Robo Chic

this piece runs in Germany as "thunder tronic" on the empire video label with the tagline "the ultimate challenge".

reading the cover lines with that terrorist-thing sounded well enough to take the tape and watch. I AM EASY TO PLEASE !!! but after 16 minutes i asked my self how to survive all 102 minutes. i mean, after a while you know that a movie is in a special way tooooo bad - it won't get better.

the story is so ridiculous, nothing fits, it isn't even funny. some bad movies are as bad so they get good again. not here. it is a pure waste of time. i liked the book-idea "how to build an atomic bomb" in relation with that bug hunting atomic terrorist nerd, even that idea got painful overdrawn over and over again later. the police department chief, the dogs, that dumb rocker-gang, the pimp, R.O.B.O.CAR and everything else - it could have been a nice one...

yeah... ultimate challenge... is surviving that 102 minutes...

is worth 10c to complete your label-collection or you like sado-masochism.

One sunny afternoon, a couple of years ago, a friend of mine crashed at my place with a broad smile on his face. "I just bought a new movie, it looks like a stupid movie, let's watch it". 102 min later, we knew we did it, we saw what is probably the very worst movie ever-made and I certainly hope ever to be made.

Immage : bad, sound : bad, editing : bad, humor attempt : bad, chick : not naked, plot : still trying to figure out.

Nevertheless, i'm glad I saw it. Now, every other movie I see is just a little bit better : Once you've hit the bottom you can only go up.

To sum it all up I'll quote my friend :"So bad it is not even funny".

Was having a bad movie night with some folks when I got to see this little gem. Don't get me wrong, this is not a great movie, but it is a rare creature onto itself: a bad movie that's made with a sense of self-awareness of what it is and makes it work. Cyber-C. H. I. C. never takes itself seriously and, if you do, you're not watching it right.

It's silly, the dialog is ridiculous, the characters are over the top, and the acting is the perfect amount of stilted. Even the terrible "action" scenes (in which RoboCHIC casually shoves baddies) fits right in with the vibe of the movie. If you enjoy schlock like *Auntie Lee's Meat Pies* or *Attack of the 60ft. Centerfold*, you'll likely find Cyber-C. H. I. C. an entertaining couple of hours.

I've got a little confession to make. I'm one of the easiest-to-please movie goers out there. I liked BALLISTICS: ECKS VS. SEVER. I liked THE TUXIDO. I enjoyed MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE so much I saw it almost to the point of having it memorized. Hell, I was even entertained by JOHNNEY MENOMIC. So what does all this have to do with ROBO C.H.I.C.? (Or Cyber Chick or whatever) Just this: when I think a movie was hard to sit through and it's not some intellectual, artsy, slice-of-life film, you know it's BAD. Half of what makes it so painful to watch is the fact that the actress who plays the title character tries WAY too hard to act like an emotionless robot. (Maybe she should've just tried acting "normal", snicker.) The rest of the cast isn't much better, everyone tries to be funny and ends up just being annoying. Of course the film does try to be intentionally goofy, as a spoof of ROBO COP, it's just that it ends up being so in an irritating way instead of a genuinely funny, entertaining way. It's been years since I saw this so I can't remember much about the plot or so many of the things wrong with it, just the general way it made me felt. What's more, the only ways I would ever see this a second time was if someone stuck a gun to my head or eles offered me a minimum of a thousand dollars and I knew he was good to his word. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!

Got to tell you this is one of the wost b-movies ever made. on my b-movie scale it gets a 3 for a couple of topless scenes but thats it. and those scenes arent much to give you a tiger of pleasure. please avoid
