A Disappointing Continuation
There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
View MoreIt's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

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".
View MoreThis definitely takes the cake as the worst B-movie out there. As if someone made it over the weekend. I guess the ex-playmate does help, but I mean come on! Unless this is some tip-of-the-hat to pornographic cinematography, it's pointless! There were some jokes laden within the film that I laughed at, purely at the expense of the writers attempt at comic relief. Ya, and why is the movie called cyber-chic when the whole time in the movie she's called robo-chic? Whoops! Must have skipped that day in editing! The robo-car, here's another one that was hard to decipher as intentional, or just in line with the quality of film, a fiero with no hood or grill is supposed to be the modern marvel of robotic automobiles, Ha!
View Morethis 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.
View MoreI'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!
