United Kingdom released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Digital Stereo ), French ( Mono ), German ( Dolby Digital Stereo ), Italian ( Mono ), Spanish ( Dolby Digital Stereo ), Dutch ( Subtitles ), English ( Subtitles ), French ( Subtitles ), German ( Subtitles ), Italian ( Subtitles ), Spanish ( Subtitles ), WIDESCREEN (1.85:1), SPECIAL FEATURES: Interactive Menu, Scene Access, SYNOPSIS: In this arch sci-fi sex comedy-action extravaganza, a hard-nosed female mercenary helps a hapless yuppie find a new body for his robot girlfriend in the post-industrial wasteland of the American Southwest. In the year 2017, what little remains of civilization feeds off the scrap heap of 20th century waste, while even casual sex has become a matter of regulations and contracts. Like many other members of the L.A. white-collar elite, Sam Treatwell (David Andrews) takes refuge in a quasi-marriage with his beloved sex robot, Cherry (Pamela Gidley). After a soft-focus, bubbly sexcapade short circuits Cherry's body, Sam considers replacing her, but the shoddy production values of modern robots make it obvious that the vintage appliance is irreplaceable. To put it simply, the guy's in love. The wistful romantic therefore heads out to The Zone, a forbidding no man's land, where he hopes to find a new "chassis" in which to insert Cherry's unique personality chip. To do so, he needs the help of a "tracker," and E. Johnson (Melanie Griffith) is just the woman for the job. The gun-toting, red-headed road warrior leads Sam through a dystopian desert landscape full of psychopaths and opportunists toward their final destination: an abandoned warehouse full of antique androids. Along the way, Sam learns what it's like to interact with a woman who has brains and a heart instead of a microchip. Filmed in 1986, Cherry 2000 didn't receive its limited theatrical release until 1988, the same year star Gri...Cherry 2000 ( Cherry Two Thousand )

I didn't know what to expect from this movie but Melanie Griffith is normally good so I went for it.
In a world where the natural resources are running out bounty hunter (Melanie Griffith) is hired to help Sam (David Andrews) find an identical love robot (a Cherry 2000 model) as his last one blew a fuse while making love in the bath. Yeh you get the idea!
This movie has a pretty good support cast which includes Ben Johnson at his best, the action is good and the script is not too silly.
So yes a good 3 star effort.

Ok so I admit I saw this film in 1989 and I had the hots for Melanie Griffith.
It has got better than I remembered it.
Yes it is a dated Mad Max/2000AD post-apocalyptical style of film where men have robot women for their needs because of the contractual, health and safety, control of substances hazardous to health obligations necessary to have a night out with a real woman gets in the way of dating. A bit like present day dating 'obligations'.
The only problem with the robot women ( sort of stepford wife ) is that they are not waterproof something you would have thought the designer would have anticipated.
Still, I am glad I watched it again, I still love it, and Melanie was as hot as I remembered!!!!!

In the future (as seen through the bottom of a tequila bottle in 1987) a guy's sex-robot wife breaks down. So naturally he has to head out into the wastelands to get another one. But it's dangerous out there. So he brings Melanie Griffith.
There's something so loveably wonky-brained about this picture that it seems to defy anything as limiting as a "review". Here's a few of the people in it: Tim Thomerson and Brion James (a marriage later consummated in Albert Pyun-land); Ben Johnson and Harry Carey Jr (by special permission of John Ford); Robert Z'Dar (Maniac Cop 1-3! Frogtown 2!)
The whole thing sort of reminds me of a laid-back version of Judge Dredd's episodic trek across the Cursed Earth, meeting weirdoes all the way. Terrific score by Basil Poledouris too.

Shapeless and incoherent
This film is officially bonkers! It has little plot, little cohesion, and was basically produced as a vehicle for the then rising star that was Melanie Griffiths. Read more
