Audience Member Hands Of Steel R (nudity and killing) - Fantasy and robots Sciencefiction Monsters Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/28/24 Full Review Audience Member Silly Italian sci-fi rip off of "The Terminator" and "The Six Million Dollar Man." Daniel Greene plays a cyborg (80% robot, 20% human) programmed to kill a scientist, but when he fails his mission he hides out in the desert with a small community of people. Some of those people are bullies and jerks who do an awful lot of arm wrestling, which is not something you should do when you challenge someone with Hands of Steel! It's a dumb story, with bad acting (except for George Eastman as one of the local toughs), and a misleading poster (I was thinking this was going to be an Italian Mad Max post-apocalyptic rip-off movie). On the plus side, John Saxon appears in the film as the sole name actor. Also, the film was directed by Sergio Martino ("Torso" "2019: After the Fall of New York"), so it's a director who knows his way around a good violent story, but overall this is a pretty weak film, even for fans of this type of nonsense. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Budget Italian-American Terminator rip-off/cash-in, although it's ultimately a vintage '80s action flick that astoundingly blends Cyborg with Over The Top and pumps out an excellent soundtrack too!

It rips of Terminator, has arm wrestling competitions, shit special effects, the legend that is John Saxon and a manhunt. The drag through the desert really cracked me up. The balls. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member I would have to say that Hands of Steel (AKA Vendetta Dal Futuro, AKA Arms of Steel, AKA Atomic Cyborg, AKA Return of the Terminator) is one of the more entertaining bad movies that I've seen lately. It has all the ingredients to be a totally boring action movie, but it has stuff coming right out of left field to keep you awake. It also not only is a ripoff of The Terminator, but also many other action movies at the time. Not only do you get a human cyborg, but you also get a redneckathon with lots of arm wrestling, tow trucking and 18 wheeling hijinks. Don't get me wrong though. It's definitely not a good movie, but it has plenty of WTF moments, craziness and unintentional comedy to keep you entertained. It also has John Saxon in it.
