To my recollection, this is one of the first films to play in the Cyberpunk genre. With shades of Neuromancer mixed with Road Warrior the film does what good films are meant to do, they entertain and open your eyes just a little wider. It's a road picture that takes place in the future after an ecological disaster. Humans live underground, but the underground thrives topside. Our hero, a female bodyguard, is assisted by a lovesick Bio-droid to sell off some electronic drugs in a last attempt to escape the hellish world she lives in. Unfortunatly, Plughead has other plans for the Drugs and he relentlessly chases the duo cross country. Some whacky characters help flesh out a very amusing story, including Leech, excellently played by Dennis Christopher (Breaking Away). The film is a good ride through an imaginative future.

Any movie with mutant leaches in it is classic. Why does the gigalo bot need to breath? The girl seems to carry more than two knives, wouldn't that be uncomfortable? Curious, then buy this movie and have a good time laughing your but off! Come on, the villan is named plughead. Classic

The story bears strong resemblence to CHERRY 2000 in which a man was in love with an android. In CIRCUITRY MAN, it's the android in love with a computer program. Both males hook up with a sexy female mercenary to find their loves, across a post-apocalyptic desert, confronting questions of what it means to be human.

CIRCUITRY MAN also features the beautiful Dana Wheeler-Nicholson, and a sexy actress in the delightful role of Yoyo, a bad-girl assassin.

Quirky, noteable little Sci-Fi fable about a post apocalyptic future (again), wherein robots and technology have become the new currency (a la William Gibson's Neuromancer via "Johnny Mnemonic") of the tattered remnants of civilization. "Circuitry" ups the ante by making the satisfying story focus on a "Romeo" model of android, that is programmed (i.e. tricked) into doing whatever it takes to find the great love of his life, who doesn't really exist. Smart, cool, and unique, especially on such a restrictive budget.

Fast-paced, fun, orginal, sexy, profane,
futuristic and with an enviromental mes-
sage to boot. Algore's type of movie. May-
be this is where he got that stupid 'Glo-
bal-warming' crap from? No, and he didn't
invent the I-net either. Lu Leonard, Ver-
non Wells almost steal the show but Jim
Metzler, Dennis Christopher and Andy Gol-
dberg are very funny as well! Dana Wheel-
er-Nicholson's best to date. And I would
like to date her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
