Robot MOTW- The Colossus of New York

 

From Wikipedia- "Following an accident, Jeremy Spensser's brain is transplanted by his scientist father into the huge body of an unattractive, frightening cyborg, to save his brilliant son's mind so that it can continue to serve mankind. Soon, his son's brain becomes transformed by the experimental procedure, losing key attributes that make him human and define his personality."  It also develops death rays from it's eyeballs, and of course, runs amok before Jeremy's son manages to touch his lost humanity and shut the robot body down.
  There were always plenty of stills from this movie in various monster mags, but the movie itself was rarely mentioned.  I had no idea how dour it would be when I saw it for the first time in the 90s (thanks, MonsterVision!).  It is not a happy movie.  However, it is a good one.  I'm kinda surprised Sven hasn't aired it recently.  Ross Martin is Jeremy, it was fun to see him not be Artemis Gordon.  I would like to see the movie again.
