Hardware (1990)
Comment:
If you like your sci fi quirky, this one’s for you. Not loved by the critics but a cult classic in some quarters, it is in the mould of the Bleak Vision of the Future movies (think Waterworld, Terminator, I Am Legend) and Post Nuclear Apocalypse movies (think Mad Max, The Road). Definitely not a movie to watch with the gf if you’re planning a big night. The soundtrack is memorable. A hard to get flick so worth buying on Amazon.
Synopsis:
A nomad collects junk in the post apocalypse, radioactive wasteland (“the zone”) of what was once Earth, to sell to a scrap metal dealer. Amongst the junk is the remains of a MARK 13 robot, which is able to self repair. It does so and becomes a killing machine.

(Alvy is a dwarf)
Moses Baxter: How much for the other stuff?
Alvy: Ten C's. That's as high as I go.
Moses Baxter: Yep, Alvy. You're as high as you're ever going to go.
[Mo hands the bills to Shades and they head for the door. Alvy sneers after them]
Alvy: Very funny. Can I help it if my mother picked up a dose in the big one?
Alvy: [calling after] You just wait. All those years out in the zone? Your kids'll make me look like Narcissus!

Mark 13 in the Bible reads: “No flesh hsall be spared.” (Mark 13:20).
