Death Machine: is it just me?

I really liked this film. It has Brad Dourif playing his usual mad scientist type, a bunch of semi-competent and v. endearing anarchists (one of whom has cool face paint), an ultimate soldier suit, a really really scary nasty metal beastie, and a pretty decent female lead. It is funny and sad and undoubtedly trashy... but, the mangled baby thing aside (which is pretty dodgy and unnecessary and frankly weird) I like it. Am I the only one?

I've got a copy of this in my collection. Very trashy and low brow, but I kinda like the HUD the machine has, Brad is good, some nice details and touches, and big guns.
If you like this check Split Second.

I loved it. I loved all the geek refs to Cameron and I think the evil dead. (It's been a long time since I saw it.) But what else whould expect from the director of Blade? It looks cool, moves fast and blows up loads of stuff.

Sweet.

Yeah, Death machine was a pleasent surprise. I love finding gems amongst the crap the turns up in straight to video fair. (Like Road Killers or When The Bough Breaks.)I would have loved to have seen this on the big screen.

Cholister, I've seen this a couple of times and for the life of me, I don't remember the mangled baby?
