4.0 out of 5 stars Blu-ray, 3 Jul 2009
The picture is a vast improvement over any previous versions I've seen, except in the cinema, and the Audio is very good, but unfortunately not 5.1.

There's a commentary from Stanley and the Producer that's entertaining.
There's two of Stanley's short super 8 films, one of which is the short that became the feature HARDWARE.
There's also deleted and extended scenes, and some brief behind the scenes stuff. Pretty interesting.
The Sci-fi short SEA OF PERDITION is brief but entertaining.

The excellent documentary THE VOICE OF THE MOON is included, but has nothing to do with the film. It was previously available on the DUST DEVIL 5-Disc set.

Also inside is a 26 page booklet full of information about the film, and a few collector's cards. Nice!

Overall a good Blu-ray. It's just a pity they didn't give it a 5.1 mix. A making-of documentary would have been nice too. Still, highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cyberpunk classic re-assembled, 20 Jun 2009
A drifter emerges from the radioactive wasteland of some indeterminate future with some discarded techno trash. It falls into the hands of an artist looking for material to sculpt.Unfortunately for her, it`s the remnants of a military killer robot which proceeds to re-assemble itself from the detritus of her workshop. The mechanical monster was originally developed as a means of addressing human overpopulation in a world unable to sustain their numbers. It`s one aim is to kill anything with a pulse as quickly and efficiently as possible. For a low budget film of this vintage, the Blu-ray transfer is light years better than any previous version. While the storyline borrows from various sources, this does`nt detract from it being an outstanding movie of it`s type. Hardware is well made, visually inventive & atmospheric. The warm, rusty colour scheme of much of the picture reflects the radioactive enviroment within which the movie is set. There are some very interesting & unusual extras, including a director`s commentary, deleted scenes & various short films & documentaries from the director. Hardware is a sci-fi/horror classic that has been hanging around, ignored or forgotten for years, so it`s great to see this little miracle of imagination & invention getting a decent release at last.

4.0 out of 5 stars Dystopia With The MTV Bug, 2 Jun 2009
By Brady Orme (Edgbaston, England) - See all my reviews
  
Does anybody remember Richard Stanley? That erratic South African director / screenwriter responsible for the mini-classic "Dust Devil" and notorious for being booted off "The Island Of Doctor Moreau" by John Frankenheimer? Oh yes, and let's not forget the rumours of him returning to the latter's set and attempting to sabotage it... Which is probably why no film studio will touch him with a barge pole nowadays. Anyway, his first movie has finally gotten the go-ahead for release - "Hardware" (1990) and by God, if any movie needs more attention lavished on it...

Known intimately by only the hallowed few through late-night viewings on old-school Channel 4 and currently the Zone Horror channel, the film details how scavengers Mo Baxter (Dylan McDermott) and Shades (John Lynch)come across the M.A.R.K. 13 droid in a heavily polluted 21st Century landscape and attempt to make use of it - Mainly by giving the remains to Baxter's estranged girlfriend Jill (Stacey Travis) to turn into an art project. As the name of the robot states (Mark 13 is a New Testament gospel verse that states "no flesh shall be spared") it's out to fulfil it's programming, which entails slaughtering Jill and taking it from there. Everyrobot needs to start somewhere, right? Cue mayhem and Future Shock on a low budget, which you won't mind to tell the truth. And how Stanley managed to persuade Lemmy from Motorhead, Carl McCoy from Fields Of The Nephilim and Iggy Pop's voice masquerading as a radio DJ to feature is beyond me.

The Blu-Ray (as well as the DVD) is a lavish affair, which is a sight to behold in this Age where four-quid re-issues are the norm. Look, you even get conceptual art cards with it by Gawd! Expect commentary from Stanley himself, deleted scenes and a documentary, "Voices Of The Moon". Apocalyptic film always get's me in a lather, and "Hardware" is right up there with the greats. OKay, maybe not "Def Con 4", but close. That was a joke.
