      Londo's Mondo Cheesy adventure. Great for kids or the impaired. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/03/22 Full Review Audience Member A few imaginative special effects in a largely unimaginative film. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Haha what a blast! Ridiculous, cartoony and over the top, but so much fun. It's like a low rent 80s Avengers. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member A mandroid travels through time to test stuff for an evil scientist. When he's about to be dismantled, the cyborg escapes and looks for help in stopping some evil, or something. The robot-man finds a lady-scientist who is familiar with his design, so she follows him on his adventures as a sort of mechanic. They jetset to South America and into a "Romancing the Stone" type film. Now they have a ninja to help them on their quest. The evil scientist, now himself a mandroid, plans to travel to ancient Rome to become Caligula, or something. Actually, its better than its garbled story sounds because of interesting characters, fun dialogue, and typical 80s ultra-violence. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member While I stress that is a really bad movie, I can actually say its entertaining. Depending on your ironic view of watching a "so bad it's good" movie, that is. It'll remind you of about 40 other movies its ripping off; it's like Romancing the Stone, The Terminator, a Bruce Lee movie, a time travel movie, mad scientist movie, and many others rolled all into one. Again... it's so bad... but can be amusing with beer. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Let's put every single action and sci fi 80's movie cliche into a giant blender but then totally pull the budget away from it and hope it works out ok. That's pretty much happened with this semi decent turd of an action movie starring Denise Crosby (aka. Mrs.bitchy wife from Pet Semetary). The story goes nowhere and the acting is pretty sub par, what a surprise huh? I think this was just an excuse to use a bunch of random reject sci fi and horror movie costumes that no one had any use for. I'm not joking this movie has a cyborg,a samurai/ninja,a scientist,a cliche 80's mercenary, and some beast like person who form this like makeshift taskforce to fight a cyborg army. The main bad guy here is some weird evil scientist who makes mandroids or some shit...I kinda just gave up on this half way through. Watch at your own risk.

      Walter Goodman New York Times The commotion goes on for a little over 90 minutes. After about 20 of them, you may feel that your cortex is shorting out and it's time to get your oxygen transcribed. Aug 30, 2004 Full Review Austin Trunick Under the Radar [Eliminators] sometimes seems as if it were intended for children -- the characters look like they were designed to be a toy line -- but it's good fun.
