Summary

In a dystopian future, the evil Count Draculon (Brooks) has taken over the world with his horde of vampire demons. The fate of the universe rests on the shoulders of a single soldier, brought back to life as MANBORG (Kennedy), the man-machine hybrid that the world has been waiting for. Together with his gang of misfit resistance fighters from Mega-Death City, Manborg sets out for his ultimate battle, facing impossible odds and near-certain death.

A hilarious sci-fi parody, Steven Kostanski’s debut feature was an instant classic and remains a goofy epic for the ages.
