Following the global devastation of the Robot Wars, the remnants of humanity fled Earth to establish New Washington, a domed city on the Moon.

Enter Omus (Jack Palance), a scenery-chewing cyborg-controlling tyrant who overthrows […]

Sybil Danning’s Adventure Video: Fist of Fear, Touch of Death (1980)
Also known as Dragon and the Cobra — perhaps to cash in on Williamson playing Black Cobra? — this was released as a Sybil Danning’s Adventure Video title, and man, that back title alone makes me lose consciousness. Maybe that’s Sybil using Dim Mak on me. Adolph Caesar — the man whose voice told us “A […]

Robotica (2026)
