“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."

Droid (1988)
aka Droids
One of the most common comments about a cheaply made film is "It looks like someone edited all the sex out of a porno." Well, that's exactly what this is! The film "Cabaret Sin" and its sequel were spliced together (reportedly via VCR) with all the sex scenes removed, which makes a barely coherent plot even harder to follow. There's a McGuffin called a decoder that is sought by a policeman in the future and there's something about an android revolt and renegade cops, there's also a subplot involving an estranged spouse, but mostly our hero gets distracted by going to clubs and watching strippers and sex shows. The film has some really good props for cheapo science fiction, especially given that it was meant as porn, but the acting is of course porn-level. This has a sizable cult following, some who think it's a classic of good-bad films; I think it's passable.
