“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds."

In the 1960's, directors were switching from nudies to horror. In the 1990's, Fred Olen Ray made the switch the other direction. This is probably the last film he made that wasn't just soft core titillation, directed to fill time late at night on new cable and satellite television stations. That said, there's no doubt where he was headed when he made this film, about recovering stolen robot hookers. Ray knew that science fiction was hard to do on a budget, so this is very tongue-in-cheek and it kinda works. Some of the amusement for me in all Ray films are the styles seen - in this film, you not only see bad hair and clothing choices, but you see that plastic surgeons had some odd ideas about what breasts should look like.
