I didn't know this movie existed. I figured after the success of the Transformers movie, there really needs to be a modern day mech piloting film. If there is one floating around, point me in the right direction
I was a huge Battletech fan so I was dying to see this movie. Pretty disappointing on all fronts. Groundbreaking? Man, I can't agree with that at all... It was just stop-motion models. Acting and writing were pretty poor as well. "Aliens" was made four years before this so I hoped for a lot better. The only thing I came away liking was the rocket fist into the bleachers (dark humor to me at that point).
@drackbolt This is just a fun B movie. The stop-motion effects were done by Dave Allen, who was a genius at this kind of stuff. Stop-Motion requires a lot of technical skill and artistry. Try to make a stop-motion movie and then come back and criticize.
lol its been almost 19 years since I watched this movie, and now searched it on utube.., this movie never get out of my mind since the first time I watch it,,
I liked Robot Jox mainly because it represented something unique in an age where everyone ripped off everyone else. Yes on the surface one can say "omg Battletech rip" but if the know the two universes they are completely unrelated. Their about as related as Armored Core and Gundam, only relation, giant pilotable exosuite robotic tanks. It was a good film too, a lot of 80's sci-fi was too heavily overshadowed by Star Wars...
Awesome

Believe it or not, Robot Jox has a pretty decent MGM DVD release.

My brother and I watched this movie about 5 times when it first came out. Look how horrible the effects were. Great movie though

Granted compared to today the effects are crap, but when it came out it was groundbreaking. This movie will get old in my opinion
