Plot: Bobby (Lorenzo Lamas), a policeman with bionic eyes, has been assigned to protect Pamela (Kari Wuhrer), a famous actress targeted by kidnappers. It turns out that the men after her, Matthews (Chris Sarandon) and Vivyan (Peter Coyote), hope to clone Pamela and then market the clones as sex slaves to a depraved and corrupt clientele. The cop and the actress fall in love as they combat the bizarre and ingenious weapons that pursue them throughout the city.
Terminal Justice AKA Cybertech P.D. is the kind of movie that came out every few months in the 90s when Virtual Reality was the next big thing. There are some interesting themes in it despite it also being good B movie fun.
It could be seen as a precursor to AI where in the far distant future of 2008 people can use technology to have virtual sex with an actress called Pamela (Kari Wuhrer). Lamas plays a cop, Bobby who lost his eyes and now has bionic implants which can be controlled by Cybertech. He is assigned to protect Pamela, but as you’d expect no one can resist his luscious locks and they fall in love.
Tod Thawley plays Cybertch employee Hiroshi Takamura who is Bobby’s new partner, so they can try to take down the evil Matthews (Chris Sarandon) who wants to clone Pamela and create a billion dollar industry of sex slaves. Sarandon is at his sleazebag best here as he has no redeeming features and is just a hateful villain. So is his partner Vivyan (Peter Coyote) who is the brains of the operation.
I thought the idea of the Hellraiser drug was an interesting one as it makes the users enjoy killing making them more efficient soldiers.
Some of the acting isn’t the greatest, but Lamas is awesome and Kari Wuhrer is a Goddess; most importantly we get plenty of action. There are a couple of fight scenes but it’s mostly shoot-outs and a few explosions. It’s still a well paced 87 minutes and the kind of film I can (and do) watch regularly.
It looks like the majority of the film was made in Toronto as I recognized a few familiar landmarks which is always cool.
Overall, Terminal Justice AKA Cybertech P.D. is very 90’s but still has some interesting predictions of the future and where we may be heading. It also has enough action to keep things moving and an awesome lead in Lorenzo Lamas whose hair is as fabulous as always.
