VHS Cover Of The Day - R.O.T.O.R.

Ok, so the movie sucks and I honestly can't find one redeeming quality other than this rad cover art. 
I'm telling you, this movie is bad, horrible and just plain painful to watch. Now I love bad movies, because for the most part for me they fall into the "awfully good" category, but not this one.
I think what pisses me off more than anything is the 100% completely misleading cover. Look at the image on the back cover to the left, the one where he's pointing a gun at the camera. "That's" what he looks like in the entire film, not like the cool looking robot on the cover. Though this film was made in 1988, the guy looks like he crawled right outta 1975.
The acting is gawd awful, especially the guy who plays the lead Coldyron, Richard Gesswein in his one and only movie. You just have to see it to believe it. The direction is lame and the action laughable. But they've got a badass cover and I'm convinced if it were not for that cover, this film would never have gotten seen by anybody otherwise.

    1. I don't know but it's pretty badass. As awful as this film actually is, I want that poster on my wall.
