   I queued this one up. There is a LOT, and I mean a LOT, of   
   shooting going on. And definitely not for the kiddies due to the   
   bare asses and some titties galore. I guess the market was for   
   by then more mature Terminator fans?  The dudes with the slick   
   hair and constantly dark glasses gave it a Matrix appearance -   
   but then I guess all bad dudes have to wear dark glasses.   
      
   The storyline is intended to be dark and savage, but then there     
   is this little 1 minute scene that stood out as a bit of fun.

   Gruner's delivery reminded me of the Kung Fury's lead actor     
   spoofing such a character emoting a calm, soft-spoken,     
   protagonist.   
      
   The film dates the story to take place in 2027.
