Hardware Wars

I laughed. I cried because I was laughing so hard. The 10 bucks I spent on the video were well worth it, and I willingly kissed them good-bye. This is the only top-notch Star Wars parody out there. Although it is nothing near a full-length feature film, this is yet to be topped comedy wise. The wookie monster will always make me laugh. The only thing is, I wish they didn't add those pathetic new digital features. Don't get me wrong; they didn't take away from the movie at all. They really didn't dit in with the rest of the film though. New effects or not, this is a worth-while movie. 10 out of 10.

Out of all the parodies of Star Wars I've seen, this is probably the funniest. Not because of the premise, Star Wars with simple electronics instead of spaceships, but because of how poorly acted it is. This is purposely overacted, and it makes it hilarious, and since everyone knows its purposely overacted, no one complains. The special effects were also purposely as awful as can be, and include a toaster on a visible string that shoots toast, and an egg beater on a string. This short is funny for any fan of Star Wars (which I'm not), or anyone that has 15 minutes to kill. Great short!!

My rating: *** out of ****. 13 mins. Not rated.

This movie had a whopping budget of only $8,000, and it shows.

The thing is, the director knew what he was doing, and made a very enjoyable movie.

Acting is corny, the set design came from a yard sale, and there is no real plot outside of spoofing Star Wars ... BUT it is an enjoyable movie to watch, and has a lot of humor.

It is hard not to chuckle at a guy wearing a welding hood, who's catch line is "Darth Nader, naughty person".

It is also interesting the movie is self aware, such as it's catch phrase "You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll kiss $3 good by"

Excellent example of a good movie, made with no budget!

I'm a big lover of underground, unpolished, gritty-style fare, and as far as I'm concerned, HARDWARE WARS and BUDGET LIQUOR are the two greatest short films ever made. hands down.

HARDWARE WARS, in addition to being a star wars parody, is a super-hip piece of Retro work-- check out all the crazy stock footage, the ancient Art Deco style props, the background tunes, cool little details like the fuzzy dice over the dashboard or the closeups of spedometers,and what you get is an homage to the coolness of yesteryear. (You can really tell that Fosselius is from Frisco)

Very good spoof! I highly recommend this to any Star Wars fan! This was one of the best low-budget films I have ever seen! I had to buy it when I saw it on sale!!

May The Farce Be With You!!!!
