Nineteen years ago I remember going to survey a diminutive film called Hardware and I remember HATING it because I felt deceived by the trailers that shamefully advertised this film as The Terminator meets The Road Warrior which being a tall fan of both of those classic sci-fi films was precisely what I was expecting to examine. What I got, and was completely unprepared for, was a pornographic visual nightmare filled with gratuitous violence and an incoherent station about some killer Terminator-esque combat droid found in the sands of a post-apocalyptic wasteland that’s transformed into an industrial art sculpture by some hot chick and I remember wanting to mosey out of the theater but felt compelled to at least secure my (then) six bucks worth before leaving the theater offended and I never looked wait on… until now.

A few years later I picked up the Hardware soundtrack because I remembered it was the most memorable allotment of the film. I loved Simon Boswell’s haunting electronic catch and the unforgettable Public Image Little song the Order of Death which echoes in your head with “This Is What You Want…This Is What You Accumulate” lyrics ironically summarizing my initial reaction to the film perfectly. Around that time I happened to secure Richard Stanley’s following film Dust Devil – The Final Crop which I really enjoyed with it’s broad visuals and also featuring a terrific Simon Boswell earn.
When I saw that Hardware was released on Blu-ray I decided to give it another recognize. It’s astounding how the quality of blu-ray makes you revisit many films that you may not have otherwise particularly liked watching the first time around but I remembered the striking post-apocalyptic visuals and 80′s industrial music video style and having appreciated Richard Stanley’s succeeding films I knew he was a director with vision and made me settle to give it another chance. Upon watching it I had remembered the dependable moment that made me want to gather up and leave the theater when Jill’s perverted neighbor played by William Hootkins (yes that’s Porkins from Star Wars) starts singing the “wiberly-woberly coast” and I quiet gather his character homely but that’s really the whole point. Stanley is intentionally creating a dissonant atmosphere showing the deconstruction of culture precipitated by dependency on technology, intrusive surveillance and the pervasiveness of mass media and invasion of privacy.

Watching it now I can savor the film’s socio-political undertones such as population control and the realization that this film was actually a few years ahead of its time anticipating the post-modern industrial motifs of Ministry. To the film’s credit, Richard Stanley’s stylized vision is what sets Hardware apart from the formulaic commercialized mainstream blockbusters of today and somehow manages not to date itself too distinguished and remains a completely current independent film unlike anything I’ve really seen since.
Richard Stanley discusses his ideas late the intended “Hardware 2: Ground Zero” script on the supplemental features that was written at the time of the first film but was never made due to legalities between studios that has prevented him from fully realizing his view on a grander scale. I actually found myself enthusiastic in seeing what Hardware 2 might scrutinize like made today with the latest advancements in special effects technology that would enable Richard to originate up the canvas and let his ideas spill out onto the cloak. Watching the interview you can recognize that Stanley is a very shining and articulated artist who knows what he is talking about and has a staunch notion and vision for his craft. There’s also an great hour-long documentary “No Flesh Shall Be Spared” produced exclusively for the blu-ray that features all novel interviews that will manufacture you enjoy the film and the complications of working with visual effects pre-CGI along with deleted scenes, a German theatrical trailer and some of Stanley’s short films including “Incidents In An Expanding Universe” the Smart 8 genesis of Hardware.
Hardware is definitely not a film for everyone and if you you are looking for accessible sci-fi-/horror that’s easy to swallow you won’t gather it here. On the surface Hardware is a visceral nightmare whose disturbing and offensive imagery is conveying ideas and themes far more complex than the average mainstream audiences are simply willing or satisfactory of grasping and most will gain it a struggle to explain the lines between self-indulgent art and purely cinematic entertainment.
