Meanwhile the Queen, the leader of a fertile region called the Oasis, is suffering gravely from a disease. To help, her son (called the Prince) leaves seeking a cure in the land named Paradise Beach, which he thinks is really a utopia. Soon enough, the Prince and Ash cross paths, with her disobeying the Warlord's orders to help him escape. The pair flee with the Warlord in hot pursuit, still seeking his mother's cure...
It's not to be confused with the 1976 sequel to Westworld, Futureworld.

- Do Androids Dream?: Ash, after learning about souls from the Prince, asks if she's got one. He doesn't hasn't say she does, in his view, and Ash is grateful to hear this. Given how close Ash is to human, it seems pretty plausible she's got whatever humans do.
- Duality Motif: Ash has blue and green eyes. This appears to signify that, although she looks completely human, she's really an android.

This is subverted though as it doesn't happen, with the Warlord's raid letting them escape before Lei is forced into this.

- No Name Given: The main villains the Warlord, Big Daddy Love Lord and the Drug Lord are only called by these titles or nicknames instead of their real ones. This also goes for the Prince and his mother the Queen.
- Pint-Sized Powerhouse: Ash looks like a fairly petite, slender woman, though due to really being an android with Super-Strength even using her bare hands she's capable of dispatching opponents far larger during the film without difficulty.
- The Promised Land: In the post-apocalyptic wasteland of the film, the Prince is convinced that Paradise Beach holds cures for any disease, which can help his sick mother. He also was told there people can live forever. So he heads out for there, though he's warned it isn't all he dreams. It turns out to just be a fantasy.
- Psycho Lesbian: The Drug Lord, a ruthless and unhinged drug trafficker, is attracted to Ash, ordering she be reprogrammed to serve as her lover. Upon finding Ash and Lei together after having sex the previous night, she reacts in a jealous rage, ordering Ash's memory be wiped of this. She's no worse than the male Warlord though who also clearly wanted Ash. Given this and Ash's relationship too with Lei (who both are portrayed positively), it's downplayed.
- The Queenpin: The Drug Lord's actually a woman with a sizeable gang who follow her.
- Queer Establishing Moment:
- Lei is shown to be queer when she kisses Robot Girl Ash. In a moment Ash is shown to be too by kissing her back before having sex with Lei offscreen.

- Religious Robot: When the Prince and she take shelter in the ruins of a church, Ash learns of the religious basics (souls, God, sins, prayers) from him. She's intrigued, trying to pray for help from God with him, but then shuts down from the damage to her system before doing so.
- Restraining Bolt: Ash is initially compelled to obey whatever orders the Warlord issues her with a control device he has. It soon turns out she's capable of rebelling though, and breaks free in concert with a prisoner while the connection to the control device is damaged. She's not sure how this is possible at first, saying she must be malfunctioning. Eventually it's revealed she surpassed this control on her own, and she disobeys his orders to kill her loved ones.
- Ridiculously Human Robots: Ash can easily pass as human, with the appearance of a young white woman. Though a lot of the time she's The Stoic, even so she displays genuine emotions and truly cares for people.
- Robosexual: Ash is very attractive, built to appear like a beautiful young woman. She's desired by many humans because of that. The Warlord and the Drug Lord both want her, as does Lei. She only returns Lei's desires though, having sex with her, and they're a couple by the end of the film.
- Robot Girl: Ash is an android who's basicially indistinguishable from a human, made in the form of a beautiful young woman. Except for her slightly metallic-looking blue eyes, nothing really gives it away at first.
- Robot Soldier: Once humanity invented hard AI androids, they were used as soldiers, and this spiraled into a global war which completely destroyed civilization. Ash seems to be one, given her extensive combat skills (why she's made to appear like an attractive young woman is another question-possibly for infiltration however).

- The Stinger: After the film's credits have mostly passed, a final scene shows that Ash and Lei freed the sex slaves in Big Daddy Love Lord's brothel.
- Stripperiffic: Ash is a lovely Robot Soldier who's dressed in a top which shows off her stomach along with cleavage while she's wearing tight pants too. This makes some sense as the Warlord, who wants her for sexual use, gave her the outfit.
- Super-Strength: Ash looks like a fairly slight, slim woman but is capable of lifting up and killing larger men with her bare hands.
- Tanktop Tomboy: Lei, a female tomboyish mechanic, wears a tanktop beneath her coveralls.
- Tomboy and Girly Girl: Ash is a very feminine android who has the look of a beautiful young woman, long-haired in stripperific clothing.

They become lovers and ride off at the end.
- Toplessness from the Back: Ash is introduced from behind as she's standing nude, showing her bare back and buttocks.
- Wrench Wench: Lei is a woman who's a very skilled mechanic. She wears blue-gray coveralls and expertly patches up Ash's damaged torso.
