Robofox
Simple premise has doctor Krista Lane experimenting with a female accident victim to create Angela, who is only Robofox by implication, never announced as such during the video. Lane is at war with her head doctor boss at the hospital, played by Randy West, and she takes out her vaguely feminist but highly neurotic tendencies by having her creation Angela act out - offing men right and left after humping them. In her remodeled body she has super strength, but the feature never really enters sci-fi territory, and the frequent violence is kept off-screen, just implied.
