“One things for sure; Thereu0026#39;s never a dull moment in this awesome B-movie from Sergio Martino!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe story centres around a Cyborg with a conscience who goes on the run after deliberately failing his mission to assassinate a blind professor. None too impressed by this sudden humanitarian leaning however, the cyborgsu0026#39; boss (John Saxon) decides to have our hero wiped out.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMeanwhile our cyborg seeks solace at a diner in the middle of the Arizona desert where he hopes to be left alone. Unfortunately, he just seems to attract trouble like a dog turd does flies and even in this desolate location he manages to get on the wrong side of some local truckers headed by big George Eastman who challenges our hero to an arm wrestling bout.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eVarious bar brawls and further trouble ensue until a sadistic hit-man and the corporate goons eventually catch up with our man and attempt to take care of him for good.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOK so itu0026#39;s obvious that this was made on the cheap but frankly who cares; the action never lets up for a second and is backed by a cool thumping Claudio Simonetti score throughout.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eDaniel Greene is admittedly wooden as the lead but nonetheless proves to be perfect physically for the role whilst the supporting cast are all fine and itu0026#39;s always a pleasure to see the lovely Janet Agren on screen.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWatch out also for a direct scene lift from the Terminator where our hero performs some self surgery on his forearm!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTremendously enjoyable from start to finish! If only all films were this much fun!”
