Into this mix comes Omega Doom, who does his best to trick the Roms and Droids into wiping the other out. Right away we know we're in Pyun territory because we have an enormously complicated setup that manages to neither make sense nor be all that important to the action that follows. And there is no reason for all the characters in this film to be robots. The only direct evidence we have that most of the characters are robots is that they make whirring sounds when they move. Quite a few scenes unfold sounding as if ED-209 is powering up in the next room.
Nothing impresses a flapper android more than ammunition.
But Pyun has learned a thing or two in his nearly twenty years of moviemaking. The cast list shows no fewer than seven Roms and eight Droids, most of whom are played by actors with Slavic names. This is kind of weird because we can only remember seeing four of each type of 'bot in the entire film. In this role, Hauer is either putting forth a brilliant acting effort or coasting his way through yet another b-movie, depending on your perspective. If you think that Omega Doom should be a robot with no emotions other than the occasional smug, knowing look, then Hauer's the man for the role.
