Summary: A wandering soldier finds a robot head in the post-apocalyptic desert. He brings it back to his girlfriend for use in one of her sculptures... (imdb)
Dull story directed in the style of an 'edgy' late-80s music video. Occasionally offers glimpses of a wider post-apocalyptic world but mostly it's a few people being chased round an apartment by a scary robo-monster.
Dark and grimy, this low budget cyberpunk flick looks like it was shot through a red filter and despite the campy premise it's played pretty seriously. The attention to small details make the world seem a lot bigger and more realistic than the budget would suggest. A cool little cult movie with some quality gore and cameos from Lemmy and Iggy Pop.
The killer robot doesn't really do anything until the last third of the movie, which isn't a problem by itself; a lot of other, good movies do the same thing. The problem here is that the characters are not interesting or strong enough to carry the film through the first two thirds. Honestly, I hated all of the characters; I found them very obnoxious, and their behavior is often plain stupid. I couldn't empathize or identify with any of them; could just be me though.
One of my favorite cult films. It's not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but what it lacks in narrative and scope is largely rectified by its at once unique and inspired atmosphere. It's a unique vision of the post-apocalyptic future that wears its influences on its sleeve, but Richard Stanley adds enough of his own eclectic touch to make things interesting. The soundtrack, comprised of both original and licensed tracks, is excellent.
A lot sillier than I expected. Some of the characters were annoying or behaved in a puzzling manner, which strained my attention-span. Still, the good parts are pretty fun to watch and I never slipped into outright boredom or irritation.
Vision of the future, virtually unseeable amid the monochrome, the shadows, the smoke, not to forget the mattress feathers. The story could hardly be plainer.
While it's obviously far from being a good movie, I'd say it's still worth seeing for it's great viual design, overall quirkiness and guest appearences of Iggy Pop and Lemmy.

Trippy post-apocalyptic cyberpunk extravaganza. Terrible film, but in a good way. I remembered it for the 15 years after the first watch, and I am sure I'll remember it in 15 years from now.
