I do enjoy the occasional retro futuristic Sci-fi flick, although, thanks to more recent films, it doesn't happen very often since "back in the day", they had little good ideas for what the future would actually bring.
This movie, however, is a bit of a downer, especially if you're interested in high tech stuff. I like electronics and computers, so the first thing I reacted to was that "Robotic hand". Sure, looks cool and that.
I could even buy the concept of lasers, mini-missiles and increased strength. Make sense that it would/could have. But, strong but here: When he's able to hold on to a car, without anything that would support this massive force from moving from that point, I lost all faith for the movie.
It's like that meme, somewhere in like Pakistan where you have three or four people pushing a stuck truck, trying to push it loose. Sure, makes perfect sense - Then you have this guy standing on the flatbed on the truck pushing on the chassis compartment where the driver sits, trying to assist - Anyone with a itty-bitty brain would understand that it's just not working.
This is the same thing with the robotic glove or whatever you want to call it. You need to anchor it somewhere (preferably an exoskeleton of some kind) in order to exceed the frailness of the human body, in this case being his torso, pelvis and subsequently legs, feet and finally shoes.
Stupid!
Next part, where the one of bad guys "hacks" the C. O. P. S database.
First off, the contents on that "menu" doesn't have much actual content.
Just entering a an account number, then a non-censored password (BURRO, assuming Spanish for Donkey, perhaps a reference to Mule..?) , followed by "Subject Name: Marion Simms" (seeing as how many people there are in the world, you'd think a simple first and last name would yield a large amount of possible "suspects", without any social security number or any other such identification), then entering "Crime Charged With: TREASON", "Courts Verdict: GUILTY, and finally "Sentence: DEATH".
I would never imagine it'd ever be that simple to have someone taken cared of, seeing as how you always need proof to your claims.
Oh well, moving on.
Actually, not much further. The acting is about what to expect from a B-movie, some can act, others just do what the director tells them to, at their best attempt to appease him, I guess?
You see actors, a lot of them shouldn't have even been cast to their respective roles.. As I said, I lost interest watching it, and thought I'd give a bit of a heads up here to others.
If you love/like Carradine - See it and disregard this.
If you want a good retro Sci-fi flick - Don't see this, move on!
There are a lot of goofs, strangely none have been reported. As of right now I've actually forgotten what it was, but that should also tell you a thing or two about the movie.
