Assassin (1986) – Sandor Stern.

A veteran FBI agent (Robert Conrad) is recalled from retirement to eliminate a rampaging killer cyborg (Richard Young) that has gone murderously rogue. This fun TV Sci-actioner remains more than watchable fare, enhanced by a fine cast of familiar genre faces, and I've always got room for one more Man Vs Cybermaniac B-thriller! Assassin certainly isn't a neglected cult classic, but it is competently made, with decent action, and I've always admired the quality character work of gifted Thespians Len Birman and Jonathan Banks! Perhaps, those weaned on a high fiber optic diet of Six Million Dollar Man, and Reb Brown's roustabout Captain America might get more of a cybernetically enhanced kick out of Sandor Stern's 'Assassin' than others.

"Almost every guy I meet is pure plastic!!!"
