Perhaps the worst of the "Nemesis" films (and that says A LOT!),this mess features so many flashbacks to part 2 that you might as well say that you've seen them both, even if you've only endured this entry. Making matters worse are two wisecracking cyborgs who have absolutely no entertainment value. In other words, they are a perfect fit for this endlessly boring cinematic mistake.

Part 2, Take 2
Back without a plan
Continuing directly from where part 2 ended, Alex (Sue Price) wakes up in a desert. She meets Farnsworth (Tim Thomerson),the villain from part 1, who offers help, but secretly scans her because the cyborgs from the future are still trying to find out more about her. The not very trustworthy mercenary Edson (Norbert Weisser) and the mentally deficient, but brave and loyal Johnny (Xavier Declie) join Alex in the fight against Farnsworth and the cyborgs.
The basic idea of part 3 is go back to the same locations (in Arizona) as part 2 and blow up a few more buildings. ** Spoiler** It develops no real solution to Alex' problems and simply kills everyone in the end, so she may start all over again in part 4. ** End of spoiler ** Neither the complicated structure with flashbacks within flashbacks nor the cheap, awful neon light glow effects used almost every minute make it more user-friendly. The jeeps turning into moving bubbles were totally pointless. The killer twins with white hair are an awkward attempt at the self-irony of trash movies. I watched the 4 Nemesis movies (which I watched first in the 1990s) again now in chronological order for my reviews and voted 7/7/5/5, so you easily see I was not as satisfied with part 3 as with its predecessors.
Total Ca-Ca
This was utter garbage. Probably 30 minutes of this is reused footage from 2, the attempt at an amnesia plot is so stupid and pointless that it ruins everything they did. But then there's the AWFUL painted on effects, like someone just got final cut and found the "blur circle" feature. Drawn on glowing eyes, needless yellow glow, just total crap. I don't know if they ran out of time or money but probably half the movie is missing and the attempt to piece together what they have is terrible. AVOID THIS CRAP.
