...fact that the most interesting character in the film is the fat Mexican with dark glasses who plays La Bamba in a Tijuana whorehouse. He has an air of authenticity and uniqueness that virtually every other face in the movie lacks. Bob brings Ritchie to the whorehouse, where the soon-to-be star gets the idea of expropriating the song behind the movie's popularity...
...Nina Ananiashvili, 24, has a lovely, sensuous line, strong feet and a crisp attack. She is also, ineffably, an old- fashioned girl whose spirit summons the perfumed kingdoms of ballet. The most important advantage she has happens to be young Liepa, 25, her frequent partner. Fair as she is dark, he is attentive, handsome and gallant.

Its plot describes a marriage of venality between psycho punks and white-collar killers, to rule a city in the near nightmare future. One exec (Ronny Cox) has devised a robot, ED 209, to patrol the streets, but ED is too slow in the brain and too fatally quick on the draw. So another schemer (Miguel Ferrer) assembles the spare parts of a mangled policeman (Peter Weller), fuses them with some state-of-the-art plumbing and creates a bionic bobby...
