I lasted about 7 seconds with those credit.

Man, where do you find al these hilarious movies. This is definitely another one of those "get a few pals over and get refreshed while watching a shitty movie". I would definitely enjoy watching this pish, but only after a few pints..

Was there ever any explanation for that robot? Does it help do the dishes or something?

Well not rushing out to find a copy today.  This does sound like a movie I'd watch if I found it channel surfing.  Too bad it was wrecked by the studio, it pretty much seems it would have been better as its original story.

Easy. Just pick any b-grade fantasy, horror, sci-fi, or action film from the '80s and there's a pretty good chance it'll be a stupid good time.

Teen Genius was going to college for robotics, and BB was basically his life's work. I think at one point they show BB mowing the lawn, but he was more of a companion/pet robot than a maid.

There have been a few attempts by fans to get the studio to release Wes Craven's original cut of the movie, but I doubt the studio will ever bother, since the sales it would get probably wouldn't make it worth the hassle.

Well, they clearly didn't teach him how to fill out a proper risk assessment. Anyone knows that if you combine humans and machines into one you get murderous machines. I mean, one look at this clip (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpTHrdemfQo) tells you enough, although I guess Teen Genius didn't have youtube to help him..

Haha! Superman III is actually the only Christopher Reeve Superman movie I haven't seen. But now I just might have to.

Did I just inadvertently drop a spoiler on you again? I saw this one years ago but somehow I remember this bit (not the rest though). It seems a bit clumsy now..

How dare you spoil the masterpiece of cinema that is Superman III.

No worries, we weren't even planning on watching it, since it it seemed too stupid, even for us. But that clip has intrigued me.

You'd love it I'm sure. I'd have to rewatch it myself to say anything more about it..
