Hands of Steel
“30% human, 70% robot, 100% lethal.”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 64, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A cyborg on the run somehow finds time for roadside arm-wrestling trouble. Sergio Martino's action mashup puts a search for humanity next to barroom feuds and George Eastman's oversized menace. The romance slows the circuit down, but the cyborg fight gives it another jolt.
