Droid is a 1988

MPAA rating. The storyline is an imitation of Blade Runner, while one character is blatantly modeled on Anthony Daniels as C-3PO. The executive producer is Kirdy Stevens
.

Plot

In

masturbates with a trombone), Candie Evans, Tom Byron
, Keisha, and Kristara Barrington. Third-billed is an assassin called the Blade (Steven Densmore) who is hired by a man he interrupts masturbating.

Eventually, Taylor's apartment is attacked while he is in the shower, and his Droid goes haywire. He gets the decoder and uses it, and is reunited with Nicola. Azteca is not really destroyed however and "to be continued" looms.

Production

The original

Motion Records
. The packaging claims that the film is "a rollercoaster ride of special effects, award winning cinematography, and original motion picture soundtrack." No mention is made of what awards, if any, its cinematography (credited to Sly Burns) received.

The only non-background characters who do not engage in sexual situations in the edited version are Rochester and the Blade (whose end credits billing is much lower than his billing on the box or opening credits). The Taylors' sex scene is almost subliminal—several minutes spent on the two characters just slow dancing with flash cuts to their romantic lovemaking. Presumably, in the uncut version, the dancing and sex were given closer to equal weight.

One character is a virgin pleasure model that is threatened with termination for being a

virgin
. Taylor agrees to have sex with her after she says, "you're not married, are you?" another blatant moment revealing the film's pornographic origins.

Reception

Adult Video News praised Cabaret Sin for "time and effort (and apparently money)" put into the production. It mentions the plot's similarities to Blade Runner but says that aesthetically it is more comparable to Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome and Star Wars, as well as Café Flesh
. It described the film as a mood piece with hardcore missionary and oral sex. It assessed the film as "definitely worth a look," and that response probably led to it being edited for mainstream release.
