I have to get this out right away, the main protagonist was horribly miscast. If they were making a live action movie of the Simpsons then he would have been too busy playing Barney Gumble to play in Robot Wars. Now as for the actual movie. I am lead to believe by the VHS box that it's a sequel or at very least a spin off of the movie named "Robot Jox," a movie I vaguely remember watching on the space channel late at night a few years ago. Where in Robot Jox people were fighting with super awesome robots in an arena over territory, the somewhat counter- intuitively named Robot Wars is about peace time where all those awesome robots have been destroyed save for one now used for tours through the desert or something. Then the get some other robot and fight for a bit. I hate to rag on the main character more but seriously, half the movie he's drunk and acting like a drunken slob which may be reason to retract my previous statement about him being miscast. I don't want to spoil any of this cerebral story line but you can tell in the kiss at the end that the girl was all like "hmm you smell like cheep beer and bad hygiene"
I paid $.99 for the VHS tape and the only further value I will gain from it is having filler for the back of my VHS shelf so I don't have to keep a movie I might watch back there.
