Eve VIII is a fictional gynoid featured in the 1991 "killer robot" movie Eve of Destruction, directed by Duncan Gibbins. She was played by Dutch actress Renée Soutendijk.
Overview[]
A scientist named Doctor Eve Simmons created an advanced gynoid for the military in her own image called Eve VIII, which she claimed possesses all of the passion that she herself lacked. More notable however, was the fact that the android housed a nuclear bomb. As with most such cases, technology ran amok and the Eve VIII found herself in the midst of a bank robbery where she was accidentally shot by automatic weapons fire, causing her internal explosives to go active. As such, Eve VIII became a wild killing machine, acting out the darker passions of her creator. She called upon her most base programming, which required her to defend herself at all costs - even if doing so, cost the lives of everyone else around her. Doctor Simmons enlisted the aid of Colonel Jim McQuade to stop her. [1]
