You could say this is a rip-off of The Terminator, Over the Top and Universal Soldier, but it predates two of them...
Paco Queruak (Daniel Greene) was trained, programmed and fitted with the tools to assassinate Arthur Mosely (Franco Fantasia) a scientist, reverend and politician who can save all mankind from a respiratory terminal disease that is wiping out the city. Queruak's last minute decision to pull his blow after punching Mosely in the heart saves the old man's life, or maybe it was because Queruak actually punched him in the penis and not the heart. Either way the cyborg assassin is now on the run from the authorities and the agency who created him. Finding refuge in an isolated bar he meets his love interest Linda (Janet Agren), but now he must also contend with the local arm-wrestling truckers. Will Paco use his robotic skeleton to defeat all comers or will he chop logs and arm wrestle?
Apart from some dodgy plot holes, the lab of Prof. Olster (Donald O'Brien) made from some exploding tubes and people randomly sprinting for no reason, this is actually quite an entertaining film. The atmosphere is quality in this movie, a dark dystopian city vibe, followed by a roughneck truck stop, both settings fit the film perfectly. The music is excellent, the acting is hit or miss, with some classic B-movie stars like John Saxon as Francis Turner and George Eastman as Raul Morales. The dialogue is kept to a minimum which works well and adds to the atmosphere. The story is simple and works, ending is a bit bizarre. If you like cheesy B-Movies or want to watch the alternative adventure of a T800 then give this a watch. I want to see more Daniel Greene.
Cheesemelt to watch out for: this film has quite a lot of the cheese. The death punch is definitely worthy. Prof. Olster's hospital scene when he is describing what happened to him, trust me it doesn't sound sexual at all.
