From Google.com:
Cold Harvest (1999) is a B-movie, post-apocalyptic martial arts action flick directed by Isaac Florentine. Starring Gary Daniels, Bryan Genesse, and Barbara Crampton, it blends sci-fi tropes with a distinct "Wild West" frontier aesthetic. [1, 2, 3, 4]
The Plot
Set two years after a devastating comet struck Earth, humanity is largely wiped out by a lethal plague. Only seven immune humans are left who possess the antibodies to save the world. A ruthless warlord named "Little Ray" (Genesse) tries to hunt them down to rule over what's left of the planet. The story centers on Roland (Gary Daniels), a tough-talking bounty hunter who teams up with his pregnant sister-in-law, Christine (Crampton), to protect the unborn child, which holds the key to mankind's survival. [1, 5, 6]
Production and Style
Reception and Fan Consensus
Among action and B-movie fans, the film holds a unique reputation. Users on Reddit and classic B-movie sites generally agree that the plot is derivative of other 90s action films (like Cyborg) and the supporting characters are thin. However, there is a consensus that the martial arts choreography is excellent and the villain is highly entertaining, making it an enjoyable watch for fans of low-budget 90s action. [3, 4, 11]

Production and Style
- The Director: Isaac Florentine, known for his martial arts-heavy B-movies, brings a very stylish and kinetic feel to the film.
- Action: Despite its low budget and restricted locations (largely shot in South Africa), the fight choreography (by Akihiro Noguchi) is energetic and acrobatic.
- Style: It plays out more like an old spaghetti western—featuring duster coats, cigars, and quick-draw standoffs—rather than a traditional sci-fi. [1, 7, 10]
