Cheap, trashy Terminator knock off about a martial arts expert (none other) who accompanies a female cyborg across post-apocalyptic America, so she/it can save mankind. The film was originally planned as a sequel to 1987's Master of the Universe, but funding problems meant the script needed a massive re-jig, built around sets and costumes which were all ready for the aforementioned production.

It's about the standard you'd expect from Cannon Films, who over the course of the 1980's released some of the worst films (ever).
