Robot Jox?

I've been staying with my Gran this week, and was looking through all my old video's and I was instantly drawn to Robot jox. I then stuck it in the video player and watched it.....it brought back old memories! I used to love this film and watched it all the time when I was younger.

I find it's still a great movie, and still love it

Anyone else seen it? What do you think of it?

I remember it with a fair degree of fondness, i've got the DVD of Crash & Burn (same company I beleive), but as far as I know Robot Jox hasn't had a DVD release

I suspect there may be a rights issue somewhere, as it seems the sort of thing one of the budget DVD companies would put out.

I just found this on Amazon:

It seems they have made a dvd afterall....I might buy it

I've never seen crash and burn, is it any good?

By the looks of things, you might be right, they may have been made by the same people, it has similar looking robots and one of the sayings in robot jox is "crash and burn", which the "jox" say to each other for good luck.

i remember Crash & Burn being the worst film i have ever seen. it had loads of continuity errors from what i remember ( lady exits a scene wearing leather pants and enters the next scene wearing jeans if i remember correctly) and the film built up to what seemed to be going to be a good ending then just ended...

i have fond memories of this movie just for being so rubbish :-)

robot jox was half decent when i watched it back when i was 14 ish not seen it in a while.
