Ever since man climbed from the primordial ooze he has dreamed of creating vigilant robotic sentries. Prehistoric cavemen stood watch outside of their caves, and thought to themselves "I wish I had a robot to do this". The 1960's was filled with wishful thoughts of the future. Spurred by the space race, computers and robotics became an obsession within the scientific world. Despite this enthusiasm, there should be caution. Robots are potentially evil and well known haters of their creators...man. Many films have tackled this subject (The Matrix, Terminator), but none have captured this threat as perfectly as Chopping Mall or as it's also known KILLBOTS. Chopping Mall tells the story of a technologically savvy mall that employs three robotic security drones. They work and function perfectly until a freak lightning strike activates their primary objective, to kill man. These killers definitely don't follow Asimov's Three Rules of Robotics. Some hard working mall employees fall prey to the rampaging automatons, before rallying and fighting back. The battle is epic and the first salvo in the man versus robot battle. I believe this film is based on a true story. Use the sacrifice of these youngsters as a message. Never trust a robot.
Okay, most of the above was nonsense, but this is a perfectly cheesy and fun movie. There is good gore, good boobies and killer robots. And the poster is one of the best ever. Check it out over pizza and beers and have fun.
