Robowar (1988)

Robowar is a delightfully inept rip-off of 1987’s Predator. The monster looks silly, the dialogue will have you scratching your head, the action is over-the-top and there’s hardly any attempt to be original - all of which contribute it to being “so bad it’s good”.

On an unnamed island, Major Marphy Black (Reb Brown) and B.A.M. (Big Ass Motherf*ckers) - a group of elite specialist commandos - are sent on a secret mission. Only Mascher (Mel Davidson) knows that there's an even deadlier threat than the guerrillas torching villages and attacking civilians: Omega-1. This indestructible and invincible machine is their true objective.

No, I didn’t make any typos in my description of the film. The laughs begin as soon as we meet our heroes: Marphy “Killzone” Black, Pvt. Larry “Diddy Bop” Guarino (Massimo Vanni), Cp. Neil Corey (Romano Puppo), Alfred “Papa Doc” Bray (John P. Dulaney), Sunny “Blood” Peel (Jim Gaines) and Nung “Quang” Quo (Max Laurel) some of these fools obviously got to pick their own nicknames. Others? not so much. Even the worst one isn’t as bad as “Virgin” (Catherine Hickland) - who plays essentially the same role as Elpidia Carrillo did in Predator. Now to be fair, sometimes the dialogue refers to these people under different names but this is what they’re credited as and it’s much funnier to think of them this way.

Usually, you want to turn on the subtitles while watching a bad movie. It allows you to more easily follow the plot while you’re busy making jokes. For Robowar, I recommend that you do not. The main reason is Omega-1. This laughable opponent - a “robot” that looks like an overdressed Road Warrior reject - constantly babbles robo-jargon and if you don’t know what it’s actually saying, it sounds like it’s calling everything in sight “greasy”. The laughs never stop. The most surprising thing about Robowar is that director Bruno Mattei - under the alias Vincent Dawn - did not give his monster the ability to turn invisible. It would’ve done wonders for the film because the android pitted against B.A.M. (remember, it stands for Big Ass Motherf*ckers) is not the least bit intimidating. Sure, it’s got firepower. In fact, it annihilates every building and vehicle in sight with ease thanks to the blasters it has mounted on its arm - and possibly the gun it carries too - but the thing’s vision (which we get to see all the time to preserve the mystery of what it looks like, Predator-style) is so bad it’s a wonder it can even walk in a straight line, much less find a target.

This film shamelessly steals. Remember that scene when Arnold Scwarzenegger’s Dutch and his comrades fired aimlessly into the jungle, hoping to hit their unseen enemy? This movie does it TWICE! The attack on the village of guerillas that culminates in a thrown knife and a great one-liner? Reb Brown does his best imitation but he’s got no charisma, whatsoever. The scene where Sonny Landham’s Billy defiantly stayed behind to face the creature? This movie does that too, but since they don’t have any Native Americans in the crew, a Philippino guy will do instead. Even individual lines are reworded and vomited on-screen by the actors, which makes the film even funnier if you’re intimately familiar with the 1987 action sci-fi classic.

The only thing preventing me from giving Robowar a higher rating is that there is a part during the middle when it begins to sag. A lot of this film is people wandering in the jungle, stumbling upon some admittedly well-done corpses (the handiwork of some mysterious creature… oooooh!). It allows you to get all the jokes you’ll have out no problem but can make the 92 minutes feel a little long. Fear not, however, as the ending is hilarious. There are a lot of laughs in Robowar. None of them are intentional, but that’s totally fine with me. (August 18, 2022)

Yes to all of it. We oldies remember the days when we actually owned the programs we used instead of renting them off of the websites. Because that's what it is...we are forced to rent and keep paying rent on shit like Adobe Photoshop/Illustrator (and even our own damn simple functionality of connecting our computers to the internet. I was horrified to find that I couldn't just connect without the fucking cloud shit saving every little thing that I did ("OneDrive" SUCKS SO MUCH!).) As if we don't pay enough rent as renters, or even homeowners who RENT the fucking equipment in order to get internet service (with the fucking rental fee for the fucking modem).

This is fucking greed

It's FUCKING GREED.

My 81yo father is a graphic artist (as well as a microbiologist and botanist) and he's complaining that his Photoshop doesn't work now. I told him that he needs to download the legacy CS2 (or 5 or whatever it is) and use that for free since the Adobe mfs are charging people rent now. CS2 is what I use. I OWNED THE DISK. Anyone can find the program online somewhere, find an old password crack, and get in.

When I was dirt poor and just getting my first computer out here on the West Coast, it came with a shitty Adobe program that was LIKE Photoshop; not as extensive (PhotoDesign? I forget what it's called now), but it still had layers...it was kind of like MSPaint but with layers and 50% more functionality. It was somewhere between Paint and Photoshop, but it worked just fine bc I could create the same things that I could if I had PS.

I wrote some pretty raunchy ABC Daytime Soap fic back in 1999 (the sex in there would put everything in Afterburn to shame). And I mean stuff that WOULD get me on the antis Wanted Posters. I used that shitty program to make the headers (yes, my fic had headers BACK THEN). I don't remember what website hosted them but it was one that accepted adult-oriented NSFW things/fic...it was an NSFW web host, if I recall I was formatting and FTP'ing it all and had a little website. I was even chatting with Catherine Hickland about getting her own website up and running because I was such a fan boy and back then it wasn't too weird to communicate directly with celebrities (I emailed Kate Mulgrew in 1997 because I found her Paramount address somehow, and she freaking responded to me 💀). Cat had no idea I was writing dark smut though, thank the gods. But anyway, I made all my headers, buttons, character bios, etc. with the free program that came with the printer and the headers looked no different in quality than the headers I make today. 1999 or 2024, just give me a simple program with layers and fonts and I'll make it work.

Ignorance is a product of laziness, not limitation. (Thanks, Cairo.)

Download legacy programs that you can get to work. Use them, and stop paying rent to The Man.

It should be illegal to require that any device or software connect to the internet just to run. I shouldn't need to log in with microsoft to open any of their programs on my local computer. All games should be playable without access to an online server. All media you pay for should be downloadable to local disk as a raw file and if they don't like that because they know you'll share it and upload it, tough shit. They took your money already, they'll live.
