sexy Japanese terrorists are running amok in Hong Kong, and only Cynthia Khan can stop them. you'll be amazed how many times the phrase "male and female thieves" is used in the course of 90 minutes.

Ro-Man has a problem. He's been sent to Earth by The Great One to destroy all hu-mans. However, one hu-man family has stubbornly survived Ro-man's Calcinator beam. Even worse, Ro-Man is beginning to experience strange feelings towards "the one called Alice." The Great One is most displeased!
"Robot Monster" (originally filmed in 3D) is a classic of the so-bad-it's-good film canon. Required viewing for fans of atomic age sci-fi or bad movies!
