I am looking for what I'm pretty sure was a movie. I remember seeing it late at night in the '90s, because I had severe insomnia. People lived in this huge, fortress-like city, and outside it was a wasteland. In this wasteland, there were mutated humans who were violent. People had to have what looked like a colored glow stick on their chest to identify who they could date/have kids with, in order to prevent the children from mutating. This could have been from anywhere between the mid '80s to mid '90s.

3@WoJ - typically we close story-id questions as duplicates only if both the dupe and target have the same accepted answer– fezAug 29, 2022 at 10:47

1@fez: ahhh, I get it - THIS question needs to have the right accepted answer. OK, sorry. (I was frantically clicking on the suggested dupes and was wondering if I am the only one to see the same answer as accepted :) And also wondering why it is not marked as a dupe yet despite every planet being aligned. Now I understand that one of the planets is still off course (Pluto, probably))– WoJAug 29, 2022 at 12:23

Island City (1994)
In this wasteland, there were mutated humans who were violent.
In the future, humanity develops a "fountain of youth" drug, but as many people around the world begin to take it, most begin to mutate into a barbaric proto-humanoid state.
People had to have what looked like a colored glow stick on their chest to identify who they could date/have kids with, in order to prevent the children from mutating.
Citizens of the city wear a colored crystal on their sternum based on the individual's genetic makeup, and can mate only with other citizens of the same color. Progeny resulting from people of two different colors would have the genetic mutation that, when combined with the "fountain of youth" drug, created the race of proto-humanoids.
It’s available on Youtube.

Intriguing premise. Too bad the execution didn't carry its weight. Aug 29, 2022 at 20:44
