Overview
Mark 13 is a government-built killing machine programmed with artificial intelligence, able to repair and recharge itself from any energy source. Through a series of coincidences, the cyborg’s head ends up in the home of a sculptress as a bizarre Christmas present from her boyfriend. Once inside its new home, the cyborg promptly reconstructs the rest of its body using a variety of household utensils and proceeds to go on a murderous rampage.

Viewing Notes
Hardware makes the most of its low budget to deliver a pretty decent future horror, with some great robotic effects and gore.
As if that weren’t reason enough to check it out, it also features a cameo by Lemmy from Motorhead as a water taxi driver; Iggy Pop’s voice as a radio DJ; video from Survival Research Laboratories, Monty Cazzazza and Throbbing Gristle; and a soundtrack with Motorhead, Ministry and PIL.
