    More inept straight to video tosh from Tom Selleck in which an evil mastermind played by Gene Simmons (yes, that one!) tries to kill people with meccano. Silly.

    Decent 80's Sci-Fi Cop movie with Tom Selleck's Mustache and Gene Simmon's tongue. Not bad, really liked it when I was 9. I remember there were cool little robotic spiders.

    Tom Sellecks likable performance helps this movie out a lot. It is badly dated, but was probably pretty cool in 1984. It does have a decent pace, but is also a bit too predictable. Decent, and it is imaginative.

    Perfect ending scene of Tom Selleck further smudging Cynthia Rhodes dirty face.

    A bullet with you name on it...or precisely a genetic marker, DNA tracker...either way one smart bullet

    Did everyone involved in this film try extra hard to make it one of the worst ever?
    It's not just bad it's outstandingly bad. In fact, I'd actually recommend watching it just to see how bad films can be. Think about it, a studio green lit it, producers found money to finance it t...( read more)hen gathered a cast and crew to make it. I hope they're all deeply ashamed at the very least.

    Watching Gene Simmons try to act is like watching him try to make music, sickening, but he was just the cherry atop this shit sundae.

    Interesting ideas but poorly handled....

    I remember watching this as a kid. It was okay. Had a decent plot. The killer robots were kind of neat but the affects were okay for the time it was made. It doesn't really hold up for it's time.
