This film had several different names whenever it came on television, and usually when I would watch it, it was titled RoboMan or something to such effect. I always loved the movie but whenever I would go looking for it, I could never find it because it wasn't actually called RoboMan (Not in the U. S., anyway).
I went on a deep search for the film one day looking for sci-fi movies by year and finally found it, and wondered if it was as good as I remembered it from all those years ago. And...
It was actually better than what I remembered. This film has awesome special effects, some gnarly gore and some cool action sequences. Also, unlike a lot of other low-budget fanfare from that era this film actually manages a very crisp pace so there's never a dull moment. It's superbly edited to manage a brisk runtime, all while still being able to tell an interesting story with some memorable action scenes accompanied by competent special effects.
I used to love this movie from way back when, and I was glad that it held up and I wasn't just remembering it through rose tinted glasses. It's well worth a watch if you're into films like a knockoff of RoboCop meets Toxic Avenger with a dash of Terminator.
