80's SCI-FI

Okay ladies and Gents, the help of the forum is needed.

In the 80's there was a bad (but good) Sci-Fi film that featured a man who was half tank. I want to say it was the Exterminators but I must be wrong because I cant find mention of it anywhere. Do my fellow Geeks no the answer?

Thanks for the help!

I'm sure 90 people will beat me to it by the time I hit Post, but it was "The Eliminators" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091003/

I am sure others are thinking I created a cool forum to talk about great Sci-Fi from the 80's but instead they find a lame question with an even worse answer. Sorry, we could talk about Last Starfighter or Flight of the Navigator instead.

I have a movie that I have been looking for too. I believe it came out in the late 70's or ealy 80's. A spaceship crashes to earth in a lake and they have to look around for parts to fix their ship. They look like humans. I know its vague but that's all I can remember. Anyone have any guesses?

Said movie also had a pre-Star Trek:TNG Denise Crosby (aka Tasha Yar). I remember it also had a little robot sidekick for the hero.

Eliminators? Looks like something that would play in a triple feature with MetalStorm and Spacehunter.
