    Low budget Corman film about 30 year old teenagers locked in a mall overnight with killbots that look a lot like Johnny 5. A Cheesefest worth a look for some laughs... with lines like "We're gonna send these robots a Rambo-gram", you have to give it a little credit...

    I cant help but chuckle a bit when this movie is mentioned in a conversation. As sad as some may think, I showed up early to a Best Buy when I found out that this movie was being released on DVD. I got a few weird looks. But this movie is classic. Robots, lasers, cliche dialogue ...( read more)and a head exploding scene that rivals most, make this film one of those hidden treasures that not too many people know about. I'd recommend giving it a view.

    Johnny 5 is alive & he's gonna fucking kill you. Malls of the 80s it sorta reminded me of a robot version of Dawn of the Dead. Some of the kills are okay (I loved the exploding head) but the best thing about Chopping Mall (besides its title) are the cameos of Roger Corman regul...( read more)ars like Paul Bartel, Mary Woronov & especially Dick Miller.

    hmmmmm this movie is horrible but i kind of like it as well. Take a "Revenge of the Nerds" soundtrack, C3PO on heroin, an excellent cameo by Dick Miller, some pretty loserish action/kill sequences, asswipe characters, some brief but sweet T@A and a SLIM runtime and there you ha...( read more)ve CHOPPING MALL all wrapped up nice and easy. Not recommended unless you have a taste for this kind of shit and i mean shit pretty literally.

    Short Circuit-like robots gone bad. Plenty of nudity and cheesy dialogue for a B-level 80s horror film. For the squeamish, we've got one exploding head.
