The last time I saw this was at LEAST 20 years ago and I didn't really remember much of it. I do like corny movies generally so hey, why not check it out again.
The premise of this movie is kind of like Robocop which came out a year later but is superior in every possible way. Instead of being a city patrol, it's robots that patrol a mall. They "neutralize" intruders. But then if you get hit by lightning...
Listen, this movie is only 76 minutes and it still feels about 40 minutes too long. It's basically one long chase sequence with horrific special effects and really bad dialogue. Also bad haircuts.
But the worst part of this movie, the greatest SIN it commits, is the guy chewing gum. Dear lord, can you keep your mouth closed when you chew? Why is there so much LIP SMACKING? It's my nightmare and by far the worst thing I've heard in any movie ever. This dude should get an Oscar for Most Annoying Gum Chewing. I hate it.

Even watching with buds isn't going to save this one. Thank you, come again.
