The Spoony Experiment

Robowar Review

by Spoony on September 6, 2009 · View Comments


Creator’s commentary can be found here.

Reb Brown, star of Space Mutiny and Yor, returns in his greasiest adventure yet!  Can he and the elite BAM Squad survive the terror of the Robowar?

Edit: Bruno Mattei was a director on Porno Holocaust. Joe D’Amato just got top-billing. There has been no goof!

Yeah… But it still makes very little sense.

I have to admit, screaming and fake-firing a gun simultaneously is surprisingly fun and liberating. I must do this more often.

But yeah, what a turd of a movie. It wasn't fun-bad, or even just bad. It was shit. Still, Mattei's apparent complete lack of shame at ripping of one of the better sci-fi action movies ever made is impressive, if nothing else. And as always, great review Spoony. I loved the inclusion of the commando sketches.

Great review Noah! Keep it up!

Amazing thing is that the plot of this is actually pretty darn interesting. A Robot who is a friend of the Protagonist that can't self terminate but wants to? With the right people, this could've been infinitely superior to predator. Unfortunately…..

i think they meant to mean that bamf means Bad Ass Mother Fuckers but there were probably some language errors.

Danny Caracciolo June 20, 2010 at 3:33 pm

that was just a sketch they did for the movie probably done by some of Noah's friends

I feel so bad for the person that had to translate this in to subtitle. “Ok John the next line in the movie is You walk like a ruptured duck”
John “That's funny. What the real line?”
or worse! Having to sit there reading that

I feel the same about bad movies being awesome. Especially bad horror movies. Hilariously fun to watch with some buddies.

I just realized that in addition to lifting the “screaming and shooting at nothing” scene from Predator… I am reasonably certain that the opening sequence is actually the village raid from Predator seen through a crappy faux-infrared filter. That alone is 1000000x amazing.

Whoo, Reb Brown is a pretty man! The 90's had rap and street culture, the 60's had hippies and rampant drug overuse, 2000's had political and economic unrest, and the 70's had Disco and feminism. The 80's will be forever known as the asshole of the fashion industry. Muscle men in tiny tank-tops, excuse me while I die from giggling.

I don't think this director had an original idea in his life. Even his Nazi Exploitation films were rip-offs of other Nazi Exploitation films.

They should send these Big Ass Motherfuckers to Iraq. Knowing these guys I think they'd have a “Black Hawk Down” incident..

oh maann, youre amazing.!

I'm having a field day with the Japanese subtitles. I notice that Spoony and I both seem to be hung up on the “Big Ass Motherfuckers” thing, but for different reasons. I made a brief attempt to translate the subtitles for that line, and the closest I got was the rather poetic “unaffected by destiny,” or perhaps “lacking command,” as in “no one can boss them around, because they're… you know.” Talk about losing things in translation.

Way late to the party here, but I figured I might as well explain what a “ruptured duck” is. It’s WWII slang for the service pin given to soldiers who got an honorable discharge from the military between 1939 and 1946. Due to the fact that pretty much everyone who earned one took the next available flight back home, it came to mean someone trying to get somewhere very quickly, which is not how it’s used in either Robowar or Strike Commando. I think the last time anyone actually used the term un-ironically was some time in the late 1950s. Which just goes to show how dated Bruno Mattei’s understanding of the English language was.
