Dollman (1991)

Tim Thomerson stars as Brick Bardo, a police officer from another planet who finds himself in a quarrel with his robotic head of a nemesis that flings the both of them to New York City. When he gets there, he quickly learns that like most Full Moon features, this one involves doll-sized characters... and he's the dollman!

New York City is a funny place. The Bronx here looks a lot like the gang lands in Los Angeles, doesn't it? And it doesn't help that so many of the gang members are latino, but NY? LA? Who cares? Those are both places that are only good to escape from anyway.

This one is surprisingly watchable due to Thomerson's tough guy approach and Jackie Earle Haley as the gang leader who wants to blow up the east side with a space bomb he gets ahold of. Despite that guy being in some shitty movies, he's not a bad actor.

Dollman isn't the only short thing about this movie. The runtime is only 81 minutes. Surprisingly with our protagonist being so damn short, there are very little effects to cash in on this. A lot of it is suggestive, but it isn't necessarily bad effects. Fortunately, I just found out that there's a sequel, where he goes up against... more small Full Moon characters... the demonic toys!
