Top agent Delilah dies in a risky mission against weapons dealer Kercharian. She is revived using high-tech medicine and given artificial body parts. She returns as an invincible superwoman and continues her fight against Kercherian, who is currently seeking plutonium from Russia.
The production was filmed in 1992 but not broadcast on television until 1994.
It was released on video in Japan, Sweden, and the UK in 1993, followed by the USA and Germany in 1994. The film was known as Robospy in Australia and was released on video in the UK as Cyborg Agent.
The overall concept may be based on RoboCop (1987), which was regarded as a modern classic at the time.
A hideout uses the password "swordfish", a reference to Horse Feathers (1932).
Delilah and Paul watch clips of It's a Wonderful Life (1946) on their Paris hotel's television, dubbed into French.
