Another forgotten cult classic is getting the luxury special edition treatment, and this time it's none other than Richard Stanley's low-budget horror Hardware. The film boasts an interesting cameo by Lemmy and a music performance by none other than Iggy Pop. The new release comes in stunning 4K resolution and is packed with bonus features, including the script for the sequel that was never made. Below, you'll find the synopsis and a list of the extras. If you'd like to pre-order the film, you can do so here.
In the barren, radioactive wastelands of the future lies the discarded remains of a Mark 13 cyborg, an advanced military killing machine. When purchased as scrap by Space Trooper Mo as a gift for his sculptress girlfriend, the dismembered remains begin to reconstruct themselves. The fully restored exterminator embarks on a relentless killing spree, with Mo's girlfriend as its prime target.
