Ever seen this movie? It's a typical 1980's sci-fi (ie: bad), execpt for one major thing... Stop Motion Mecha Combat. Behold! youtu.be/vUxDmKFCD2o

Ah man, I loved that movie growing up. My friend and I actually watched that last Friday (it's our painting day, beer, garage, movie, good times).
I'm still trying to figure out when the robots decided they could go into space...

I honestly wish there were more mecha movies like this. This movie DID have a sequel (in that it exists in the same universe) but it was bad... like... Star Wars the Holiday Special bad. So bad I won't even include the information on here, because I strongly feel it may kill mecha-joy as we know it.

I don't think I't's bad at all! When I was growing up in france as a kid I had about a dozen english recorded tapes that I watched over and over again. With the dark crystal and starwars. It's probably one of the building blocks thats built me into the SF fan that I am. I think it's great fun and worth watching if you like mechs or even general sci-fi from that era.
And it's a film about Giant ROBOT FIGHTING. Just skip the strangly matcho pro equal rites and pro american, anti USSR stuff because it's got GIANT ROBOT FIGHTING!!!!!

Robot Jox is one of my top 5 movies I would love to see remade.

I liked it but have not gone back to it recently. However I don't mind going back to the Japanese Godzilla movies, I love the people in suits stomping through model cities and power lines.
