01
Turbo Kid
Why this pick
Its post-apocalyptic wasteland, synth-soaked 1980s aesthetic, splattery practical violence, and sincere underdog hero make it a polished cousin to Manborg’s bargain-bin future war.

The Void
Why this pick
For Manborg’s love of creature suits and warped genre imagery, this offers a much darker but similarly practical-effects-driven descent into cult horror and cosmic body horror.
03
Killer Klowns from Outer Space
Why this pick
Its colorful alien invaders, memorable handmade creatures, cartoonish violence, and earnest B-movie logic capture the same joyous affection for outrageous science-fiction horror.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
Count Draculon (Adam Brooks) and his Nazi vampire forces seek to take over Earth during the Hell Wars. A soldier (Matthew Kennedy) is killed attempting to fight the Count, then transformed into Manborg after his body is fitted with robotics. After Manborg becomes active in Mega-Death City, he meets with resistance fighters against Count Draculon. Justice (Conor Sweeney) is a gunfighter who resembles Billy Idol with an "Australian" accent who is joined by his sister Mina (Meredith Sweeney) and martial arts expert #1 Man (Ludwig Lee, voice-dubbed by Kyle Hebert).
