Review of Robot Wars (1993) by Alex M — 01 Jan 2014
This is one of 2 movies advertised as a sequel to "Robot Jox," the other being "Robot Jox 2: Crash and Burn." Neither sequel has much or anything to do with Robot Jox and you do not need to watch them in order. The only thing similar between the three is that they all have giant robots in them.
If this movie had been on MST3K it probably would have been up there with the best episodes. There is plenty to make fun of but it still has a comprehensible plot which is key for enjoying any B-movie. If you find humor in silly techno-babble and cheesy one-liners ("Remember the Alamo!") you will be in for a treat. The special effects are obviously not to the level of "Transformers" but they aren't as bad as "Godzilla!" either. There are no people in monster suits running around, just a lot of stop-motion models.
The bottom line: Giant robots fighting, cheesy one-liners, silly technbabble, and hott chicks. What's not to love?
It's definitely one of the better "So Bad It's Good" movies I've ever seen (and I've seen quite a few).
