Watched this for first time in many years today.
It hasn't aged well but it's a fun nostalgic film.
It blatantly rips off Robocop (even to the point it has a potential tape scene filmed with shadows against a wall like the famous Robocop "Let the woman go or there will be trouble). I guess it's ok as Robocop was in turn a rip off of comic book lawman Judge Dredd.
Great seeing guest actors from Phantasm, Day of the Dead, F13th's Jason, Evil Dead and Reanimator (scientist with zero back story or character development) show up. Even the FX guys have a scene in the elevator.
The gorgeous lead does a great job and is almost convincing as a badass female 'Punisher' type character. Athletic and attractive.
Grieco as Mad Dog (the main villain) brings a vast amount of Ham and cheese to every scene he's in. At one time he was a sex symbol I guess, but he was well past his sell by date in this. Podgy and receeding hair. Kinda cringe. Guess he came cheaply. Savini should have played his role Speaking of Tom. Tom Savini plays Mad Dog's right hand man and is always a pleasure to see. Even in those awful 90's suit with HUGE shoulder pads. Awful. Ha ha
Script is poor, unoriginal and budget is low. But the design team did a good job on the costume.
What the hell was going on with the squibs!? The bullet wounds are meant to shoot blood out not pink dust!? Every single person that hot shot just had clearly pink dust come out of the squib holes!?
It looked comical. At the very least it should have been red. Were the people in this world just dust bags?? Fail.
Bruce Campbell is always welcome in any film and he steals the scene he is in briefly. Probably as a favour for Kurtzman who directs btw.
It's an ok film. No classic. Has a small vult following. Mainly for the cameos I reckon.
If they had filmed the final scene that they planned and storyboard it would have ended far better rather than the rush job it felt like.
It was supposed to be a cool sword fight between Alyssa and Savini character but funds ran out so they just shot him and dust came out. Ha ha.
