Brinke Stevens as Kitten in Cyberzone | 1995

Cyberzone 1995 aka Droid Gunner

Marc Singer plays a scumbag semi drunken bounty hunter in a gross run down and dirty future. Like a really shitty Blade Runner with some extra scummy. I figure this is a choice role for him as Marc Singer is just a smidge better Jan Michael Vincent. Watch Extra 2 and Watchers 2 back to back and tell me he is not a just a little bit better version of the same guy at least at that time in their lives. However Singer is pretty fit in this movie for a bloated action star kinda role. As he does a shirtless scene were he pulls a bullet out of his own chest while drinking whiskey and using pliers. For a movie that is a slite Blade Runner rip off you would think that was to eliud to him being a robot but I think it is just a weird scene.

The plot is basically this... In the future after androids started to rebel they became illegal and black market for big company tyrants to fight over. A rich man from the “safe part of the new world” has lost his four sex robots that he loves so much and has hired a private investigator / mercenary / tracker (Marc Singer) to find his delux model sex bots and bring them back. 

They were stolen by creepy kung fu adonis Matthias Hues (from They Come in Peace and Immortal Combat) and then sold to a crime boss / military goon in New Angeles (it's the future ooowww) . 

Singer is teamed up with a “company woman” that understands robots incase they go dangerous mode. They learn to relate as one is from the fine rich world and the other from the streets.. you know blah blah blah character stuff.  The company woman Beth played by Olde Ray and Pm Entertainment filler woman Rochelle Swanson starts off annoying as “the rich woman who doesn't understand how the real world works” but she drops that gimmick pretty quick.  She accepts kicking butt and lets down her hair super quick so becomes much more enjoyable than you would first expect.

Generic in many ways but the cast of random Fred Olen Ray friends of the 90s cameos keeps this movie rolling. Mutant strippers with one played by Brinke Stevens looking better then she has almost ever look (maybe I have a mutant elf / cat girl stripper fetish, I don’t know). Other cameos as Robert Quarry as an intergalactic pimp scum lord. Also a small cameo by Peter Spellos (Hard to Die and Sorority House Massacre 2) shows up and if you are a fan of the movies I talk about it is great to see him show up.

Also this is the oddest role for Matthias Hues as he has come comedic moments. Normally he is a stone cold creepy killer / robot and or demon. Here he is an almost likely rogue kind of pirate dare I say jacked Han Solo kind of character. Stealing sex bots and selling them to a extra evil crime lord. He betrays the crime lord and helps Singer get the sex bots back and save others in the process. I figured he was the main villain but he actually teams up with Singer in a mix match anti hero kind of team. This comes off legit silly but instead of ruining the film, makes a generic 90s low budget sci fi kind of entertaining. If it was in any better a movie it would have been just dumb. But this movie is dumb so it's ok.  He was probably agreed to be paid less as long as the sex bots got to grope him a lot. They definitely did, even when he dresses them up like nuns and says he can’t sample the merchandise .. yeah that is a scene played humorously straight if you can believe it.
