The Vindicator (also known as Frankenstein '88 and known in Brazil as Roboman) is a 1986 Canadian science fiction film directed by Jean-Claude Lord. The film is a modern-day retelling of the classic Frankenstein story set in the 1980s. It involves a man who was killed in an accident in a laboratory, but revived as part of an experiment as a cyborg. The film was released by 20th Century Fox and released on video by Key Video (a division of CBS/FOX Video), and is now out of print. The special effects were by Stan Winston. Despite numerous plot similarities, and most notably some nearly verbatim key scenes to the film RoboCop, The Vindicator was written and filmed several years prior to either's release.
As of 2012, the only known DVD release is in Brazil, where it is known as "Roboman".
