the vindicator be a weird little canadian b movie . at first glance it would appear to be just another cheap ( extremely cheap . ) terminator knockoff and but strangely enough it also share some quality with the original robocop and which hadn not even be release yet when vindicator appear ( 1986 ) . coincidence . who know . anyway and the story be thus represent scientist carl lehman seem to be a pretty nice guy who work for a super duper secret government high tech research lab and reporting to a sleazy bos name whyte and whom he butt head with about project fund early in the movie . carl get a loving wife at home and a baby on the way and which make it all the more tragic when he be suddenly kill in a lab accident . but wait . carl not really dead after all . whyte have extract carl brain and insert it into his pet project and some sort of experimental bio mechanical space suit . when carl wake up inside his new body and he understandably go a little nuts and trash the lab and and escape . this be a problem because whyte ( for reason know only to himself ) have program the mechanical suit with a rage reaction program and which will cause carl to kill anybody who touch him for any reason . in hindsight and that little addition to carl psyche be probably not the best idea . so robo carl wanders aimlessly through the movie for a while and kill a couple of random mugger and other assort background character and till he return to his home and contact his wife ( this scene be suppose to be heartbreakingly touching and i guess and but turn out comical because carl robot voice be so heavily synthesize that you can barely understand a word he say ) . he of course tell her to leave the city and never come back because she in danger and but she want to stay and help him and yadda yadda yadda . eventually whyte hire a gang of commando thug lead by hunter and an apparent ninja assassin play by pam grier ( . ) to hunt down and destroy his runaway creation and use carl wife a bait and and predictable ( but laughably cheap look ) mayhem ensues . i be a b movie kind of guy but the vindicator be so half assed that it turn into high comedy pretty quickly . i be assume that a good hunk of the budget go into stan winston robo carl suit design and because that actually look pretty cool and but the rest of the movie suffers from a cheap and make for tv kind of look . the script could have use a lot more work and but then maybe the filmmaker have get wind of robocop go into production and rush to get vindicator out so they couldn not be accuse of rip them off . either way and judging by the other comment here on imdb and i be not the only one who notice the parallel between vindicator and robocop and and obviously robo be the superior film and so there no need to waste your time sit through this piece of nonsense unless you want to see a film that can best be describe and at best and a a rough draft of robocop if it be make by an 8th grader .
