After Clone Wars, I watched Hardware (1990). After this I'm probably going to get drunk. I'd invoice Dragorn, but the fact of the matter is that I'd made that decision well before watching Hardware. The movie was pretty effective at removing any doubts about this decision - I'll give it that.

The soundtrack has Ministry and Public Image Limited. Robocop had vastly better religious imagery and PTP.

Robocop also didn't turn into a bitchingly incoherent mess at the fifty minute mark.

The director was fired after one day of shooting on The Island of Dr. Moreau (not the first Jungle Epic in which Brando couldn't remember his lines).

There's a reason for that.

  

  

Worst use of a fractal in recorded history.

Bonus points for people on being fire and not realizing it. Double bonus points for Iggy Pop, Lemmy, and Grade-Z acting. Would have made a bangup story arc of Total Recall 2070. Serious bonus points for Drone Sunrise. Also being based on a 2000 AD comic. Boo to the writer and editor.

Looking like a cross between SuperPatriot and the lameass Big Bad from Virus ? Priceless.

 

A must-see for anyone who could stomach Cyborg, if for no other reason than the overlong slow-mo of the Linda Hamilton insert clubbing the botcorpse with a baseball bat. The movie definitely has its moments - as with my previous "review," I haven't spoiled the film by telling you about any of them.

It was entertaining - I've seen a lot worse, especially in the misuse-of-slowmo department. Thanks to Dragorn for pointing me at this thing. When I get home I may well watch the original version.
