A murdered female police officer is brought back to life by a cold-hearted scientist to serve as "The Demolitionist", the ultimate crime-fighting weapon in a city overrun by criminals and internal corruption.
The film premiered in Los Angeles on March 10, 1995. It later received a limited theatrical release in May 1996 before debuting on video in July 1996.
The film has a 17% approval rating based on 6 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes.[2] Ray Mark Rinaldi of St. Louis Post-Dispatch highlighted the films camp aesthetics, and described the performances as a "cartoon brought to life."[3] Glenn Kenny of EW praised the film for its "low budget charm".[4] Lorry Kikta of Film Threat praised the action sequences, costume design, and dialogue. She also highlighted the performances of Susan Tyrell and Richard Grieco.[5] In contrast, TV Guide panned the movie, commenting that it was obviously inspired by RoboCop, but lacked the "inspiration's satiric viewpoint, or enough of a budget to create any memorable action scenes."[6]
