YouHeart I gave it a 7.5 out of 10

Stephan Hammond It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Benedito Dias Rodrigues I watched this picture for first time on TV in 1988...the when official DVD come out l bought but without dubbing l didn't watch at this time, but after some years I've find on internet someone that had insert the classic dubbing in DVD so l could enjoy this movie in my favorite way,the picture is a Flick but funny with Tom Selleck as a cop who has fear of high places and a young Kirstie Alley when she was Sex and Cynthia Rhodes as always good actress and Gene Simmons as Luther the bad guy...mention to G W Bailey funny as in Police Academy's portrait....enjoyable movie!!!

thesar-2 Never once had I ever heard of this surprisingly bad effort from Jurassic Park's Michael Crichton. In 31 years, this "futuristic" thriller escaped me until the brilliant How Did This Get Made? podcast covered it, which means I had to watch it just to listen to their show. And finally, they got back to their roots of doing incredibly bad movies to ridicule and put the pieces somewhat together for an hour and a half. Funny enough, though, this movie had one unbelievable good point that is worth mentioning: Tom Selleck.While most of the movie was downright hilarious (the wonderfully unintentional kind,) Selleck actually looked like he was in an Oscar film throughout. His lines, delivery, acting, reactions and the way he stole every scene was actually very good. It just felt so odd when you had poor acting, a worse script, a laugh-out-loud Gene Simmons villain – who I always thought was an android since he was so plastic and a million "robots" in people's homes that malfunctioned more than contributed, to have Selleck give his all. For him, he raised this dud to 2 stars, just 1 more from the deserved rating.But, skipping him, which isn't easy to do, it's a ton of fun to watch this train wreck of "suspense/almost horror." Now, I can't wait to hear the cast of the podcast tear this apart.

Jerghal People just don't realize how far practical and visual effects have come until they see a movie like this. Tom Select plays a cop who has to hunt down rogue robots with killing tendencies. These 'robots' are nothing more than glorified trash cans on wheels with some pathetic arm or tentacle sticking out. So no terminator-like adversaries. So to compensate they've got Gene Simmons as the bad guy, sure he looks evil/sinister, but that is his normal expression (he's got only one). He's assisted by some very toy like robotic spiders, who 'jump' on people, but in reality they just throw them on the actors who have to hold them to keep from falling of. It don't even want to know how many takes they had to do for every shot coz they must have all be rolling on the floor laughing each time they yelled 'cut'. Easily one of the most cheesy and ridiculous 'scifi' films of the eighties or even of all time.

buckikris I remember the first time I saw this movie I was at my cousin's house in Lexington, KY. She had been married for approximately 2 years and everyone decided to go and get some movies. I was about 12 at the time and picked this one out. I had no idea what kind of movie it would be, just that it had Tom Selleck and Gene Simmions from KISS in it. I just turned to my Cousin-In-Law and said this looks good. Out of the three movies we got this one was the best, not only was I surprised but he loved the movie. After all there years it still has that futurist appeal to it and to a point it makes you think. The movie came out in 1984; and it's about robots that have been altered to become dangerous and in some ways killers. In the beginning of the film you see Tom Selleck and his new partner Karen. They are apart of the police departments Runaway unit. A unit that gets calls about malfunctioning robots and they are the ones that go in to take care of the situation. One day a call comes in a 713 or something like that, a runaway call where people have been killed. Once on the scene Ramsey, Selleck and Karen, Cynthia Rhodes, get the info, that robot that helps with the house a lot has killed 2 members of the family. The baby has not been harmed, but the father on the scene knows more about what is going on than he is telling. Well Ramsey gets the baby out of harms way, but the father disappears suddenly. In comes Gene Simmons character,Luther, a robotics expert who is a homicidal maniac. Luther is partners with two other men, one being the father of the baby and another who is working with him to form genetically altered programming chips for robots, so they can be altered to become killing machines. Once the two partners ask for there share, they end up getting tracked down or killed after Luther get's what he wants. Luther also has engineered robotic spider's who are programmed to kill with acid.You will see this in the movie, and for anyone who has a sever phobia of spiders you have to see this, it will make your skin crawl. It's up to Ramsey, Karen, and Luther's girlfriend, Jackie, to stop this psycho before he wrecks havoc on everywhere. THX, Kris L. CocKayne
