We ’ve already celebrated the wideness of Manborg , the bargain - cellar tribute to classic 1980s science fiction film . But here ’s your first actual cartridge clip from the pic , in which Manborg offer some wisdom : “ It ’s never too late … to be a Italian sandwich . ” The acting in this prospect must be seen to be believed , include the willy-nilly dubbed Asiatic dude . It ’s kind of amazing .
Also , here ’s a longer trailer than the short teaser trailer we featured before . notice the awful VHS tape effects :
You do n’t really need a synopsis after watching that , but basically this movie is set in a post - apocalyptic hereafter full of demonic Nazis or something , and Manborg is a soldier from the past tense who ’s brought back to life as — what else ? — a bionic woman .
Ina new audience in the Winnipeg Free Press , writer / director Steve Kostanski explains that this motion-picture show was a three - yr labor of love :
“ It was while watching The Eliminators with fellow Astron phallus Jeremy ( Gillespie ) that I decided it was time to make my own crummy , schlocky sci - fi action at law epic . ”
The Eliminators was a 1986 flick featuring a chemical group of hero ( including a cybernetic “ mandroid , ” a ninja , and the obligatory beautiful blond charwoman ) banding together to fight an evil scientist . It ’s as cheesy as a double tall mallow pizza , and just as delicious , as least to Astron ’s sensibility .
“ The appeal of these depleted budget knock - off case films ( was ) they were always littered with crazy cool ideas to try and make up for the deficiency of money , ” Kostanski aver . “ They ’d always fancy out ways to be imaginative with what they had , and that ’s a logic that I reckon Astron-6 can sympathize with . ”
Weirdly , the campy and not particularly naturalistic - look Manborg has been rated 18A in Manitoba for “ roughshod fury , gory scenes . ” This is a film … for men . And charwoman . And manborgs .
