I was 2 years old when this movie came out. I did not know any English, but I loved this movie. When I was in pre-school, I told my teacher I had a friend named Carl who was burned real bad. Unbeknownst to her, Carl was the character in the movie. About 7 or 8 years ago, my grandmother threw away the recorded copy I had of this film. Never to see it or hear about it again. Now I have found it.

When our hero complains to his boss, he is killed so his brain and eyes may be placed in a cyborg. Luckily, he escapes, but his computer controlled "rage response" forces him to brutally kill anyone who touches him. Pam Grier co-stars as the bounty hunter we all wish would track us down. Watch as the vindicator takes his revenge on the evil-doers who have wronged him! A satisfying onslaught leaves few survivors. For action-packed science fiction adventure, nothing beats the vindicator!

Here is where they came with the idea.
This movie, doesn't have the $$$ that Robocop had in 1989. So don't expect great Special Effects...
It does have the original idea, and it is worth to see it.
I saw it in 1989, then I saw Robocop, I always like the Vindicator better.
I consider it a clasic for SCFI fans.

This is one of those films that you saw a long time ago, and liked. When you happen to be in front of the TV at 3am and see that it's on, you just can't turn it off and go to bed.

The main character is working in a lab that's designing cyborg systems for space exploration. His boss murders him, and uses his 'parts' in the prototype. When they realize that his consciousness was also awake in the cyborg, they try to destroy him. BIG MISTAKE.

This film has some cheezy parts, but it's still pretty good. Pam Grier is a babe in this one! She's a trained assassin who likes to fight dirty. She's sent in to kill anyone the cyborg tries to make contact with, including the man's wife, if necessary.

Decent flick with a fairly good plot. I recommend this one for the "Remember When" factor.

Who's that other reviewer guy anyway? This movie was lame. Seriously so. Believe me, I watch crap like this for a living, and this movie sucks wind. Feeble acting, weak story attempt, and all around unwatchable, unless you're a Pam Grier or Stan Winston completist...
