Robowar

Premium Crap. CrapScore 77, rated by 1 admin.

Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.

Why it’s crap
Commandos enter a jungle on a secret mission and discover a cyborg hunting them. Bruno Mattei combines recognisable Predator and RoboCop ideas with enthusiastic gunfire and an unmistakably cheaper opponent. The team's wildly impractical macho decisions are almost as dangerous as the machine.
