"When acclaimed playwright Barton Fink is brutally gunned down after the premiere of his new Broadway show, his butchered body is resurrected as a cybernetic writing machine by RKO Pictures to script their new wrestling picture. This is the premise of RoboFink, a startlingly pointless attempt to crossbreed the sci-fi satire and violence of RoboCop with the quirky, surreal literary drama Barton Fink . A complete failure as a remake of either film, RoboFink ("Half man, half machine, all blocked") suffers from a wildly improbable and ill-conceived storyline and a jarring, inconsistent tone. The one highlight is John Mahoney, who lends his velvety southern drawl to the alcoholic battledroid WP-209, delivering the classic line, "you, sir, have fifteen seconds to comply.""
