as much heat at the restaurant.

Damn!

Wrap whatever you can

around your hands.

I can't stand this anymore.

I gotta get outta here.

I gotta get outta here!

Come on, Suze.

Hang in there.

What now?

Find some way outta here.

We're gonna have to defend ourselves.

This place got a sporting goods store?

Peckinpah's. Let's go.

How are we gonna get in?

Don't worry. I got the keys.

Jesus.

Ferdy, propane tanks. Grab

the biggest. All right.

Let's see.

What about shells?

Twelve gauge.

Here.

Great. Thanks.

And some 223's.

Let's go send those f***ers

a Rambo-Gram.

You sure you know

how to shoot that?

Yeah. I saw

dirty harry 24 times.

All set?

Yeah.

Good.

One of them ought to have heard

that. Dead man could've heard that.

Hey, fellas,

we got company.

That didn't take very long.

Steady. Go for it.

Ferdy, now!

I gotta find Greg.

He needs me.

Let me outta here!

Suzie, please.

The guys told us to go down

to the parking levels.

Come on, kiddo. Greg wouldn't

want you to give up now.

Oh, go to hell, Linda!

You do what you want,

but I'm getting out of here.

Suzie, stop it! Please.

Greg needs me.

I know he does.

Jesus.

What's that?

Robot blood.

Not too shabby, huh?

We're not finished yet.

We still got two more of these

suckers around here someplace.

We gotta get more tanks.

What are you thinking?

I got an idea.

Really, this is not

a good idea. Bullshit!

Greg could be hurt.

They all could.

I'm gonna find them.

I've got to.

What do you think?

Well,

If we gotta go,

let's not go empty-Handed.

Sh*t. I didn't think

they'd work.

Never hurts to try.

I guess not. Give me a hand.

Let's pry this baby open.

Come on.

You know, I gotta worry.

Report from the front:

Ferdy's gotta worry.

Yeah. What if these things

can read our minds?

They're gonna be awful mad

when they get to me.

All right.

Come on. Let's go.

Give me the gun.

Right.

Take the cap off

and stuff the cloth in.

That's it? That's it.

Light it and throw it.

You sound like

you've done this before.

Regular or unleaded,

it gets the job done.

Protector 1 back on-Line.

Hey, guys, how's it goin'?

Almost done, Ferdy.

You think mike got out all

right? For his sake, I hope so.

Right now, I'm more concerned

about the girls. You and me both.

Hey, I almost forgot. How

much do I owe you for the beer?

Forget it, man. If we get out

of here, you owe me a six-Pack.

Just make sure that those

cords are good and tight.

Are you sure

this is gonna work?

With those things,

I'm not sure of anything.

Ferdy, how's

the panel coming?

The doors work.

I bypassed the circuit.

But forget about going up or down.

It's controlled by the computer.

Do you hear anything

unusual? Only my heart beat.

No!

It's not stopping!

Come on!

Help me.

Help me up!

Suzie!

help me!

We've gotta help her!

Thank you,

and have a nice day.

Oh, god.

Come on!

You f***ing bastard.

Get 'em to safety!

It's no use!

Go! Take it!

Now!

Rick!

Nice shot.

Dad's a marine.

According

to my calculations...

provided we survive

the night, of course...

we're gonna be in hock to this

place for the next 85 years.

How many tune-Ups

is that?

Just a sec.

2,900,431.

Maybe we should raise

our rates.

Hey, dead-Eye.

Yo.

Nice shootin'.

Thanks.

Tell me one thing,

though, huh?

Why did you leave

the air shaft?

I mean, you were

safe there.

You were safe.

Suzie thought you were in

trouble. She just wanted to help.

I'm telling you

you should've kept her there.

She told you what happened. Why

don't you just leave her alone?

Shut up.

You just shut the f*** up!

Hey. Do you guys mind keeping it down?

There's another one

of those things out there,

And you're gonna

bring it right to us.

There's another one?

Why haven't we seen it?

Why?

I'll tell you why.

'Cause the f***er's

out there waiting for us.

He's waiting to pick

us off one by one!

But I got news for you.

He ain't getting me.

Greg, you're

not thinking, man.

We got destroyed

by staying together.

And a lot of good

that did Suzie, right?

Wait. Wait.

I got an idea.

The master computer is

somewhere on the third level.

We shut it down,

it shuts the robots down.

Well?

It's worth a try.

Computer, huh?

Let's go trash the f***er.

Come on, guys! Let's

take it! Wait! Slow down!

Greg, will you wait!

Man, he's losin' it! We're lucky

he doesn't get us all killed.

Greg, stop!

Greg, wait!

Greg, please!

Stop!

Come on, guys!

The coast is clear!

Greg, no! Greg!

Greg!

Thank you.

Have a nice day.

The first one.

He didn't kill it. Go!

Protector 3 to level 2.

Engage intruders.

Protector 1 to level 2.

Engage intruders.

It's stuck. Let's get

it unstuck, and fast.

Come on! There's no time.

We're not gonna make it.

Come on!

Go.

Alison! Come on.

Alison, are you all right? I think so.

Where to?

Escalator, third level.

What about the doors? We can't

lock them. They'll get through.

Maybe so.

Maybe not.

Let's go!

Instructions:

attempt entry, level 3.

Affirmative.

Hold it.

This way.

Up here.

Protector 3, level 3.

Search proceeding.

Hold it, Ferdy.

They could be out there.

At least we're safe here for

the moment. Yeah, for the moment.

Those things can go

anywhere they want.

Maybe we'll all stand

a better chance if we split up.

Are you kidding?

The moment any one of us go out there,

we're dead meat, yesterday's news.

Damn it, Ferdy,

will you stop it!

Will you just stop it!

Linda.

Linda, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to upset you.

I...

it's all right.

It's not you, Ferdy.

I guess I'm just not used to being chased

around a mall in the middle of the night

By killer robots.

it's in!

Yeah, and it won't be long before it

comes our way. We've gotta get outta here.

Not so fast. One of them could've doubled

back. We could get picked off out there.

Look, if those things

want some target practice,

Why don't we give 'em

some targets?

Get out of here!

Ferdy, now!

Rick, get out!

Linda!

You son of a b*tch!

Rick, no!

Let's go find

that computer.

Where the hell is it? Probably

up one of these service corridors.

There's a million doors.

We'll never find it.

Okay, you try over there,

and I'll try over here.

I don't want to split up.

What can happen?

You want a list?

We're wasting time.

Look, if you see anything or

hear anything... you'll hear me.

Okay.

Ferdy! Ferdy!

Ferdy! Ferdy!

Ferdy!

Ferdy!

Help!

Alison, move!

Get out!

Laser malfunction. Laser

malfunction. Engage intruder.

Engage intruder! Laser

malfunction! Laser malfunction!

Engage intruder!

Please wait, intruder.

Stop right there.

Ferdy! Alison, get the hell out of here!

Oh.

Thank you.

Have a nice day.

Come on, you little bastard!

Hey!

Have a nice day!

Hey!

Nice shot.

Thank you.

Have a nice day.

Jim Wynorski

Jim Wynorski (born August 14, 1950 in Glen Cove, Long Island, New York) is an American screenwriter, director, and producer. Wynorski has been making B-movies and exploitation movies since the early 1980s, and has directed over 75 feature films. His earliest films were released to movie theaters, but his later works have predominantly been released to cable or the straight-to-video market. He often works under pseudonyms such as "Jay Andrews," "Arch Stanton," "H.R. Blueberry," "Tom Popatopolis," and "Noble Henry." His movies often spoof horror films: Cleavagefield, for example, parodies Cloverfield, The Bare Wench Project parodies The Blair Witch Project, and "Para-Knockers Activity" parodies Paranormal Activity. A character in the film The Final Destination is named after him.In 2009, the documentary Popatopolis, directed by Clay Westervelt and named for one of Wynorski's pseudonyms, chronicled Wynorski during the making of his soft-core horror film, The Witches of Breastwick. The film serves as a partial biography, with clips from many of his previous films and includes interviews with Wynorski, his contemporaries, cast, and crew. In 2016, he directed Nessie & Me, marking the first time that he directed a children's film. The character Jack O’Grady directly references Wynorski's earlier films Dinocroc vs. Supergator and Piranhaconda when he encounters Nessie at the start of the film, hinting that Nessie & Me is canon to those film series, as well as Monster Cruise, with many characters from it appearing in Nessie & Me as well. more…
