#114 The Vindicator (1986)

James, Clint, Charles, and the Mayor sit down to dissect this "masterpiece" of '80s sci-fi cinema, The Vindicator (1986) The captivating tale of Carl Lehman, a scientist who becomes the unfortunate victim of a tragic lab accident (cue dramatic music). But fear not, for the wonders of monkey-based corporate science come to the rescue! In a stroke of genius, they transform Carl into a bionic man (because movie scientists will never learn not to play God). Now, armed with superhuman strength and endurance, our bionic protagonist embarks on a mission fueled by the most profound of motivations: revenge! Watch as Carl, with all the emotional depth of a rusty tin can, battles the villains responsible for his predicament. Also, his ex-best friend tries to get with his smoking-hot wife.

Starring a bunch of Canadians, Pam Grier, and Stan Winston made the suit, so that's good.
