Unexpected fembots in media

[jolshefsky]

Kind of a counterpoint to my Miscategorized Media, or: Bummer, No Fembots. is this list that I'll try and keep updated with movies and TV that has fembots where none were expected, so probably a much shorter list. Basically where there's a fembot in something that you wouldn't expect it to have one. My loose set of guidelines for selecting media is:

• live actors, not animation.
• nothing about the media is specifically about androids (e.g. the story doesn't mention robots.)
• the android(s) are fictional (e.g. not a real-life robot brought into the show.)
• omit strongly-science-fiction-genre films because they often have androids anyway (including sci-fi-adjacent anthologies like The Twilight Zone.)

On to the list ... possibly with spoilers, and approximate timestamps if I can find them:

• Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982): In this horror film, "kids all over America want Silver Shamrock masks for Halloween. Doctor Daniel Challis seeks to uncover a plot by Silver Shamrock owner Conal Cochran."(IMDb) In a twist, there is a robot Ellie (Stacey Nelkin) that attacks Challis and gets destroyed by him (timestamp start 1:29:45).
• Mumford (1999): A comedy-drama film "set in a small town where a new psychologist gives offbeat advice to the neurotic residents"(Wikipedia); the "billionaire computer mogul" is building a robot-girlfriend in his lab rather than try to have a relationship with a [human] woman. The special effects are pretty good.
• Really Weird Tales (TV, 1986): A "science fiction horror comedy anthology series", it's kind of a satire of shows like The Twilight Zone. The first episode, "All's Well that Ends Weird", "Untalented lounge singer Shucky Forme is performing at a private party at the mansion of Wade Jeffries, a wealthy adult magazine publisher."(Wikipedia). It turns out Jeffries is making robot women to be eternally young models, including Forme's love interest Tippy (Olivia d'Abo).
• Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1978): A "jukebox musical comedy film" with a lot of nutty stuff going on. But in the middle of it, there is a character named Mr. Mustard with a van with computers in it and two female robots. They do some robotic dancing here and there, and have a fair bit of screen-time.

Did not expect female robots in Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, but they're there.
