Chameleon
Australia
1998. Director: Stuart Cooper
Cast:
Bobbie Philips, Eric Lloyd, Philip Casnoff, Jerome Ehlers

The first film in a series of cable-cheapos
about the genetically improved battlegirl Kam (Bobbie Philips). Kam
is named so because she can shift color in order to adjust to the environment,
like a chameleon, and she is created by a guy named Cortez (Casnoff)
who wants to rule the world. Yes, the old world as we knew it has been
nuked once again and the crooks have taken over. Now Kam is sent out
to delete an extremist group living in the woods and who have developed
a new microchip which can destroy the economy. But instead Kam, who
is almost human, befriends these nice long-haired mountain people and
decides to turn against her creator Cortez. He in turn hires a new set
of killers who are sent out to wipe out Kam.
Okey, Bobbie Philips
look somewhat lost in that green leather outfit but, you know, she's
a mutant, it doesn't matter. She can ride a motorcycle pretty good,
shoot bad guys in the groin and turn invisible. If that isn't enough
there's also a fair amount of cheap comic-style action in the style
of TV's Dark Angel with some tasteful and discreet nudity to
pad things out. Further installaments in the series are a bit more expensive,
with more muscles and less character, and are quite awful. This one's
quite hard to resist and worth a look.
