- TriviaThis is one of many occasions director Albert Pyun has used the name "Brick Bardo". He also used it for a minor antagonist in the Jean-Claude Van Damme movie Cyborg (1989), and first used it in Radioactive Dreams.
- GoofsSome of the stock footage shown during the South Bronx montage are actually not of the South Bronx.
- Alternate versionsGerman VHS release by Highlight Video cuts 29 seconds of the movie to qualify for a FSK-18 rating while also avoid being BPjM indexed. Only in 2020 was the uncut version granted a FSK-16 rating.
- ConnectionsEdited from Buck Rogers in the 25th Century (1979)
Featured review
Brick Bardo (Tim Thomerson), a tough cop from the planet Arturus, pursues his evil nemesis Sprug (Frank Collison), a living disembodied head on a flying machine, across the far reaches of space to Earth (the South Bronx, to be precise) where he discovers that, by Earth standards, he is the size of a doll.
But as the saying goes, size doesn't matter, and after Sprug teams up with the local gang who have been terrorising the neighbourhood, Bardo becomes a miniature Dirty Harry crossed with Paul Kersey from Death Wish III, blowing away the scum and punks with his powerful side-arm.
Dollman is so cheap that it lifts special effects shots from the cheesy 70s/80s TV series 'Buck Rogers in the 25th Century', but producer Charles Band and director Albert Pyun are no strangers to movie-making on a shoestring and still manage to provide a reasonably diverting time despite the obvious budgetary limitations.
Early scenes feature some neat full-body explosions, Bardo's gun being capable of blowing people completely apart; Thomerson puts in a fun performance, delivering his Eastwood influenced one-liners in a suitably gruff manner; and there are some truly daft moments that are just too ridiculous not to enjoy (Bardo's dive through a window and onto a moving car is hilarious!).
