Mark 13 is a government-built killing machine programmed with artificial intelligence, able to repair and recharge itself from any energy source. Through a series of coincidences, the cyborg's head ends up in the home of a sculptress as a bizarre Christmas present from her boyfriend. Once inside its new home, the cyborg promptly reconstructs the rest of its body using a variety of household utensils and proceeds to go on a murderous rampage.

Apart from some cameos (including Lemmy - and the associated Motorhead songs) this could be the same as any other cyborg gone crazy movie from the 90's. And if you are a Motorhead fan, it's still not worth it - 2 songs in 90 minutes of yawn. On the bright side, it does remind me that the lack of imagination we are seeing in the last 10 years of movies is actually nothing new - it existing 25 years ago as well. And that I should listen to more Motorhead (I'm not a fan, but they are pretty great). Nothing to see here folks, move along.

An effective atmosphere. The atmosphere is Blade runner on a budget. I think the look may have effected this movies response years ago as a cheap imitation of many other movies and as poor due to expectations. Maybe people wanted something like the terminator or alien but they got... hardware. I think this movie looks good though. Dystopian ages well and this is some of the best. 1990, so some of that 80's cheese feel is still present. It's essentially an old MTV cyber punk video. Is the movie any good? Well it's slow and it's simple but it's not as boring as I thought it would be (again it's the visuals and even sound that are pleasing.) The movie has a small perverted voyeuristic element which is also funny. This movie doesn't take itself serious at all sometimes. The robot is pretty limited in its actions but I think the budget was very low. When the robot appears it's suddenly pure B movie.

Just awesome. PIL (Johnny Rotten) & Ministry soundtrack. Iggy Pop, Lemmy and more cameos. Cyber Punk, post-apocalyptic aesthetic. Insert explicative here.

Dystopian desert scavengers unearth the remains of a beaten-up hunter droid and drag it, in pieces, back to civilization. There, the skull-faced deathbot is incorporated into an artist's canvas and accidentally re-activated, whereupon he initiates a self-repair protocol and indiscriminately slaughte More

IMO - It's not terrible but not a masterpiece either. I personally liked the villain robot, and a lot of the movies' aesthetics were just pure eye candy.

That aside, the movie was a little too slow paced for the style that it was going with, and some of the music and sound effects were a little More
