Saw this movie many times when i was younger (it was usually on cable or HBO, etc...)
It was Sci-Fi film which took place in present day in some US city where a company (or person) was making these sophisticated little robots which resembled large spiders or something similar. The robots were equipped with poison (acid?) and were killing people.
One scene i remember is that someone was in a construction elevator at a construction site and there were several of these "robots" waiting for the person or perhaps even riding on the elevator with the person?
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks
UPDATE
With some extension searching this morning, i did find the movie.
Its called "Runaway" with Tom Selleck

Clue: Malfunctioning robots kill people in retail establishment Couldn't give any more clues as this is a pretty easy one.
