The year is 2003. Chaank Industries, ruthless world leaders in future weapons technology, hires a new Chief Executive, Hayden Cale. Cale soon uncovers a secret and unethical weapons project the company is involved in. Her first order of business is to shut it down. Her troubles just begin as she also tries to fire the company technological mastermind, Jack Dante—a childlike psychotic with a dark genius for exotic weapons design. Dante retaliates by unleashing into the corporate headquarters the Death Machine—the ultimate killing unit. A weapon that tracks its target by sensing fear and has the power to rip through walls with its hard steel strength and razor teeth. Cale must wage a desperate bloody battle with the terrifying force that has no mercy, no pity and no fear in this cutting-edge cyberpunk classic from filmmaker and SFX wizard Stephen Norrington (Blade, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen). Dante is played with oddball relish by Brad Dourif (Child’s Play, Spontaneous Combustion) in a cast featuring Ely Pouget (The Rift), William Hootkins (Star Wars, Hardware), John Sharian (The Machinist), Richard Brake (3 from Hell) and Rachel Weisz (The Mummy). This 2-disc special edition loaded with extras includes three cuts of the film, The 100-minute U.S. version, the 122-minute foreign version and newly created 106-minute director’s cut in 7.1 surround sound.

Good news. Didn't think it would happen but I like to be proven wrong.

I know there's some contro around Stanley but I from my understanding he's done what he could to clear his name. It's all kind of hazzy.
Just gotta appreciate the films.

Here's hoping Hardware finds a rightful home, this being Kino.

Hard to believe it's been 3 years since the Arrow releases were cancelled.

During the time that I would Netflix DVDs I remember getting this in the mail but I accidentally had the work print queued first. After returning it I found a different version in the mail and thought it was the same movie and disc. Taking a look at Netflix website I was about to tell them they accidentally sent me another copy then I realized it wasn't the same disc. I slapped my forehead thinking great, I watched the work print and now I have the actual movie in my hands. Watching the work print I was really angry that that was the one I chose. Then I realized that I ordered the actual movie, too. I didn't watch the new disc because I had just seen it. So maybe I will be able to watch the actual movie.

So this will be out in about 2 years. Nice. But honestly, I’m glad to see this get a release, and I hope Kino does it justice.

[DR Herbert West]

Should be out by the 35th anniversary.

[Rayjg]

Nah, Kino will get this one out fast. Hopefully faster than Stanley can get in trouble again

Seriously? Interesting, I've found Hardware interesting in concept, but very poor in execution whereas I love Dust Devil.

[DR Herbert West]

Most people prefer Hardware. I love them both.

If it isn't the final cut I'm skipping it. Still grateful I have the German LE.
It's a beautiful set with wonderful art, so it pulls on my illogical collector strings.
Can't even read German so the essays are pointless.

Ugh.

If you have a smartphone, you can use Google Translate to read it pretty easily. I used it myself to reread the booklet with my German copy of Dune 1984 a few weeks ago.

Seriously. Hardware's execution is its strongest asset. "It's not so much what's it's about, it's how it's about it." - Roger Ebert

Maybe I should give it another try, if this release materializes. However,... Where did you get that quote from? 🙂

How do you get that idea? "Dust Devil" has always been regarded as Stanley's best movie, e.g. it has an IMDB rating of 6.2, "Hardware" has a 5.9 rating.
