It was better back when it was released. Trust me, its not as good as you remember. Peter Weller stars in this self-aware film about a half-robot/half-man cop. The graphic violence isn’t nearly as disturbing as the pompous “social commentary” that drags the film down. If you’ve already seen the film, do not watch it again. You will only ruin the memory.

I do have to say that Kurtwood Smith is so absolutely perfect in his role as the smarmy villain Clarence J. Boddicker. "Guns! Guns! Guns!"

What a delicious piece of camp this one turned out to be. If you haven't seen it and you like films that are a little off-centered, this is a great pick. If there was ever an actor born to play a genius rock star/neurosurgeon/adventurer who fights shape shifting, crusty aliens all named John, that actor is Peter Weller.
