ok, so I remember watching this a while ago and can't for the life of me figure out what the name of the movie was so I can watch it again.

basically it was made in the eighties, plot was about killer robots made by an evil corporation of some sort, in the end I think humans storm the building where the robots are made and fight them... and well that's all I can think of. maybe early 90s, and for some reason I think there is an 'x' in the title, maybe at the beginning ... who knows.

Been an an 80s scifi kick recently and was really hoping for this one as well Smile

it's NOT one of these, already watched them...

nope, the robots are "normal" sized (and not controlled by humans).

^^ first link is definitely lol.

I don't think it was either of the second two, but both look like they're right up my alley (especially with titles like 'Eliminators' and 'The Vindicator' ). Dunno why but every once in a while I get a hankering for terrible 80s movies, although usually horror.

that being said, one of the message boards had a 'cyborg type films of the 80s' thread where I think I may have found it ...

nope, good movie though. not any of the ones I've checked out here either Sad

only other thing I remember is that the end is essentially a fight inside a office building, with lots of automated security type stuff along with the humanoid looking robots.

nope, nothing that mainstream. likely b movie trash that most people haven't seen, which is I guess why I can't seem to find it googling for 'eighties robot movie'.

The Black Hole looks interesting though, have to check that out Smile

You haven't seen Disneys Black Hole? I almost crapped in my pants when I saw this movie as a kid! I don't understand the low score on IMDB. I think it was a great experience Sad Just checked.. Tron is at 6.6 too... Those voters at imdb don't have any taste at all.

Hope this helps.


Here's another very interesting one, has some thought provoking concepts for it's time somewhat similar to the Black Hole but stands on it's own merits:

Saturn 3
