There's nothing new about Hands of Steel

(1986) Hands Of Steel/ Vendetta dal futuro DUBBED SCIENCE-FICTION ACTION DRAMA

Obviously inspired by "The Terminator" made in 1984, and the "Mad Max" movies because of the apocalyptic environment. Dubbed into English from it's original language, which is according to imdb.com, the movie was supposed to be in Italian. Co- written and directed by Sergio Martino, with Paco Queruak (Daniel Greene) programmed as a cyborg to execute an important person, who stands up for the average people. Paco manages only to injure him, and while escaping from the police/ FBI started to inhabit some of his own human traits. Corrupt senator, Francis Turner (John Saxon) sends whatever he can have Paco destroyed, since Paco can link Turner to the attempted murder. And while people are trying to find him, Paco seeks refuge on a deserted café joint, bonding with the owner, Linda(Janet Agren), consisting of arm wrestling competitions. Amazingly, this movie was made one year before the original "Robocop" movie in 1987, and may have also encouraged writer and director James Cameron to turn the 'Terminator' played by Arnold Swartzenegger into a good guy in "Terminator 2: Judgement Day", but the whole experience is so cheesy and sometimes silly.
