if EfllTSS BHE WAR IS OVER, but the real battle has just begun!" Those fightin words grace the print ads for New World's The Annihilators, a kind of "Rambo Meets Death Wish 3 by Way of the Exterminator 2" and one of four new movies (to quote Roger and Gene) we'll be reviewing this busy 'B' week here Cen- at Phantom tral. 1W Robert GlaudinI (as Delgatto the magician), even though he'd previously appeared in Empire's own self-descriptive "Parasite" a couple of years back. If Empire has to start stealing from itself, then its really headed for trouble! COMING DETRACTIONS The Thalia Soho. 15 Vandam St, continues its drive-in movie festival tomorrow with "Teenage Caveman" and "Drag Strip Girl." The special shock and schlock series, featuring 18 junk pic classics from American International Pictures (AIP) runs each Thursday through Feb. 27, and includes such other drive-in winners as "The Day the World Ended," "The Cool and the Crazy" (a long-time Phantom fave), and, of course, the unforgettable "Saga of the Viking Women and their Journey to the Waters of the Great Sea Serpent" Admission is $5 per double bill.

And the first Phantom T-shirt of the New Year goes to Eric Savage of Manhattan. Send your fave junk-movie line (and T-shirt size) to "Wish I'd Said That" Phantom of the Movies, co The Daily News, 220 E. 42d St, New York, N.Y. 10017. "The Annihilators" are a quartet of macho 'Nam vets (including Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs, of "Wel come Back, Kotter" fame) who want to wipe out the vicious street gang who offed their ex-buddy Joe.

The toughs, led by the psychopathic RoyBoy (Paul Koslo), aren't as numerous as Bronson's foes, but they're every bit as mean: They torture paraplegics, rape and murder innocent women, and even kick a defenseless teddy bear down the street Since the police, as always, are "handcuffed by the courts," our heroes waste no time in training fed-up area residents in the art of fighting back, at which point the celluloid blood belatedly but copiously flows. While "The Annihilators" makes sure to leave no urban-action cliche unturned, its gradual buildup, professional thesping and token nods at continuity at least place it a notch above "Death Wish 3" and others of this concrete-Western ilk. Thumbs sideways, then, for "The Annihilators." Drac Like Me: The Phantom found it hard to fathom why most mainstream critics turned thumbs down on Enemy Mine. Despite occasional static stretches, lapses in logic and descents into dumb dialogue, Wolfgang Petersen's gala space opera is an entertaining exercise in high-tech sci-fi pulp. Louis Gossett Jr.

gives a winning performance as the hermaphroditic "Drac" Jeriba, an alien fighter pilot downed on a barren asteroid, who's forced to cooperate with his stranded human counterpart Willis Davidge (Dennis Quaid). The pair forge a survival bond that gradually grows into a genuine friendship. Though $33-million movies are normally a bit rich for the Phantom's blood (Type of course), "Enemy Mine" plays like a well-crafted movie. It's even better than 1964's similarly themed "Robinson Crusoe on Mars," and how many recent sci-fi flicks have earned that distinction? Scram: Byron Quisenberry's Scream, a numb-ingly inept nonmovie, is a moldy oldie (the pic's scratchy print carries a 1981 copyright) that's been re titled (from "The and released as a "first-run" flick. The slender (not to say emaciated) premise involves several vacationers who visit a remote Old West ghost town where they're bumped off far too slowly (offscreen, no The flick is so lifeless that the Phantom wondered whether Quisenberry and crew even had their Panaflexes pointed in the right direction.

"Scream" not only squanders 81 minutes' worth of perfectly good film stock but wastes the rusty talent of such beloved vets as Hank Worden, Woody Strode, Alvy Moore, and Gregg Palmer (best remembered for his moving portrayal of an ambulatory tree in 1957's arboreal horror "From Hell It The Alchemist, the latest loser from Empire Pictures which specializes in reverse alchemy, ripping off golden hits like "The Terminator" and turning them into leaden junk like "Future Cop" isn't an outright steal from a current pic, but it's sufficiently lame in its own right The flick leans on traditional celluloid lycanthrope lore. In 1871, mountain man Aaron is cursed to "live like an animal and kill forever." The nonaction shifts to 1955, when a wandering waitress who's the image of ageless Aaron's long-dead wife finds herself drawn to his cabin, where there ensues an exceedingly dull struggle for the wench's (a) body and (b) souL The painfully padded script calls for last-reel cameos by Empire's standard slew of monster models on a lightning-lit hellscape that looks like it was left over from "Dungeonmas-ter."
