It isn't long before his primary program as judge, jury and executioner comes into play when he kills a civilian for... well it isn't quite clear why. The girlfriend (Margaret Trigg) flees and R.O.T.O.R. begins a relentless (though rather inept) search for her. While the police seem to be uninterested in the carnage Barrett enlists the help of a female bodybuilder / scientist (Jayne Smith) to defeat R.O.T.O.R...
R.O.T.O.R. does seem to have a lot of weaknesses though, including car horns, 1980s soft rock and string... To save money the robot cop actually just looks like a beefy man with a moustache in black leather - like someone in a Village People tribute band rather than the ultimate crime fighting machine. But there is so much to enjoy here, such as the cheesy police robot which wears a police cap, the fact Gesswein is dubbed, the fight scenes which make no logical sense. An incredible film for all the wrong reasons, but tremendous fun.
