The Eliminators 1986

From Wiki- Eliminators is a 1986 science fiction action film directed by Peter Manoogian, starring Andrew Prine, Denise Crosby and Patrick Reynolds. The plot centers on a "Mandroid" constructed by an evil scientist from the body of a downed pilot, who teams up with the scientist responsible for android technology, her pet robot Spot, a riverboat guide and a martial arts warrior. Back to me: It is a Charles Band movie, so that means it was gonna be at least interesting.  It has a little bit of everything popular from the time frame in it, and even a Star Trek connection.  Well, a soon to be Star Trek connection, anyway.

I think I found this movie in the late 80s on VHS.  I sure don't remember it being in the theater, but there is a trailer out for it.  I quite enjoyed it back then, and have seen it at least one more time since then.  It used to show up on TNT or TBS or maybe even Sci-Fi back in the 90s and 00s. but I don't know that I have seen it offered on a streaming service recently. There is also a DVD release, but no Blu Ray from Arrow or other boutique stores.  One would think they might be interested in something like this!

Of course, I really haven't looked, so there is that.
