Robert Patrick, born in 1958 in Marietta, Georgia, is recognized for his commanding presence in cult cinema. He made a notable appearance in Equalizer 2000 (1987), where his intense performance aligns with the film's gritty, post-apocalyptic narrative. Known for portraying antagonistic figures, Patrick's career took off with his role as the T-1000 in Terminator 2: Judgment Day, but it is his work in films like Equalizer 2000 that cements his status within the realm of exploitation and grindhouse cinema. His ability to embody authority and menace makes him a fitting figure in the SassyFlix catalog.
Equalizer 2000
In post-nuclear Alaska, a fascist group ("The Ownership") battles rebels in hopes of possessing a massive weapon—the "Equalizer 2000" of the title, created by the ex-Ownership Captain Slade who joins the rebellion to defeat Mayor Lawton, who killed Slade's father (a The Ownership's field commander) and too he wants to kill General MacLaine, The Ownership's leader, to be the new leader. In a bleak, postnuclear future world, warring factions struggle to claim the Equalizer 2000 (builds the ultimate machine gun), the one weapon powerful enough to guarantee survival.
