I'm tempted to suggest Robojox but that's possibly a bit too niche, in the far future disputes between national blocs aren't settled by war, they are settled the the pilots of giant robots, these elite pilots are the Robojox!(and i'm not wondering if i've remembered that from somewhere.
IIRC currently only available via the Arrow Fillms "Enter the video store" set (£59.99rrp although it was on sale last month for half price) I may have the set largely for that film

Transformers the movie (1986 one)
As the thread appears to have reached the "name an obscure film no one else has yet mentioned" phase. I'd like to nominate the 1990 film Hardware. About a self-repairing robot which goes on a rampage. I remember there being a bit of a hoo-hah about this film when it was shown on Channel 4, not sure why now that I think about it. I remember it being quote a trippy film though.
Is that a Japanese film? Cause that description has stirred some recognitions in the forgotten cellars of my brainI'm tempted to suggest Robojox but that's possibly a bit too niche, in the far future disputes between national blocs aren't settled by war, they are settled the the pilots of giant robots, these elite pilots are the Robojox!(and i'm not wondering if i've remembered that from somewhere.

US, but using models that I suspect may have originated/been very very heavily influenced by Japan
(or to be more precise Gundam)There was at least one semi sequel (Crash & Burn), and possibly another.

I am surprised it hasn’t been mentioned but another Arnold film; The 6th Day.
I think it's because it was a direct copy/very strong homage of a 200AD future shock that they actually got sued for successfully.

My Mrs can't stand red Sonja. I would say that the vast majority of Arnie films are good though. He did a more recent action one that I quite enjoyed.
YES, so much better than the new movies.

so bad, its good. (that was ******* bad lol) although the music was pretty on point.As the usual suspects have been recommended, I'll suggest something different. I've not seen it, but I've been recommended this on a "so bad it's good" basis.
It sounds tremendous! Like the films Channel 5 used to show when it first aired.
I mean just look at this. It puts the bar scene in Terminator 2 to shame...
