“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."

R.O.T.O.R. (1987)
How bad is it? It's solidly in the IMDB Bottom 100 films.

This film is a straight Robocop imitation, that also manages to rip-off The Terminator, Short Circuit and Judge Dredd - none successfully. There's some funny sight gags and some funny sci-fi dialog. The star also produced and the screenwriter also did the production design; it shows. The beginning of the film gives away the ending, the robot is activated by a Native American named Shoeboogie misplacing headphones (I'm not making this up), the robot can see into the past by removing his sunglasses - technical marvel, that - and then there's a truly terrible hero and spouted technobabble. It would make a good MST3K film.

Hey there, I just caught ROTOR and am still trying to work out what the hell the film makers were going for.
ReplyDeleteIt's so random!
Can I ask, what made you decide to watch this one?
I'm curious to find out why some dodgy films end up finding an audience!
Cheers
How about RiffTrax? It's out there now
