I must urge you to avoid a film from the 80’s called Cherry 2000. This is a dreadful film. Melanie Griffith and this other actor who is not that famous star in it. Tim Thomerson who is in numerous b-films plays the bad guy. Tim Thomerson is such a wretched actor, and Melanie Griffith is awful in this film. It was a bomb in the 80’s when it came out and has not developed much of a cult status since, because it kind of rots.
The general idea is that in the future they have robot women to service men. This guy is making out in the kitchen with his robot woman and she is shorted out be dish soap. The model of the robot is now rare, and so he has to go out in what appears to be the Nevada desert to find a new Cherry 2000 robot to put the old ones memory-chip in. He employees the help of a desert tracker played by Melanie Griffith. There is a Mad max type roving gang that controls the area of the desert that the warehouse with the robot is in, leader played by Tim Thomerson. This time Tim is in a movie that isn’t even bad in a funny way. Oh Guess what? This will blow your mind! Main character falls in love with Melanie Griffith and learns that the love of a real woman is better then the love of a robot. I never would have guessed that would be how the film would end. That’s amazing. This is not the most predictable film I’ve ever seen.
No of course that’s exactly how it ends with the main character leaving behind the robot for Melanie Griffith.
It does remind me of something- Tatum O’Neil about 7 years ago came out with the allegation that, get this, Melanie Griffith took her to a sex orgy when she was 12 years old! Check the link I couldn’t come up with this myself.

That’s way more interesting then Cherry 2000 was.
