Synopsis

In the backdrop of Earth's polluted future, a female FBI agent removes Danner, a pleasure android from an asylum to coerce him into helping her hunt down the criminal psychopath Plughead. But Plughead, who has tangled with Danner before, has his own plans. He is forcing a female scientist to help him manufacture life extending longevity chips, which he intends to sell to rich and powerful clients.

Reception

Writing in Entertainment Weekly, J. R. Taylor rated it C− and wrote that the film recycles the plot from the first film, though he praised Metzler as "one of the more interesting genre guys around".[1] Michael Weldon, author of The Psychotronic Video Guide, called it "an almost plotless, sometimes funny comedy sequel".[2]
