Viewing Notes
One of Dylan McDermott’s early roles was the 1990 horror/sci-fi flick Hardware. It’s kinda amazing that he ended up with a respectable career after that film. This isn’t to say that the film is bad but it’s hardly “good” and more along the lines of cult favorite.
The effects are rather amusing (Really? That’s the best killer robot they could create?) but the soundtrack is pretty great (not only is Ace of Spades featured but Lemmy is a taxi driver in this post-apocalyptic world). Nevertheless an entertaining B-movie.
