This is one of those so-bad-it's-kinda-good movies that you can't help liking, despite all its shortcomings. Basic plot: The year is 2047, and there's a mean guy enslaving androids for his own evil purposes (played by the brilliantly hammy John Savage). Of course there are some rebels also, led by the android Robert Carradine, with some help from a reluctant jazz-musician, whose cop-twin brother was snuffed by the bad guys!

Bentley Mitchum was actually quite likeable as the leading actor, I wonder whatever happened to his career... 10 years after making this movie he was demoted to barely getting a minor part (as a wimpy deputy) in "Walking Tall 2: The Payback", but here he was really fun to watch, in a dual role playing two twin brothers - having relations with two women as well (Sherrie Rose being one of them), which gives a few akward moments.

Overall, not completely terrible, but by no means a good movie! And look out for those "Howie Screams" throughout - seems they couldn't afford using a sound designer, so they just used stock audio instead! :'D.
