Guest Great Maker ShaiHulud Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 http://www.amazon.com/Hardware-Blu-ray-Dylan-McDermott/dp/B002E2QHAE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1248806367&sr=8-1 It's listed on Amazon, but the title says blu ray as well as dvd. It also lists the format as NTSC. I hope they're not just upscaling the fucking DVD. I *think* it was shot on 35mm, so it deserves to actually be scanned in HD. If this is a real transfer it could be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyrex Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 LOL at the movie synopsis: Product DescriptionIt was the movie that stunned audiences, shocked the MPAA and marked the debut of one of the most uncompromising filmmakers in modern horror. Golden Globe® winner Dylan McDermott (The Practice, Dark Blue) stars as a post-apocalyptic scavenger who brings home a battered cyborg skull for his metal-sculptor girlfriend. But this steel scrap contains the brain of the M.A.R.K. 13, the military's most ferocious bio-mechanical combat droid. It is cunning, cruel, and knows how to reassemble itself. Tonight, it is rebornand no flesh shall be spared. Sounds like a Terminator ripoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Great Maker ShaiHulud Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 No, it's definitely not a terminator ripoff. To wit: The 21st century world is a radioactive wasteland as a result of a nuclear war. A travelling scavenger comes across the remains of a cyborg named Mark 13 in the desert, and salvages pieces of it. The cyborg head ends up with a metal sculptress, who is unaware of the cyborg's infamy as a governmental killing machine project that was scrapped due to its defects. Mark 13 reconstructs itself utilizing household appliances and metal parts, and goes amok. M.A.R.K. 13 is a prototype killer combat droid. Its name is a reference to the Gospel of Mark in the New Testament of the Bible, part of which reads "no flesh shall be spared". The robot, capable of reconstructing itself if damaged in combat, can augment and rebuild its body using any machinery and metal parts available nearby. It also comes equipped with an anti-personnel chemical weapon in the form of an injectable cytotoxin that causes sensory distortion (hallucination) before death. The ultimate purpose of this weapon is to allow the government to commit mass genocide of its own citizens to alleviate overpopulation. Its Achilles' heel is a faulty insulation system, highly sensitive to moisture and humidity. Although built for fighting in arid terrain, this huge flaw in the droid caused its governmental project funding to be initially suspended. At the end of the film it is revealed the Mark 13 will enter mass production. Advertised as The Terminator for the nineties, the film's soundtrack features music from Iggy Pop (who, although never seen in the movie, has a cameo role as the radio personality known as "Angry Bob"), Motörhead (whose lead singer, Lemmy, has a cameo as a taxi driver), Ministry and Public Image Limited. Carl McCoy, the vocalist from Fields of the Nephilim played the 'zone tripper' who brings the Mark 13 into human contact, and GWAR is featured in a music video, although the song playing at the time is "Stigmata" by Ministry. The film features excerpts from the film Salo directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini. Special effects were provided by Image Animation (Hellraiser, Highlander and Nightbreed).

Blir Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 This is more of a terminator ripoff, not entirely sure how it hasn't been completely destroyed by Cameron et al.'s legal department http://www.theasylum.cc/product.php?id=154 Holy Copyright Infringement, Batman! Are you fucking kidding me? Have you seen that production company's films!? They're a walking rip off machine! They've also got a film called Megashark VS Giant Octopus. Which is a fucking lol. Actually, I'd like to make films for this production house. I've had this great idea for a rip off of The Fly. It's called The Crab. It plays out pretty much exactly the same but here's the kicker... Instead of a fly - it's a crab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
