Factual error: Petrol cans sold in shops are always empty. They would never contain petrol when bought. There would be nowhere in a shopping center to get petrol exactly for health and safety reasons.
Chopping Mall (1986)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Jim Wynorski
Starring: Kelli Maroney, Karrie Emerson, Russell Todd, Tony O'Dell
The second of the three robots is killed, but Rick and Linda die in the process of killing it. Alison and Ferdy are then left to deal with the last robot. When they find it, it hurls a fire extinguisher at Ferdy, seemingly killing him. Alison then lures it into a DIY shop which she has covered in paint and white spirit. She lights the flammable mixture with a flare, thus killing the last robot with fire. Then Ferdy wakes up, having been just knocked unconscious, not killed by the robot. The two hug as day breaks and the credits roll.
Ferdy: Look, I'm sorry if I made you angry, Linda.
Linda: It's not you, Ferdy. I'm just not used to be chased around a mall in the middle of the night by killer robots.
Trivia: Towards the end of the film, Allison hides from the last remaining Protector Robot by hiding in a pet shop. The name of the shop is "Roger's Little Shop of Pets," which is a reference to "The Little Shop of Horrors," a film directed by Roger Corman, husband of Julie Corman who produced this film.
