The Horror!? 16: Hands of Steel (1986)

This might well be the best arm-wrestling-killer-cyborg-with-a-conscience movie in the history of Italian cinema. Of course it has none of the style (or budget) of director Martino's earlier gialli.
Only John Saxon as evil (and really, is there any other kind?) industrialist and George Eastman (in a very small cameo) do something I can describe as "acting", the budget was obviously as low as conceivable, but there are enough silly little ideas and quite dynamic action scenes to make it worth watching.
And for the ladies: Beefcake!
