After making DELIVERANCE John Boorman brought us this Sci-Fi film starring Sean Connery. The movie resists easy analysis which is to say we could argue about it for hours. Link in comments.

Robot Jox - 1990


There was a terrible conflict between the writer and the director of this film. And then a bankruptcy stalled the theatrical release for 3 years making the special effects antiquated. The result is unintentionally funny but hey - free giant robots. Link in comments.
