Production
Tim Kincaid first encountered Charles Band at the American Film Market as the former attempted to sell his independently produced film Bad Girls Dormitory.[2] While Band ultimately passed on acquiring Bad Girls Dormitory, he did tell Kincaid to show him any future projects he was developing.[2] Upon his return to New York, Kinccaid and his wife/producer Cynthia DePaula went over the various projects they'd developed and sent the material to Band who invited the two back to California with band acquiring Rapists from Outer Space (which would eventually become Breeders) and Mutant Hunt which would be shot back-to-back.[2]
Release
The film was released straight to video on October 28, 1987, in the United States[3] but was theatrically released in Europe (under the title Robot Killer, in France).[4] In January of the same year, another film by Kincaid, Robot Holocaust had received a direct-to-video release in the United States. The same year he would also release Riot on 42nd St. and Maximum Thrust (later renamed The Occultist or Waldo Warren, Private Dick Without a Brain), another film featuring Rick Gianasi.[5]
