What happens
Robowar (Italian: Robowar - Robot da guerra) is a 1989 Italian science fiction action film directed by Bruno Mattei. The film features a group of military commandos going through a jungle and being stalked by a robot called Omega-1. The film was shot in the Philippines and was one of the many Italian films following Apocalypse Now (1979) made with a Vietnam War-theme. Mattei added science fiction elements to Robowar after seeing the American film Predator and decided to make a similar film. The film was released in Italy in 1990 and on early home video releases in Asia and Europe. Retrospective reviews of the film have derided it as a rip-off of Predator. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
