Mechs and Barbara Crampton. What's not to like?

I believe this is the second part in a loosely connected trilogy - Robot Jox, Robot Wars, and Crash and Burn.

Set in a post apocalyptic world in which wars have been banned and territorial disputes between nations are settled via mech battles, Robot Jox is regarded as a minor B-movie cult classic.

Robot Wars and Crash and Burn are not held in the same regard as Jox but personally I adore the stop-motion special effects and miniatures. I appreciate the creativity, effort, and heart that went into some of these older low-budget movies.

I feel modern movies have lost a lot of their magic with their over reliance on CGI, with certain exceptions such as the spectacular Star Wars: Rogue One.

If you like post-apocalyptic settings, mechs, and B-movie Goddess Barbara Crampton, then I'm sure you'll dig this robotastic blast from the past.
