Plot hole: In the whole film, between the robots and the teens an incredible amount of damage is done to the shopping centre, including smoke, fires and explosions. These things would all easily trigger fire alarms and a sprinkler system...yet the fire alarms never go off.
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.
