Poor Bastards of Cinema: ROTOR (1989)

 This one Scene is giving me a whole handful of updates- thanks, terrible Film!

ROTOR is mostly a Robocop rip-off, although the robot is a killer in the vein of a Terminator.
With his burly mustache and outfit, he looks more like one of The Village People though.

In the Film, he's let loose early and pursues a woman due to her (fiancée) speeding.

She flees to an all-night Diner (that is randomly playing footage from the High School's Homecoming at 3am).

Moments later (how long- who knows?!?), ROTOR arrives and enters through the Kitchen too.

The Cook is nonplussed.
For no clear reason, this guy sees what he must assume is a Cop and...tries to stab him...
ROTOR easily disarms the buck-toothed guy and presses his face onto the grill.

I guess he dies- since they just cut away and never address it.
So, in summary, woman flees a murders robot/android...to a public place and someone dies.  Our Heroine!

The moral: don't randomly try to stab someone for something as innocuous as entering through the wrong door.

Next time, the carnage continues as people decide to try and protect this random woman.  It obviously will not end well.  See you then...
