Karate-Robo Zaborgar

A low-budget sci-fi action flick with a unique premise: an evil organization called Sigma kidnaps prominent business leaders to harvest their DNA, but only one hero can save them – Karate-Robo Zaborgar. With its 26-day production schedule and $3 million budget, this Japanese film is a remake of the 1974 series Denjin Zaborger. A blend of cheesy camp and special effects wizardry, Karate-Robo Zaborgar premiered at the International Film Festival Rotterdam in 2011 before hitting international screens with a shorter, edited cut.
