July 7th.

My life is now complete.

 

[JdFoX187]

Now bring the superior sequel.

 

[- J - D -]

 

[B.K.]

I haven't seen that movie in years. I used to love it when I was a kid, for the mech action. I don't know if I'd want to watch it now. I'm sure it's probably a horrible movie.

 

[Busty]

Now people can watch it in high def and get fifteen minutes into the film before they realise..., this is awful..., but at least it's in high definition.

Nostalgia is not what it used to be.

But at least it's in high def.

I loved it as a teen... well, more like loved what they were trying to do. Even bought the DVD a few years back, tried to watch a bit of it. Not pretty.

What we actually need is a Rifftrax for it.

 

[xxracerxx]

Fuck yes

Day 1

Did i just see a chainsaw dick?...

 

[Slayven]

Now do Arena

[CadetMahoney]

Did i just see a chainsaw dick?...

Simpsons did it.

 

[Delta Assault]

Crash and Burn!

And by that, I mean great! Even though crash and burn is a bad thing, I totally mean the opposite.

Chainsaw crotch is one of the great innovations of sci-fi warfare.

 

[pixelation]

Simpsons did it.

Never seen that either (the episode i mean).

 

[NullPointer]

I saw that movie in the theater, for free, and got the novelization and a poster out of the deal too, and I still ended up insanely pissed that I wasted damn near two hours of my life to watch that crapsterpiece.

I shall never forget.

 

[uncredited male]

Those kinds of odds, don't exist.

 

[Savitar]

I remember discovering this at my aunts rental store and ended up loving it.

Granted that was over two decades ago

 

[DarthWoo]

I picked this out in a rental store as a kid, whereupon one of my older siblings who was along for the ride groaned.

 

[valkillmore]

Bring the IP back. I was having a conversation about this movie just last week and my buddies and I agree it was fucking rad and totally deserves to be reimagined. Get the Fast 7 director to direct it. Or fucking MICHAEL MANN can you imagine!

 

[PerezDeCorcho]

 

[Alex Connolly]

Co-written by Joe Haldeman, who said of the finished product after clashing constantly with director Stuart Gordon...

..".to me it’s as if I’d had a child who started out well and then sustained brain damage."

 

[Mister Wilhelm]

Now do Arena

I've tried so hard to forget.

 

[jackdoe]

This is probably gonna be a low quality, upscaled VHS rip on Blu-ray. Still a fun movie.

 

[Slayven]

I've tried so hard to forget.

80s scifi was the best

 

[Shmuppers]

oh shit

my dad showed us this as kids, it was too much for my brother and I's uninitiated minds

I'll pick this up

 

[Marion Cobretti]

All I can remember is the final fight between the two dudes was out of this world.

Came in here for gifs of that. No dice : (

 

[Morgoth]

This is probably gonna be a low quality, upscaled VHS rip on Blu-ray. Still a fun movie.

Scream factory puts a lot of care in all their titles. It won't be. They are basically the criterion of cult/horror films. 1/3 of my 173 blu-rays are scream factory titles

 

[Baron Von Beans]

Oh my Stars and Stripes. OP, you just made t night.

I saw this movie when I was a kid on TV. It was the first time I ever saw robots like that, let alone giant ones. Because of the time,bi never found out the name of the movie. Like ten years later, I found out what it was, but was never able to track it down.

I used to play with my friend who caught it on tv with me, we'd imgine we were the robots fighting. Now it's time to do it as an adult!

I will own the shit out of this movie.

 

[EBE]

Robot Jox is shit, though.

 

[Hilbert]

I used to love this movie! But I always knew it was awful.

 

[Fury451]

This isn't a blast from the past, it's a full on nuclear detonation from the past. I totally forgot about this movie until I saw the title, and it all came flooding back.

Such a terrible movie. Will get.

 

[Mister Wilhelm]

80s scifi was the best

I miss the animatronics most.

 

[digita1alchemy]

This news has made my week.

I'll see you in hell. Geronimooooo!

 

[Odoul]

Crash and fucking BURN!

I'm copping.

 

[Darth Pinche]

ACHILLES!!!!!!!!!!

This is fantastic. One of the best, bad movies.

Yes, that is robo-chainsaw penis action!

 

[Oracle Dragon]

Now people can watch it in high def and get fifteen minutes into the film before they realise..., this is awful..., but at least it's in high definition.

But at least it's in high def.

You're so negative you're a walking minus sign!

Now do Arena

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHKnU-YkOE4

Gul Dukat! And Quark! Well... now I have to watch it

 

[Wag]

 

[Aselith]

Oh dear, hope the transfer is good!

 

[UltraGunner]

Guillermo Del Toro better watch out.

 

[androvsky]

Gul Dukat! And Quark! Well... now I have to watch it

And Ivanova!

 

[Vinegar Joe]

I loved this movie as a kid. Still have my VHS copy. Glad it's available on BR, but for some reason this feels like a film that should be watched on VHS anyway.

Actually I rewatched it quite recently. Yes it is awful but never anything other than entertaining, even if unintentionally so.

Got massive flashbacks watching Pacific Rim.

 

[HyperZone<3]

when ambition faaaaaaar outpaces resources, the movie.

but then again I don't even know what a Stuart Gordon film would look like if it were adequately funded, considering his mostly excellent career I don't think I really want to either.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Oh fuck. Looks amazing.

Spoiler

Ahahahaha, already out in gemany. Ordered

 

[Zvonimir Boban]

Fuck it, I'll probably buy this. Can't say no to chainsaw dick

 

[DiscoJer]

I can say that I was one of the few people who saw this in the theater back when it came out..

 

[Darth Pinche]

I can say that I was one of the few people who saw this in the theater back when it came out..

My friends and I saw this in a theater back in high school! There were maybe 3 other people in the theater.

 

[TheSadRanger]

This news has made my week.

I'll see you in hell. Geronimooooo!

So much gif material from that clip. The janky ass jungle gym they used in that training segment is pretty hilarious as well. It looks like someone just welded random ass pieces of conduit together.

Watched the whole movie a year or so ago, soooooooooo awful.

 

[Snaku]

I remember catching this at my cousin's house on HBO late at night in the early 90's. My one and only viewing, and I still remember it quite clearly. Easily one of the most entertaining pieces of schlock I've ever seen, and I can't wait to finally see it again.
