In spite of new Yasser Arafat and Hussein We must go back to the positions of last year that Israel had no right to invade in the first place otherwise we will be out-mandeuvred.

ANDROID is set on a space station, year AD 2036. Aboard, Dr. Daniel (played by Klaus Kinski) strives to perfect his latest android — a beautiful and supposedly passive woman — Cassandra One. He is assisted in this illegal project by his previous creation, Max 404 (billed as 'himself).
Complications arise when three escaped convicts on the run from the Terrapol authorities, board the station in their damaged craft. them, Maggie, is a woman. who can therefore provide the necessary 'female electricity' to bring Cassandra to life.
From then on the plot thickens! The doctor tries to woo Maggie into taking This experiment; Max, wno overcas uic doctor's plans to 'phase him out' and replace him with Cassandra, rebels and tries to convince the convicts to help him escape; LAC convicts become reliant on Max space station to help them evade the Terrapol police.
The film is, in really funny. Max's sabotage of the doctor's attempts to 'seduce' Maggie is hysterical, as is Maggie's blunt response to the doctor's proposals.

is noticeable that throughout the film 'perfect working (represented by the androids), and the 'perfect women' (Maggie Cassandra), all play consistently rebellious, and in the women's cases dominant, roles. As Cassandra says, 'We are not meant to be governed by the whims of men'. Wherever there is exploitation ana oppresSUll there is also rebellion.
But reality also raises its ugly, violent head in this sci-fi drama - Maggie's fate is hardly a sursadly, that in AD 2036 it would women are still expected to 'know their place Your average macho male space traveller doesn't take kindly to a woman telling him, I don't like my decisions made for me.
Despite some rather odd litle touches - or exCassandra One is brought to by the magic spark of sex (yawn, yawn!) - and some slow parts in the first half, this is a film really worth seeing.
Great performances by Klaus Kinski and Max 404' the scenes with some beautiful twists had me literally on the edge of my seat -then almost cheering in the aisles! Socialist Action
