Highish budget 80s wasteland. *Villain had giant cybernetic claws.

I remember so much from this movie, I think there was even an (atri?) game with the same name, but not whether the movie came on tv in edited form, or whether it was just a teasing pg-13.

About half a dozen models (in the movie they're supposed to be some kind of space adventurers, but they look right out of a bikini pinup) land on a hostile world, are captured, and must be rescued by a rough-ish Han Solo rip off with a cute cyborg assistant-cyborg, who is damaged beyond repair (he activates a destruct device and she melts...to keep her files from being hacked, I guess). He comes across a spunky little dessert urchin who thinks hotdogs are made of dogs. Hero forcibly dunks her in a pond and washes her hair.

The villain in question hooks the models up to life draining machines of some kind, all the while gesturing about with his big hokey cyborg claws, which we find out later are loaded with deadly roman candels.

It might have already been reviewed here, honestly.

That would be Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone

Definitely SPACEHUNTER.

Karma for both of you, thanks so much!

...now to get it reviewed here, as I can only imagine how bad it'll seem to me now.

Or maybe I could look twice at the link and see it was already reviewed. Duh  . Thanks again.
