**NEW TITLE ANNOUNCEMENT**

Our month-long "Shocktober" celebration continues with another film to reveal. We veer more into sci-fi territory this time: 1989’s ROBOT JOX (helmed by legendary From Beyond and Dolls Director Stuart Gordon) will make its debut on the Blu-ray format in Summer 2015! No other details to report at this time.

Quote:

Sometime far into the future international powers settle their differences in gigantic arenas where each nation sponsors an incredible robot gladiator. These gladiators duke it out to determine the distribution of world territories. This might be best appreciated by pre-teen video warfare fans.

Weird, I thought Fullmoon still had the rights.

ChristmasFnatic · 10-20-2014, 06:08 PM

Nice! Brings back memories...

Talzin78 · 10-20-2014, 06:09 PM

HELLS YEAH!!! The original Pacific Rim

HD Goofnut · 10-20-2014, 06:10 PM

I'll buy it, but I'm not paying more than $15. I had the VHS back in the day.

javi92 · 10-20-2014, 06:12 PM

Awesome! That's a blast from the past. Remember wearing this out on VHS.

MifuneFan · 10-20-2014, 06:13 PM

Never saw this one, but looks like cheesy fun from the trailer. I'm down

VanDammage80 · 10-20-2014, 06:13 PM

i love that all these movies from my childhood are coming out! Maybe, we'll get a release of Arena pretty soon.

I remember that movie but it's cheesy as hell. While a nice blast from the past, this is one film I couldn't stand to occupy a space in my library.

wooble89 · 10-20-2014, 07:17 PM

Never heard of it, but that poster + trailer = I'm in.

bigdaddyhorse · 10-20-2014, 07:27 PM

Torn.
Don't recall the movie even though I feel like I have seen it.
Love Gordon's stuff for the most part and want to have as much of his output as possible, but this looks too cheesy even for my cheese-loving self.
PG rating? I get 1989 PG was different than today, but still, PG? The rest of my collection would bully it to death I fear.

digideadus · 10-20-2014, 07:46 PM

Finally! A day one purchase for sure!

surfdude12 · 10-20-2014, 08:04 PM

I've only seen the adult version.
