Funny story: the Robot Jox writers both admitted (despite their enormous creative differences) that having giant robots punching out Godzillas was a better idea than anything they came up with.
Yeah. Though Robot Jox it's because the air is poisoned from nuclear war. Lots of great touches in the movie regarding that. Sexing up pregnant women on posters to encourage breeding. "Real meat" in the dinner amounting to a single sausage in the broth. Great stuff.
@@OpenMawProductions I remember watching this back originally. Now the masks have resonance. Stop motion animation looks like it was made when it was. Looks fantastic as the retro fil it is. Luv and Peace.
If you go to 4:28 that's JEFFREY COMBS on the left...cheering me on... doing a little cameo for Stuart and myself. Ironically... years later, not only would I hire him to do a little internet pilot with Jace Hall... but in Enterprise... as Shran... he'd torture me as Ambassador Soval. Ahh... good times... :o lol
Adam Sternberg it had to compete with 'Goodfellas' in 1990. Any other reasonable year except for say 1994 with 'Jurassic Park', 'Shawshank Redemption' or 'Forest Gump', it would easily have been best picture.
this? Best picture?? To a panel of 10 year olds maybe...you at least have to have acting..in a movie! I would give it a technical award though, i still like the stop motion better than some modern CG
Love this movie! Yes very cheesy but come on it was the late 80's. This is the closest we'll ever get to a mechwarrior movie. This will always be one of my all time favorites. I do wish though they added more fights, like a few of Achilles previous wins :)
People think I'm crazy but this is actually one of my favorite movies not just a fun shitty B sci-fi to laugh at I actually get goosebumps during the fight scenes I think it has to do with the fact that I was born in 90 and started watching this every day after school in 93 I would love more than anything to see a high quality R rated remake of this film not some stupid ass Pacific (ass) Rim nonsense
Ditto, although I did like Pacific Rim. This film could be remade into a tense, semi-realistic war/sci-fi flick with an emphasis on the human psyche vs war and PTSD. Its already a running theme in this film, as Achilles is psyched out by this guy over this fight, let alone having to watch all the other pilots he knows fall prey to this guy already. He just wants to serve his contract and live his life, spend time with his loved ones. This Russian pilot was the most lethal of his time and for Achilles It was like facing the grim reaper, but by the end of the film he not only beats that fear, he finds out the other guy wanted the same thing as him all along.
Part One showed Hollywood’s limitations to adapt the source material IMHO. They had a massive green tank and in the theaters it called itself “Devastator” and even looked like the original Devastator from the source material, only not as big, and not a combiner. Bone Crusher, originally the name of one of Devastator’s leg components was turned from a bulldozer into a dump truck with a claw arm and had one of the better fight sequences in the film. Later on they renamed “Devastator” as “Brawl” for the home release, giving the name Devastator to a robot combiner that looked more like the monster from Cloverfield. That was in Revenge of The Fallen.
@@hagj30 Probably because that would be considered a ranged weapon (a really BIG missile) and thus illegal according to the rules of the fight. More than likely the rocket punch was intended to act as a pushing weapon- deployed at melee range to distract and knock the Market robot off of its feet. That's why it worked even though the referees had shut down all ranged weapons- it was not designed nor approved to be a ranged weapon. The way it was used here, however, may not have been how it was designed or intended to be used, thus it flew "out of control" because it had no steering motors.
What I never understood about this movie is they blame him for killing the spectators. Why not blame the guy that fired the hand? OR why blame him at all? They are sitting at the feet of giant fighting robots that keep getting knocked over.
He right the number of casualties could have been less but since he tried to rescue the people and failed he landed in the stands kill more people then what the hand would of..
Yes but I wish seeing a remake for 2017 or 2018 with the new technologies ! When I saw Pacific Rim, I told for myself : "Hollywood need to realize a remake of Robot Jox !"
The prequel to G Gundam!!! Looks like a a fight between Neo America and Neo Russia in the early days before Gundam robots replaced their bulkier clunkier models!
@@christianvega12341 Or, hear me out here: The existence of a theoretical remake does not cause the original to cease existing nor does it prevent you from watching and enjoying the original.

@aircraftcarrierwo-class Going to have to respectfully disagree with you there. Not all media is saved. I have a movie I loved, called Masterminds with Patrick Stewart, that never made it to dvd. But fortunately, this movie did!
Yep, the woman screaming. lol I recognized that sample the moment that album came out. Drove me nuts for some reason because I saw this movie way before I became a NIN fan.
Actually, this movie was pretty high-budget at around $10-million in 1989, and is probably the sole reason for Empire Pictures going bankrupt. Empire Pictures originally said no to making it, Charlies Band said it would be too expensive for Empire to make. Empire went bankrupt before the movie was even released. I guess they bit off more than they could chew?
yes and no. stopmotion makes it look cheap because its not running on the same frames per second level as human charackters. having real models acting is always better then cgi but the problem is getting them to move. stop motion lacks momentum, acceleration, deceleration and impact.
i'll tell you right now i remember watching this when i was a kid and its a pretty underrated movie, despite bad acting in spots, the fight scenes between the robots are excellent and the ending rocks...
Now that's what I called a motion capture giant robot fight! Oh boy I wish I could pilot a combination of all of these giant robots in this so-called movie called robot jox, and by piloting it I mean controlling it with motion capture
I was obsessed with this movie as a kid. I remember asking my parents for the toy version of the robots. Sadly that never happened because I don't think they actually made them. Geez i still remember the weird previews before the movie starts. Like that weird fighting movie with non humans and humans boxing each other.
Loved this movie since I saw it as a young one, but I never understood why the pilots react to hits like they can feel it. That'd be like stumbling on the top floor of a skyscraper because a car ran into the front door.
When I was a young boy, I have been seeing this film almost every day. I loved it! After film, I wear up my mom´s ski boots and start walking :D. Or take my hockey helm and going upstairs like Achilles went to his robot :D. Now, I discover this amazing film after years and I´m so glad, because I can be that young boy again! :)
my god, I've been looking for this movie everywhere but couldn't find it and I didn't know the name of it either. Thank you for uploading this. My childhood memory returns now.
This is a real underestimated classic! The father of giant robot fighting movies! I love this movie and wish they would make a 2! Maybe with Tom Cruise as the pilot?
I’m 33 and back at grandmas and grandpas house when I was 6 this movie was the first trailer on the vhs of Men At Work with Charlie sheen and Emilio Estevez.
Verhoeven is a damn good director. I don't see why he's the "obvious" choice but I did admire Robocop and even Starship Troopers had it's moments. With a decent budget for CGI and effects, a GOOD script, and good actor/cast this would be a good remake. I waited weeks for this to come out on VHS originally in the video store, loved the idea just not entirely thrilled on the execution.
I think everyone who grew up pre-Netflix has ay least one film they watched on TV as a child, immensely enjoyed but never knew the name of and therefore had a tough time finding it as an adult. Robot Jox is such a film for me.
I have as much pity for those people at the end of this clip, as I have for those who live right next to volcanoes, who live on top of where powerful earthquakes occur and those who think living next to the ocean was a great idea.
I think you'd be surprised how many people still live by volcanoes...there are about 1500 on Earth and you're talking about everyone who lives in Hawaii, California, etc. Hell, if Yellowstone ever blows it could cause mass extinction on a planetary basis...so where could you possibly live safely from all these elements? Wherever it is, I'm sure it's dull.
I remember running across the street as a kid to our small town video rental place renting this movie so much in the early 90s, great childhood times..
The Red Robot pretend to Cover the audience from Rocket punch Missile with his body.. But in the end, it just smashed the audience with it's Body.. Super FAIL Wkwkwk
Bruh...torch scene, seriously cool frame an effects there, love that style an so rare to see! Of course its a cheesy movie, but I love it, take it to heart and actually try to at times to sort of mode it in more modern theme, considering I've seen this movie hundreds of times. Awesome clip.
Let them have their day, I say. This was the shit that got me into giant robots before Power Rangers and Gundam, and I'm still pumped that we've got something new, big, and exciting to add to the legacy of giant mecha fiction. And while I've accepted CGI's monopoly on special effects in the modern era of cinema, I agree: STOP MOTION RULES
For those who don't know, this was originally written as a MechWarrior/Battletech movie. As a fan of the franchise, I can see elements of this that got left in. Honestly, the movie makes more sense knowing this.
This was not a Full Moon production. It was made for Charles Band's previous studio Empire Pictures back in the late 80s. It was their most expensive production to date and bankrupted the studio. Then Band went on to form Full Moon.
