MANDROID. MERCENARY. SCIENTIST. NINJA. EACH ONE A SPECIALIST. TOGETHER THEY ARE ELIMINATORS!

A mad scientist uses the body of a downed pilot to build a cyborg he calls Mandroid. He then uses Mandroid as a guinea pig for his time-travel experiments, and, after they prove successful, he decides to send the cyborg to the junk yard. Mandroid is not amenable to this idea, however, and escapes. He sets out to find Nora Hunter, a robotics scientist who might be able to help him get revenge against his maker.

The 80s proved that all things are possible with enough cocaine.

Lol, right?

I love how they didn't even bother to make the prosthetic look like it's in his head, but tacked onto the outside.

Star Trek The Next Generation had better prosthetics at the time, hahaha.

Awesome.

"We've got robots, we've got cavemen, we've got kung fu. What is this anyway, some kind of damn comic book?"

Definitely check out the trailer linked above. /c/BMovieBonanza was created for this type of movie.

Whoa. Mandroid? No, that's a mecha-centaur.

To you who coined "mandroid": Are you aware of what andro- means?

[–] LaurenceWolse@feddit.nl 3 points 9 months ago (3 children)

Perhaps they didn't have a Greek dictionary at hand? 😉

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

The Andro Id is mansplaining. Man Droid is a droid who is a man. /s

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Exactly, andro-man was right there!

[–] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Wouldn't that be Latin? (I genuinely don't know, just seems English gets a lot of that from Latin. Or perhaps English and Greek both get that stuff from Latin).

[–] LaurenceWolse@feddit.nl 2 points 9 months ago

It's from the Greek combining form of anēr. In Latin it would be vir, as in virile.

it was me, the Manimal

[–] Sergio@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

I was guessing it was Mantis Toboggan (from Always Sunny)

[–] witheyeandclaw 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

All these things, AND Denise Crosby??

[–] janonymous@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

This looks amazing! Found a VHS recording on archive.org

[–] passenger@sopuli.xyz 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I found the full movie with very high quality on dailymotion. Not sure if legal...

[–] DrDystopia@lemy.lol 5 points 9 months ago

Mandroid sounds like the manservant of the future!

[–] kamenlady@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Now i want a Mandroid & Tetsuo (the iron man) crossover.

[–] LaurenceWolse@feddit.nl 3 points 9 months ago

Oh! That does sound awesome! 🇯🇵🤖

[–] Hugin@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Oh man. I remember the half man half tracked cyborg movie from my youth. I've tried to find it for years but didn't know what it's name was.

Thanks so much.

[–] LaurenceWolse@feddit.nl 4 points 9 months ago

I'm glad you found your movie.

Don't mention it! :)

[–] InvalidName2@lemmy.zip 4 points 9 months ago

Andrew Prine, Patrick Reynolds, Conan Lee, AND Peggy Mannix? How have I never heard of this movie? Seems right down my alley.

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

That. Looks. Amaziiiiing (⁠´⁠⊙⁠ω⁠⊙⁠`⁠)

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 5 points 9 months ago

Wait! Denise Crosby! Produced by Charles Band! It gets more amazing the more I look!

[–] ewigkaiwelo@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

It gave an impression that it was an inspiration for an Astron-6 movie Manborg (enjoyed the movie and love everything Astron6 related)

[–] RickyRigatoni@retrolemmy.com 3 points 9 months ago

That guy is actually a pretty good arnie lookalike. Could've been his stunt double.

[–] tacosanonymous@mander.xyz 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

This seems well worth the watch.

[–] LaurenceWolse@feddit.nl 1 points 9 months ago

It definitely is!
