Out now on video; I don't think it ever made it into the
theaters. Low budget cyberpunk. The heroine is hired by a
gangster to be her bodyguard during an illicit chip deal. The
deal goes sour when the police break it up, and she flees across
country with the chips and with a robot driver programmed to be a
gigolo. She is pursued by a creature called Plughead, who has
D25 connectors embedded in his bald scalp. Much chasing, some
moralizing about ecological destruction, a bit of S&M, a nice
computer graphic for the title. Not worth it.

PS Plughead is played by Vernon Wells, who I believe was the
demon biker Wez in The Road Warrior.

Sounds like William Gibson has grounds for a plagarism suit here.

This one is only a tad bit better than Moon 44, which is a total bore.
Maybe not..they are both equally bad.

| 950.3 | Didn't really like this one. | POCUS::LAM | Fri May 10 1991 20:33 | 8 | |
I saw this on cable along with another low budget dud called "I Come In
Peace", they were on one right after the other. I liked this one
better than "I Come In Peace". "Circuitry Man" was in the theatres
here in New York City for about a week. As you can see it didn't last
long. The only thing I liked in the whole movie was the song that was
sung by Deborah Holland in the very beginning. The rest of the movie
was a real sleeper. Id give it a 2 out of 10; whereas, "I Come In
Peace" would get a 1.
