Storyline

Dan Stevens is the sheriff of a small Texas town who checks out a disturbance which turns to murder. The killer is still in the house and he tries to kill Dan, but Dan stops him and arrests him. The killer attempts to flee, but is shot and killed and is taken to a medical institute. Three doctors, led by Dr. Philip Spires, operate on the killer and using a formula the doctors made, they bring him back to life. If that's not bad enough, the formula also made the killer indestructible. Dr. Tom Halman tries to stop the killer, but he and his wife are killed. After the two remaining doctors are killed, the killer goes after Dr. Halman's sister Alison, and it's up to Sheriff Dan Stevens to stop him.

During production, Chuck Norris served as a pallbearer at the funeral of kickboxer Demetrius Havanas. Havanas died in an airplane accident in July 1981 and was buried in Dallas, Texas - the same place the film was being shot. Havanas and Norris were not closely affiliated, but Havanas had previously fought some of Norris' martial arts students in competition. See more »

The Human Terminator
20 November 1999 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

I always liked this film and have wanted a sequel to it. Yes, it could have been better than it was, but it was fun to watch. Stephen Furst's character has to be the most pathetic deputy ever. There really wasn't much of a plot. But it was fun to watch this unkillable guy and no matter what you do to him, he just keeps on ticking like the energizer bunny. It's a fun movie.
