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.
