      Audience Member This is a movie to watch while high or drunk with the expectation of a terrible plot. If it was a little better (or a little worse) it would have a cult following. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member I was kind of expecting a sci-fi Full Moon Pictures-style version of "Ms. .45" but the end result did not seem very sci-fi at all and was more just a very dull routine revenge story. Lots of gory special effects and a surprisingly respectable cast the includes Bruce Davison, David Naughton, Frank Pesce, and Stacy Haiduk (who I'd forgotten about but remember having a crush on when "SeaQuestDSV" was on TV). Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member "I won't castrate my art!"-Alison River (Stacy Haiduk) Forget about the story and logic, it's all about the 80's special effects. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member A decent and obscure little flick about an undead cyborg woman, equipped with a shitload of deadly gadgets, killing off the guys who raped her in her previous life. The whole movie feels like a low-budget rape/revenge thriller with a femme fatale version of the Terminator, nevertheless it is pretty fun and entertaining. Most of the killing scenes were hilarious and way over-the-top, one even included a man with inflatable breasts. The makeup and special effects are really good considering this is a B-movie from the early 90's. I've also found some of the dialogue to be quite witty, especially during the ending scene. It is pretty hard to come by nowadays, I believe it never received a DVD release. If you stumble upon this title, and you're a fan of cheesy, low-budget sci-fi, I assure it will at least be an entertaining watch. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member A NASA scientist turns his sister into a cyborg after she commits suicide following a devastating rape trial verdict. The cyborg then goes about killing those responsible. Surely made to cash in on Robocop and better than Robocop 2. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member When justice fails, former NASA scientist settles for revenge after his sister's rape and suicide by a gang of corporate bad guys. Always nice to have David Naughton checking in from time to time on any film project. Menacing corporate logo clearly indicates this firm could use a better marketing team.
