TC 2000 (1993)

When a cover is that awful it’s my goddamn duty to watch it! It’s a futuristic sci-fi starring Billy Blanks in a helmet, taking names, kicking ass, using words like “chump” and “rat-face” and sharing fight-montage time with Bolo Yeung (best known for Enter the Dragon (1973)). Between the many, many fights there’s a story about privileged rich folks living underground and poor unfortunate folks living on a surface that’s been environmentally destroyed. Let’s not forget the female, leather-clad, Robocop-esque villainess played by Bobbie Phillips, for those of us that don’t enjoy smooth man-chest. And you thought it was just another Terminator rip-off, didn't you?

As long as Pluto Nash II remains only a bad dream, I'll consider myself safe.
