Alienator (1990)

A female _Terminator_ with some _Star Wars_ elements thrown in, this movie is typical of the era coming from director Fred Olen Ray; actually it's a bit comedy too, which I assume was intended. _Alienator_ doesn't have a great deal to recommend it, but it does provide a rare occasion to a see an imposing woman (Teagan Clive) portray what is supposed to be a formidable character (the Alienator). You don't see that very often since Hollywood seems obsessed with using women who are more on the dainty side to fill similar roles (of which there are few to begin with). That of course is something not done as a rule with the guys, and to many of us it looks equally as absurd. 3.5 rounded up to 4 stars as a prop for doing something different.
