to safety. Fender wants the cure so he can have a monopoly on its production. Pearl, accompanied by bodyguard Marshall Strat, retrieves the data in New York but is pursued by the vicious Fender Tremolo and his gang of pirates. Pearl Prophet volunteers for the dangerous courier mission and is made into a cyborg through surgical augmentation. To complete their work they need information stored on a computer system in New York City. A small group of surviving scientists and doctors - located in Atlanta, home of the CDC - work on a cure to save what remains of humanity. A plague known as the living death cripples civilization.
