Anyone remember this movie?



One of the reasons I'm so hooked up on this Mechwarrior universe :)

When they made this move, back in 80's (or 90's not sure), it was everything kids dreamed of. You have to respect that, it's classic :)

I saw the movie years ago, and wondered why thy had to use that story and not one actually out of mechwarrior, or Macross.

I'm sure somebody had the rights tied up so nobody could do that...

Hmm, remember that movie. Terrible. Also, about 44 seconds in between 42-45 seconds the red robot takes a hit from the missiles...sorta looks like an Awesome with the no neck face and broad shoulders.

I think I remember trailers of it but haven't really seen it. Would be cool to check it out as B-movies are fun sometimes.

I don't understand the hate for robot jox. It was a movie about mech combat. For the early 90s this was pretty bad *** film.

amgaaaaaaad this movie!
one of my childhood favorites, right along with Macross Plus!

It's sad they don't make them like this anymore, sometimes I think the filming of detailed miniatures and models looks better than CGI. it certainly maintains the realism the film makes are going for!
