Break out the oil cans and oversized wrenches; we’ve got the film that proves once and for all there’s nothing cooler than giant robots beating the crap out of each other! So feast your eyes on the ultimate killing machine: part man, part metal and all awesome. Yep, in this brutal post-apocalyptic world, patriotic heroes must pilot multi-storied mechanized death-bots to settle disputes as electric gladiators! Robot Jox is the most expensive movie ever birthed by Charles Band’s Empire Pictures (Ghoulies, Trancers and other vhs staples) and the money’s all on screen: ambitious stop motion animation & in-camera effects, impressive miniatures & practical models, a great orchestral score, plus the stylish attitude and directorial flourishes of filmmaker Stuart Gordon (Re-Animator, From Beyond). It’s a rollicking piece of futuristic entertainment, scripted by famed author Joe Haldeman as a combination of Saturday morning cartoons & serious science fiction, a perfect late night flick filled with cold war allusions, Greek mythology and even a gigantic robot chainsaw penis!
