Monsol E I came for MECHA, not a terminator wannabe...& it's not even a good one. The mech is barely in it, only activates at the end, and all it does is knock over one thing before dying... Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Utter dogshit, this film has nothing to do with robot jox and is cheap, boring and nasty. To top it off the giant robot is only in the film for about 10 seconds right towards the end after watching over an hour of this crap. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member hadn't seen this in years but i always remember the fat guys had swelling up. it's a really dated film now although the same kind of stories still get repeated now. there was some really good stunts towards the end and the robots pretty good. I'm a fan of this film from my childhood so i think it's still good. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Sequel of sorts to 'Robot Jox' with the same cover art yet the plot is nothing to do with the original, in fact the plot has nothing to do with anything much haha. Basically its about a group of folks stuck in a big warehouse/power plant because of a thermal storm outside, to make things worse one of them is a 'synth' out to kill everyone for the evil companies gain (Unicom). So...you have a group of people stuck in a building being killed by a Terminator style robot and no one knows who the killer robot is, not too original huh. Its pretty pointless really with bad acting plus nothing happens! the only thing to mention is the gloriously cheesy stop motion mech action near the end. This franchise is all about the big mechs but amazingly this film lacks mech action despite the cover art depiction. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the better Charles Band films, this one takes a splash of action, scifi, special FX, gore, political intreague, and suspense and rolls them all up into a nice neat low budget post apocalyptic thriller. While I would have liked to have seen more giant robots (there is one on the cover after all) the setting and story make much more sense in this film than in many of the other Full Moon outings. Part of the Robot films Band put out in the late 80s early 90s, Crash and Burn is worth checking out at least once if you're into low budget scifi/post apocalyptic films. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member I love post-apocalyptic films. I even enjoy bad post apocalyptic films and director Charles Band is no stranger to the bad post apocalyptic genre. He first directed the 3-D b-movie monster classic Parasite in 1982 and returned to the subgenre 8 years later with Crash and Burn...and look at the cover art! A hot sand-blasted landscape...and what's that, a huge fucking robot in the back ground! That's right we have a huge fucking robot! This is going to be the most bad-ass post-apoc film ever! No, of course not and typical with Charles Band films the poster art is much better than the actual film. As post-apoc films go we have all the basics: a hot, sunny landscape, a depleted ozone layer, an anti-hero, cyborgs, and a evil corporate company. Did I mention we have a huge fucking robot? Apparently in the economy has collapsed and in the collapse a huge multi-national company known as Unicom has taken over the government. A group of anti-Unicom rebels known as the Liberty Union run a 온라인카지노추천 station out in the middle of the desert to air programs that, surprisingly, piss off the company. In comes our anti-hero, a Unicom man who's motorcycle breaks down so he takes refuge at the 온라인카지노추천 station. As expected the rebels don't take too kindly with him at first. While there members start being killed off in Agatha Christie "Ten Little Indians" style because someone there is a cyborg..errr...a Synthoid that is programmed to kill. I know what you are all thinking...where's the giant robot? Well it's in the movie, don't worry. But it doesn't come into play until the last few minutes of the film. Most of the movie it's laying on its side in junk pile until it's turned on to save the day. People looking for a lot of giant robot action are better off looking somewhere else, like the movie Robot Jox. Strangely enough this film was retitled Robot Jox 2: Crash and Burn in Germany despite the fact this barely has any giant robot action. Overall this is passable post-apoc fair. Most of the film is spent on talking and less on action making it far less enjoyable than the Italian fodder that filled the video shelves in the 80's. The film is just kinda blah for the usually fun post-apoc subgenre. Still one could do much worse to kill an hour-and-a-half.
