Michael Critchon (of Jurassic Park fame) brought us this little bizarre tale of a detective and spider droids, and the KISS rock star who planned it all..

About the time Tom Selleck was making the jump from Magnum P.I. to films, he decided to go from a private detective in Hawaii to a futuristic police officer who tracks down rogue robots (watch out, Tom, Crow and Gypsy).

Anyway imagine if someone took I, Robot, spliced it with the backdrop to 'Demolition Man,' and then put in the grizzled cop from 'Blade Runner' (but with a kid) and you'd have this movie.

Oh, and the chick who played in RoboCop in this one as well.

Here's the spiel, famille on this synopsis: somewhere in a Jetsons/Blade Runner future, robots do practically everything for people. But because things aren't always flawless, Jack Ramsay (Ramsay? Man, what was up with these names?!), belongs to a specialized police force that deals with rogue robots. Mainly by shutting them down with their special guns that emit electromagnetic pulses. Usually it's a normal day for Jack, until a mysterious outbreak of robots going murderous occurs (doncha hate when that happens).

Mysteriously, the only clue Jack has are these mysterious spider droids that kill their victims by injecting acid into them (no seriously). Especially those who know something about why these mechanical wonders are becoming homicidal, mechanical wonders.

Turns out Gene Simmons, aka Luther, (yes, Luther and NOT Luthor) is some sort of twisted genius who plans on making robots go nuts and slaughter mankind for his own enjoyment because he wasn't loved as a human... or something to that effect... and now has targeted Jack's son for some reason. Bizarre, isn't it? Not target the powerful men, nor government officials, or even the cops that can shut down the rogue robots, but Jack's son... talk about flawed plans, but hey, when you were a rock star, guess you can do anything, eh?

Here's why RiffTrax should riff this film:

1. Hilarious overdone premise: Ever since Metropolis, we've seen films where robots usually turn on their human masters, but in this case, they don't just go rogue immediately.

2. Gene Simmons: Strange how I've never seen Mr. Simmons out of makeup, and the fact it's the first time he's played a villain, but from what you see, it's quite obvious. You know, how the producers want you to think he's not evil, but you know he is, and everyone is oblivious to it, except for the hero, who--after wasting several minutes of film--discovers he's not quite the 'good kid next door.'

3. The Spider Bots: The funniest killer robots since The Daleks, for the fact nobody can actually crush these things and they just sit there and let them inject them. Whereas Tom Selleck goes through a dramatic scene with them, and when Gene deals with them, he just freaks out rather than swatting them off. Seriously, you could just throw an EMP bomb at them, but nobody thinks these things can be defeated and like the Daleks, they just keep on coming regardless.. in fact they used them in the trailers and promos for the film itself, even though you don't see them much in the film itself. Except when they're offing someone who keeps attempting to warn Jack about them, or they're just being a total pudhball in the film.

Though I couldn't locate the full film (damn YouTube), I did find a trailer for it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lA6ybohAVq8
