    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The film was allowed to shoot at a real California mall as long as they did not damage any facilities and had removed any traces of their presence before the mall opening time of 9AM. While the mall's head of security didn't like the filmmakers and was constantly accusing them of causing disrepair, the mall's owner was supportive of the film and made sure the production was able to complete its work on schedule.
    • Goofs
      Throughout the entire movie, people can be seen walking around in the background on different floors of the mall, even though it's supposed to be closed.
    • Quotes

      Ferdy: Look, I'm sorry if I made you angry, Linda.

      Linda: It's not you, Ferdy. I guess I'm just not used to being chased around a mall in the middle of the night by killer robots.

    • Crazy credits
      In the closing credits, the name of each actor appears over their photo. The name of the person whose character is decapitated appears over a photo of their headless shoulders.
    • Alternate versions
      The TV network version has some minutes of aerial stock footage of Los Angeles added, as well as some more voice-over dialoge between the robot technicians and more scenes of Alison and Ferdy watching Attack Of The Crab Monsters on the TV set.

    Well, there is a whole lot of cheese in Chopping Mall. Remembering this movie from my childhood, I was compelled to rent it last night. Well, I am glad I did! Yeah, there isn't anything spectacular about the movie...There is a lot of Cheese (Automatic Rifles in a Mall?), but it still stands out as one of the better B-movies of the 80's.

    The Robots are pretty decent looking. The acting is typical for the genre and timeframe. The head explosion scene is just classic.

    I now feel compelled to track this down on Ebay, since I don't see an American DVD release anytime soon...

    Rent it and just enjoy the actual quality to this b-movie. I don't mean the acting, but the scenery and the robots. The CGI is laughable...but, that is another topic...
