Eliminators (1986)
MANDROID. MERCENARY. SCIENTIST. NINJA. EACH ONE A SPECIALIST. TOGETHER THEY ARE ELIMINATORS!
A mad scientist uses the body of a downed pilot to build a cyborg he calls Mandroid. He then uses Mandroid as a guinea pig for his time-travel experiments, and, after they prove successful, he decides to send the cyborg to the junk yard. Mandroid is not amenable to this idea, however, and escapes. He sets out to find Nora Hunter, a robotics scientist who might be able to help him get revenge against his maker.

The 80s proved that all things are possible with enough cocaine.
Lol, right?
I love how they didn't even bother to make the prosthetic look like it's in his head, but tacked onto the outside.
Star Trek The Next Generation had better prosthetics at the time, hahaha.
Awesome.
To you who coined "mandroid": Are you aware of what andro- means?
Perhaps they didn't have a Greek dictionary at hand? 😉
The Andro Id is mansplaining. Man Droid is a droid who is a man. /s
Exactly, andro-man was right there!
Wouldn't that be Latin? (I genuinely don't know, just seems English gets a lot of that from Latin. Or perhaps English and Greek both get that stuff from Latin).
It's from the Greek combining form of anēr. In Latin it would be vir, as in virile.
it was me, the Manimal
I was guessing it was Mantis Toboggan (from Always Sunny)
Definitely check out the trailer linked above. /c/BMovieBonanza was created for this type of movie.
Whoa. Mandroid? No, that's a mecha-centaur.
All these things, AND Denise Crosby??
This looks amazing! Found a VHS recording on archive.org
I found the full movie with very high quality on dailymotion. Not sure if legal...
Now i want a Mandroid & Tetsuo (the iron man) crossover.
Oh! That does sound awesome! 🇯🇵🤖
Oh man. I remember the half man half tracked cyborg movie from my youth. I've tried to find it for years but didn't know what it's name was.
Thanks so much.
I'm glad you found your movie.
Don't mention it! :)
Mandroid sounds like the manservant of the future!
Andrew Prine, Patrick Reynolds, Conan Lee, AND Peggy Mannix? How have I never heard of this movie? Seems right down my alley.
That guy is actually a pretty good arnie lookalike. Could've been his stunt double.
That. Looks. Amaziiiiing (´⊙ω⊙`)
Wait! Denise Crosby! Produced by Charles Band! It gets more amazing the more I look!
It gave an impression that it was an inspiration for an Astron-6 movie Manborg (enjoyed the movie and love everything Astron6 related)
Just watched it.
The plot, the acting, the effects, the pacing... none of them were anywhere near as bad as I was expecting. They were often downright good. Is this movie... kind of great???
Thanks so much for the recommendation!
This seems well worth the watch.
It definitely is!
