one reel

After a nuclear war, the remaining, now-sterile humans are kept in camps by androids. Mary is still fertile, and she must take her fetus to a ship sailing for Europe. She is hunted by a killer android but protected by a barbarian kick boxer.

What is it about cyborgs and martial arts? When I make a killer cyborg, I’m going to install lots of powerful lasers instead of teaching him kick boxing. I’ll also call him an android, something the makers of American Cyborg: Steel Warrior should have done as there are no cyborgs in the film. Robots are not cyborgs. I’d think with the massive profits from genius works like this, the filmmakers could afford a dictionary. Well, maybe not.

There isn’t a plot beyond taking the smiling fetus in a bag across town. The rest is just fight scenes and very brief discussions of the future of the human race (it’s dependent on the fetus in a bag). Did you notice I said a fetus in a bag?  Yes, she’s carrying it in bag, but it appears happy about that as it’s smiling. That is way more disturbing than the killer cybo…er…android.

Actually, the big, unstoppable android looks like a British banker who bleaches his hair. If he had been a banker, he would have done better as then he would have known how to use a telephone to call for help. In a world ruled by “cyborgs,” it is bad tactics to use only one to stop the threat of the jolly unborn. But perhaps the other banker-androids don’t like sloshing through the sewers, construction sights, and warehouses of the future.
