    one might venture that it's ungentlemanly to call any lady (or indeed chap), a bitch. Unless they ask nicely and take some dark pleasure from it, of course. But no more of that here ...

    Quality entertainment.
    I recommend Lady Terminator as the other half of the double feature.

    Just wondering, if she'd bitten off his, uh, well, a part of his anatomy, wouldn't there have been a lot of blood on her mouth? Of course, I guess, what with her mechanical reflexes and all, she could have cleaned up just before the other guys busted open the door

    I'm just saying.

    I remember seeing this when originally released. We misread the title as "Eva Destruction" and thought "What a GREAT drag name!"

    I continue to stand by that assertion.

    Renée Soutendijk is respected Dutch actress and tried really hard with this film (what's that old joke about trying to turn chicken sh*t into chicken salad?) She was good in "The Fourth Man" and very good in "Spetters".

    @Julius Seizure. (the CANUCK one): She does seem like a good actress. In the clip she really seems to buy into the role completely, which cannot have been easy.

    @Julius Seizure. (the CANUCK one): I saw her in "The Fourth Man" when I was in high school - where she actually has a scene that is somewhat similar to this one - and it completely warped my brain.

    1. That explosion was total late 80s, early 90s kickass.

    2. That guy that got bitten looked like the truck stop version of Tom Selleck. Magnum P.I, baby!

    In the movie A.I. the robots were very life-like (obviously) but there those moments when they would give their 'not-quite-human' selves away because of a pause in a facial expression or strange body movement. Not exactly scary but when you've been lulled into complacency around them and then you're suddenly reminded that you're dealing with a soulless machine has to be somewhat unsettling. And then you're lulled back into your comfort zone when they offer to get you a mojito from the bar! humans=fail
