I love the Terminator. I also enjoy watching Robocop(the first movie, not the horrendous sequels). So what happens when, after both films have cornered the market on the robotic cop/villain market, a group of illiterate rich Texans decide they can do better? You get R.O.T.O.R.! I rarely say with such steadfast excitement that this film is a complete pile of cinematic excrement, but worth the hour and a half that you will endure it. It wasn't the "hero" who looks more like the original Caliban from Clash of the Titans, WITH makeup. It wasn't the "scientist" who comes to his aid in the second half of the film, who appears to have consumed half of the protein shakes located on the East Coast. Nor is it the film's female "lead", spending most of the film driving away in "fear" with the pace of a gopher with hemorrhoids. It's R.O.T.O.R himself, and the scientific division of the Texas PD which had me in complete stitches. The robot is a hilarious mix of a Chippendale's dancer and a member of the Village People. The "science" department loves talking about theories which can't possibly exist. The smartest "person" and best actor is a robot who is given pretty free reign to oversee the R.O.T.O.R. project. No one can act in this film, and that's for the benefit of all. I was delighted that all of the "actors" involved were so invested in this film as they plod their way through every line with the excitement of a freshman year acting troupe. I highly reccomend sitting through this "film", as the "surprise" ending will make your nose bleed from laughter.
