So what did everyone think of this one?  It was hilarious, I think I laughed almost as much as the baffling confusing shit that happens in this movie as the jokes themselves.  I think this movies was written by aliens who have no idea what human conversation structure is like.  Perhaps the aliens who are always probing Miku Fan, I dont fuckin know.  I enjoyed the hell out of it though

I was bieng threated with death by wolf raping before it was cool!.

I give it a 10. Almost as good as Zindy and Slumber Party.

I give it a highly respectable 9 out of 10.

I love how unnecessarily hostile and hyperbolic Coldyron is.  He gets a call that ROTOR was found and his name was connected to it and how does he respond, "Detective, sit on this!" I mean, sheesh, dude. There's no need to be so "on" all of the time.

What the hell was up with that convenience store scene?  That made no sense and did nothing to add to the "story".

It was meant to show us how good of a cop Coldyron was before he went into to the robot-making business?

:shrug:

Coldyron was a good cop/scientist?

Well, he did arrest, well mostly stop.... well he deterred one (the wheel-man) beat-up another, had a hostage beat-up another and he shot one anyway he got involved in the robbery pretty much on no evidence or real meaningful clue something sinister was going on.  I guess that's something...

And, well, as a scientist? He did make an AI that could see through time and more-or-less act autonomously with the agility of a human (without wires or tubes!) but, then again, it was sort of a clumsy AI based on a dystopian outlook on the future that necessitated a ruthless police force accountable to no one and needing to make on-the-spot judgments over minor traffic violations.  But it was a remarkable AI for the time none-the-less... Sorta.

But Skunk-Haired Mullet Lady seemed to play a large role in the whole thing so maybe she gets more of the... "credit."

But, then again, neither thought to build a remote-control device for ROTOR or any real means of tracking or controlling him remotely, particularly in cases of an emergency where he malfunctions with catastrophic results.   He also had a flaw in it that the AI couldn't handle loud noises (but we'll assume this was a prototype defect that would have been worked-out in the production-line models.)

Let's just say he was an "Okay" Cop/Scientist.

On the ROTOR Rotation Of Reliably Instant Laughter Shakes, I give it 10 RORILS out of 10.

I still find it freaking hilarious after all this time. My judging of a Rifftrax release has a lot to do with how funny it manages to stay after multiple playing.

What a bizarre film. Lets design cops for a post apocalyptic world 50 years in the future. And have a locker for him, and his motorcycle gassed and ready to go. A stinker of a film, but an enjoyable riff.
