Melanie Griffith may look like a redhead, but she talks and behaves like a blonde. She would have been much more suited to play the robot as she is not tough enough to be the fiery redhead. Griffith does manage to be attractive enough to steer Andrews from his toys. David Andrews is convincing as the uptight executive who needs a real woman. Ben Johnson plays the charming cowboy as good as always. Tim Tomerson steals the movie as the 80's desert wasteland villain. Brion James, Lawrence Fishburne, and Jennifer Balgobin have roles that are too small for their talent. The movie is an amusing little trifle that deserves it's cult status and should please fans of the broken civilization genre of the 80's.
