Robowar (1989)
Robowar is a 1989 Italian science fiction action film directed by Bruno Mattei. The film features a group of military commandos going through a jungle and being stalked by a robot called Omega-1. The film was shot in the Philippines and was one of the many Italian films following Apocalypse Now (1979) made with a Vietnam War-theme. Mattei added science fiction elements to Robowar after seeing the American film Predator and decided to make a similar film. The film was released in Italy in 1990 and on early home video releases in Asia and Europe. Retrospective reviews of the film have derided it as a rip-off of Predator.
Plot:
that it was acting sporadically, and that he was there to check out the match-up between the decorated Marphy and Omega-1.
The next day, they continue, and are further stalked by the robot. At one point, as Mascher reviews a computer to check Omega-1’s location, one of the commandos tosses it into the river, declaring that Macscher is now in the same danger they are. Later, Mascher reveals the radio device which can destroy Omega-1, but the robot kills Mascher and others, leaving only Black and Virgin, and takes the radio destruct device.
