The Demolitionist

Yeeesh...a rating of 4!? What's with *that*? This is one of the most hilariously terrible action sci-fi movies ever made, my friends and brothers. Lets talk about effects. Yes..the blood is actually *smoke powder* which seems to leak from the villains once they're shot. Terrible explosions and pyrotechnics, including inexcusably horrible gunfire effects. The acting is terrible, and will haunt your nightmares. You have been forewarned, comrades. Be wary!

I know his name isn't on the listing of producers, if the content was any indication, it sure should have been a Roger Corman production. If you like his work, this is a good choice for you. I'm willing to bet that he could have done it for a lot less than the 1 million that this cost.

Overall, not a bad film but not that good either. Shades of Robocop here, a bit of Borg technology there, but I thought it failed to gel into an enjoyable whole. Richard Grieco was nasty, but not nasty enough. The mayor was a joke. The acting on the whole was below par. The heroine wiped out the bad guys too easily (doesn't she ever reload?). She should have at least been stabbed or shot a few times to show her super quick healing powers in action. No chance of that though with her armour. I guess given a low budget they didn't do too badly, but the outcome was merely average. Watch out for the grisly ending!

Some female cop is murdered and is brought back as a cyborg to avenge her murder. As anyone can guess, Demolishonist is the feminist equivalency of Robocop except it is vastly cheesier, cheaper and doesn't have the spark that Robocop does which is no surprise to even a brain dead moron. This is the whole aspect of "making a female version of" garbage and you'll see quite often in movies and comics and it's only purpose is to please fat, ugly feminists so they can feel empowered. "Look at her kill all those men. Yay!" Still, Demolitionist is a fun piece of caca with some decent action and a nice "so bad it's good" vibe. My only real complaint is it looks like a "made-for-TV" movie the way it was shot. But, overall, it didn't ruin the film. So if you like Robocop on the rag or movies with a cyberpunk theme, then this is worth a go.

Loses two stars for the bad ending. Of course they had to make room for a sequel. And this one... are you ready for it? Promises to be even MORE rock-n-roll bad ass... etc. Up to the bad end, deserved seven stars. Wry, dark humor. Goofy fun. The movie-makers even began to use the favorite device of The Firesign Theater; which is background comments. These comments are subtly funny. Early mention of nanos. Hints of necrophilia by the scientist. Still gets five stars. Average fun movie.
