NOTES

You might idle the time away by spotting the rip-offs in this

truly awful film. You can add Mad Max and Alien for starters.

Guys wandering in some kind of red space desert (thanks to

lighting and filters) collecting junk find a robot. They take their

finds to a junk dealer. Now at this point I made a bet with

myself there would be a dwarf actor in this film. And yes it

was the junk dealer. The robot when reassembled goes on a

killing spree.

While most of the film appears to be set among the great

unwashed living on the street there is an odd mix of low tech

and high tech common to this type of film. One of the main

guys who is dressed in designer rags has a hi-tech prosthetic

hand.

Overall it's dark and dirty and appears to be making some

point about population growth and control.
