There are few futuristic films I've seen that I disliked more. Tragically bad just about covers this one.

Plot: A pre-apocalyptic USA (covered in red sand and pollution), where people are actively encouraged to stop having children. A travelling scavenger (Dylan McDermott) discovers a robot head in the red desert and gives it to his artist girlfriend as a gift. She subsequently incorporates it into her sculpture and low and behold, our head miraculously regains consciousness and goes on a kill crazy rampage.

Not good. Not original. Not interesting.

Why review it? It has Iggy Pop as a disc-jockey and Lemmy from Motorhead as a water taxi driver.

Budget: $1,500,000

Gross: $5,728953

Someone stated on the poster that this film was the best sci-fi since Alien...I imagine they got paid a lot to say that.

Fun Fact: The film was inspired by a short story in a Judge Dredd comic.
