Nineteen years ago I remember going to behold a slight film called Hardware and I remember HATING it because I felt deceived by the trailers that shamefully advertised this film as The Terminator meets The Road Warrior which being a immense fan of both of those classic sci-fi films was precisely what I was expecting to notice. What I got, and was completely unprepared for, was a pornographic visual nightmare filled with gratuitous violence and an incoherent region about some killer Terminator-esque combat droid found in the sands of a post-apocalyptic wasteland that’s transformed into an industrial art sculpture by some hot chick and I remember wanting to straggle out of the theater but felt compelled to at least collect my (then) six bucks worth before leaving the theater offended and I never looked aid… until now.

A few years later I picked up the Hardware soundtrack because I remembered it was the most memorable fraction of the film. I loved Simon Boswell’s haunting electronic earn and the unforgettable Public Image Slight song the Order of Death which echoes in your head with “This Is What You Want…This Is What You Net” lyrics ironically summarizing my initial reaction to the film perfectly. Around that time I happened to pick up Richard Stanley’s following film Dust Devil - The Final Nick which I really enjoyed with it’s sizable visuals and also featuring a terrific Simon Boswell glean.
When I saw that Hardware was released on Blu-ray I decided to give it another ogle. It’s improbable how the quality of blu-ray makes you revisit many films that you may not have otherwise particularly liked watching the first time around but I remembered the striking post-apocalyptic visuals and 80’s industrial music video style and having appreciated Richard Stanley’s succeeding films I knew he was a director with vision and made me determine to give it another chance. Upon watching it I had remembered the trusty moment that made me want to accept up and leave the theater when Jill’s perverted neighbor played by William Hootkins (yes that’s Porkins from Star Wars) starts singing the “wiberly-woberly ride” and I peaceful pick up his character shocking but that’s really the whole point. Stanley is intentionally creating a dissonant atmosphere showing the deconstruction of culture precipitated by dependency on technology, intrusive surveillance and the pervasiveness of mass media and invasion of privacy.

Watching it now I can relish the film’s socio-political undertones such as population control and the realization that this film was actually a few years ahead of its time anticipating the post-modern industrial motifs of Ministry. To the film’s credit, Richard Stanley’s stylized vision is what sets Hardware apart from the formulaic commercialized mainstream blockbusters of today and somehow manages not to date itself too noteworthy and remains a completely new independent film unlike anything I’ve really seen since.
Richard Stanley discusses his ideas slack the intended “Hardware 2: Ground Zero” script on the supplemental features that was written at the time of the first film but was never made due to legalities between studios that has prevented him from fully realizing his understanding on a grander scale. I actually found myself enthusiastic in seeing what Hardware 2 might gawk like made today with the latest advancements in special effects technology that would enable Richard to inaugurate up the canvas and let his ideas spill out onto the shroud. Watching the interview you can witness that Stanley is a very incandescent and articulated artist who knows what he is talking about and has a trusty notion and vision for his craft. There’s also an righteous hour-long documentary “No Flesh Shall Be Spared” produced exclusively for the blu-ray that features all original interviews that will execute you be pleased the film and the complications of working with visual effects pre-CGI along with deleted scenes, a German theatrical trailer and some of Stanley’s short films including “Incidents In An Expanding Universe” the Well-organized 8 genesis of Hardware.
Hardware is definitely not a film for everyone and if you you are looking for accessible sci-fi-/horror that’s easy to swallow you won’t find it here. On the surface Hardware is a visceral nightmare whose disturbing and offensive imagery is conveying ideas and themes far more complex than the average mainstream audiences are simply willing or grand of grasping and most will secure it a struggle to clarify the lines between self-indulgent art and purely cinematic entertainment.

I have been a fan of this movie from the first time I watched it years serve. if your into sci-fi this movie will accept high for you. The movie transfer to Hi-Def….I watched this movie via Blu-Ray in 1080i Video & 5.1 Audio,the visuals are outstanding for a older film fair a few minor film blemishes in the begin of the film but nothing to yowl about. The audio was tight & separation was flawless. Bottom line, A substantial transfer..A must have for any sci-fi movie buff.
