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...
