So. I want you to know you've solved a decades long mystery for me. In ROTOR there's that silly robot cop called Willard. I was looking at him thinking "oh man. That sure looks a lot like that robot that came to the library that one day" then you said he was owned by a police department in Dallas. I'm in Texas and this was the early 90s. This robot came to our school to do some kind of presentation. I was in kindergarten at the time so I was all about it. But over the years I was the only one in my class that remembered. I've tried for many years to use every Google search terms I could to locate information about that robot and couldn't find a single thing. Until this video was suggested to me. Thank you.

The internet is making the world both bigger and smaller in a good way. I recalled two movie scenes from my childhood, no idea what either movie was. I managed to find one thanks to KZbin and google. I'm still passively looking for a movie involving a house with...er... different time periods in different rooms perhaps? I recall dinosaurs, and two men venturing into the unknown, one has a large gun and a small, offers the other the larger gun. It's a lighter.

I never realized R.O.T.O.R. was set in Dallas. I actually got to "meet" that real Dallas PD robot. They brought it to my school (or a very similar robot, as this was the early 90s and I was just a kiddo) one day. I think DART (the local Dallas mass transit system/company) also has their own robot in the early 90s, thought I'm not 100%.

A low budget movie from 1994 seems like a modest-budget movie from 1984. It's crazy how dated some of these early 90s knockoffs look next to their bigger-budget contemporaries. Still, I'm a sucker for a decent cyberpunk action-thriller and prefer practical effects and the grittier tone of older films - I wonder which of these are worth a watch? I've been meaning to see CLASS OF 1999!

In Eliminators, that's Denise Crosby at 4.02, a year before Star Trek: The Next Generation started and she became better known for playing Tasha Yar. Actually it's interesting how many famous face B movie actors turn up in these clips. John Saxon, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hammil, Van Damme, Olivier Gruner, Jan Michael Vincent, Julian Sands and so on. I also love your Matt Berry reference too, although that joke may be lost on some of the non British viewers. Glad to see Eve of Destruction gets a brief mention as I remember that was released in the UK on VHS just before Terminator 2 and they really tried to cash in on the hype surrounding the T2 theatrical release with a big advertising campaign in video shops and trailering it on other rental titles. Not sure I'd agree with linking Universal Soldier here though as that was a major worldwide theatrical release in the summer of 1992 anyway and unlike almost all of the other films here, Universal Soldier had a decent production budget for the era ($23 million) whereas most of the others would have been a tenth of that at most. I'm also surprised Chuck Norris never appeared in a terminator knock off seeing as Cannon films were quick to use him to cash in on other genres.

Given your references to anime before in your Star Wars video, I'm really astounded you don't mention Bubblegum Crisis which not only takes heavily from Terminator (many aspects of the Boomers), but mashes it up with Streets of Fire (awesome 80s music!) and Blade Runner (Boomers also socially are often like Replicants) to create one of the most amazing Cyberpunk stories of all time! Also, Masamune Shiro's Black Magic M-66 manga and its semi-adaptation of the same name anime also borrows very heavily in story and style from Terminator as well as Blade Runner.

I don't believe in rip-off label. The truth is that someone has to execute idea first. Nobody's that special. So many people thought of something long before but they were not in the position to do anything about it or break through with it. Don't call it "Terminator rip-offs". It doesn't make any sense. CLASS OF 1999 was so much different for example. To make a movie about robots is extremely expensive. Stanley Kubrick wanted to make A.I. before Spielberg but he wanted real androids to start with. So many novels from far past in the subject. Wes Craven did Deadly Friend not even thinking about this kind of bs. Never compare in such a manner. Sorry but this video is just stupid.

The was a very fun, comprehensive and towards the end, exhaustive compilation of "Terminator" ripoffs and I enjoyed it a lot. The ratings scales helps a lot too cuz I've only seen 1 or 2 of these flicks from start to finish, and have seen bits and pieces of several others.

Daniel Bernhardt has had an impressive career BOTH as an actor and a stunt performer/coordinator. Good Day to Die Hard, Deadpool 2, Guardians 3, John Wick 1, 2, & 3, Nobody, Matrix Reloaded, Logan, Lethal Weapon, Hobbs & Shaw, an on and on. I remember first seeing him in Future War on MST3K 20+ years ago, then noticing him in one of the Matrix movies and checking his IMDB to my delight. Seems like a hardworking and accomplished working performer.

This brings back a lot of memories. I was obsessed with cyborg/robot movies as a kid and rented probably a 3rd of these films from an independent rental shop I have a ton of nostalgia for. Almost all of them were awful, and I doubt I'd make it through most of them today, but they furnished me with a lifetime of fun Friday night memories.

The whole Days of Future Past saga in X-men comics, with Nimrod and Bishop is directly taken from Terminator (not talking about the movie, but the comic book). Also, the Cable character is a mixture of Kyle Reese and the Terminator.

It's hard to say universal soldier was terminator influenced instead of robocop influenced. Meanwhile, Virtuosity was definitely influenced by T2. There's also Screamers, which is.... more terminator than anything else, but it's based on a PK Dick story, so there's that....

You are my favorite master of bad movies. Your channel is b-movie elite. The time and effort you must have put into watching these films and putting all of this work together deserves applause. This is the best damn movie channel on KZbin. You fuel my love for bad movies like an A.P.E.X. explosion. Thank you for bringing your passion and intelligence to these films that I adore and collect for all the wrong and right reasons...and for tuning me into even more. Sure I like artsy fartsy fodder like The Tree Of Life (2011) and The Fall (2006) and Boyhood (2014). But I am exponentially proud of cult films and b-movies. Thank you for celebrating for the legion of us out there that just can't get enough bad movies. Birdemic: Shock And Terror (2010) forever. What a story, Mark. You can't piss on hospitality! Do the BIM!

There's this 1989 Argentinian saga called "Los Extermineitors" (replace the ei for an a to pronounce in English). It was an action comedy movie where two sailors are mistaken by two soldiers who fought on Vietnam under the code names of Extermineitor and Destroceitor. They are sent to training and on a mission to take down a ninja cartel. I just watched it twice when I was a kid, so I barely remember any of it. The trailer and Wikipedia helped, tho. It features real martial artists and explosions, so there's plenty of action. It count 4 movies total, and was a big success back then. I don't dare to watch any of it today, lol.

Thank you very much for publishing these videos there were movies of Cyborgs that I did not know. There is a movie in particular, I don't remember the title, that I saw in 2000 about a woman who eliminates her husband in a fight of domestic violence, a man escapes from a cororation and hides in the house of this woman. Both fight against the men sent until they manage to eliminate everyone, but in the end the man attacks the woman and leaves her blind in one eye, she rips the skin off his face and reveals that he had a mechanical brain, finally with a rifle The woman manages to destroy it, he tells her they will come for you Grace before dying, the woman equips herself and escapes on a motorcycle. I could never find the movie again.
