"IT'S MACHINE VS MAN IN THE ULTIMATE BATTLE FOR THE FUTURE!"

In a post-apocalyptic New York, a nomad and his robot battle evil forces to liberate humanity from enslavement.

BAR TRASH continues our 14th sensational season — TRASH PLANET 3: APOCALYPSE! — with the return of former gay porn director Tim Kincaid and his ROBOT HOLOCAUST (1987).

Tim Kincaid developed his filmmaking career as a pioneering director of gay hardcore films, working under the pseudonym ‘Joe Gage’ to co-create the ‘Working Man Trilogy’ (1976-1979), setting the benchmark for adult entertainment featuring universally rugged, working class men. Subsequently veering into the mainstream, Kincaid last appeared at BAR TRASH with another of the four films he made in a flurry (1986-1987) for legendary producer Charles Band, MUTANT HUNT (1987) aka “The textbook on psychosexual mutant cyborgs” (Avery McNeilly).

On its quest to save the Earth, ROBOT HOLOCAUST features flesh-eating mutants, lots of semi-naked wrestling (can there be too much?), giant worms, a C-3PO clone, Amazonian women, and malevolent AI (sounding a little like Darth Vader…). Shot over 15 days in the abandoned Brooklyn Navy Yard, this lo-fi apocalypse is full of no-budget special effects, actors in clunky robot suits, partial nudity, wayward acting, and some very peculiar hand puppets. Savaged by the bad film bros, there’s a lot of love in Token Homo’s heart for this serving from humanity’s trash pile.

Polite notice: We are presenting ROBOT HOLOCAUST with subtitles from the best available digital source.

Films are served with themed drinks, introductions, intermissions, prize giveaways, and subtitles / captions where possible. Tickets from £3.50 + fees. Adults 18+ only.
