The one I saw most recently was an Italian version, true to the "spaghetti" form and filmed inexpensively, I believe, in Spain or northern Africa. The title escapes me at present. The most memorable was WARLORDS OF THE 21ST CENTURY, which made it to cable TV, and was made in New Zealand. (It was fun to try to figure out where it was filmed while watching; certainly the plot didn't get in the way.) The story was highly predictable, but there were some interesting moments. I can't remember any of the cast except that John Ratzenberger played a minor character. (He's Cliff in "Cheers".) Michael C.
