Scratch that, I'm nailing the lid on this can of pedantry-worms
Apparently it is a Space Opera, a sub genre of science fiction.

It's a book of short stories exploring the effect and behaviour of Asimov's three laws of robotics. The first of which is "A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm".
But the temptation to add a killer robot got the better of them, pretty much missing the point of the book.

**Spoiler alert **
I thought the point of the film was that the robot did what he did for the good of humanity rather than an individual human, often referred to as the "zeroth" law of robotics in Asimov's universe. So it was in keeping with the theme of Asimov's robot works, if not the individual "I, Robot" book.

Ones that don't require you to know any Hong Kong bootleggers with film reels older than film itself, anyway.

Shonky FX, six words of dialogue, (mostly 'Yor!' and 'rargh!') and a flimsy punch up.
Been too long, man. I'm totally adding this to my download list.

Check out Strike Commando, Space Mutiny, Mercenary Fighters, etc. Reb is an absolute joy to watch.
