Check this video of a 1/6 scale RC Baneblade:

To put it into perspective, this is supposed to be about 15% larger than the 180 ton German Maus. Cool.

Surely we have had one of these by now?

Good call on the 'Chicken Walker'

He did indeed a role for which he was paid £100 and a bottle of Jack Daniels.

I've got Hardware on VHS here somewhere. Great film.

I THINK there was a hint they'd actually pinched the idea from 2000AD....can't recall.

Ah yes, just did a google for it:

"There's no flattery like imitation, so they say. Ground breaking sci fi comic 2000AD didn't think so when Hardware was released, and the film's makers got in a whole heap of trouble for allegedly stealing the entire plot from a 7-page comic strip first printed over a decade before the film came out"

Here's the 2000AD strip out 10 years before the film: http://www.britishhorrorfilms.co.uk/shok1.shtml

I do remember that Carl McCoy, lead singer from Fields Of The Nephilim, was the wandering guy that found the robot head in the first place....
