WTH???!?!
Are we talking about the same movie here? That movie had one of the most horrible plots and acting I've ever seen!

I actually LIKED that movie when I was like two.

The setting and plot is awesome: After a devastating WWIII, the world is divided into two factions: The Communists and the Westerners or whatever. Instead of fighting long and costly wars, both sides decide to solve their disputes with battles using large mechs.

Too bad the execution was horrible. Bad, bad movie.

No, I saw it when it came out.

Just seeing if anyone remembers it.

I remember that Robot Wars went straight to video, and had the tagline "if you liked Robot Jox, you'll LOVE robot wars" or something like that.

I just remember that, randomly, the guy from Alien Nation blurted out "Ok, so WHAT if I never learned to read!!"

Great movie.

Here's a review from yahoo:

Postapocalyptic action-adventure ROBOT JOX is Stuart Gordon's entry into the short-lived subgenre of robot warrior movies established in the early 1990s. After a terrible and costly third world war, the countries of the planet have been divided into two main opposing sides: the Market (good) and the Confederation (bad). War has been outlawed on the planet, so disputes are settled by a single fight between two giant robot warriors piloted by men and women known as robot jox. Confederation robot jox Alexander has destroyed all of the Market's robot jox except one: Achilles. Once the best of the robot jox, Achilles has lost confidence in his ability because of an accident that cost the lives of hundreds of spectators at one of his bouts. He is the last hope for the Market and must win the day against Alexander, but first he must win the battle within himself. Giant robots duking it out in exotic landscapes just can't be bad, and it's not in ROBOT JOX, a special-effects-heavy science fiction epic in the mold of THE TERMINATOR and CRASH AND BURN. Gordon borrows from Japanese animation, translating it into live action very effectively. Another first-rate film from Stuart Gordon, ROBOT JOX is simply great sci-fi action.

Robot Wars was horrible. Worse than Robot Jox.

Johnny Sokko and his Flying Robot was better

 

[ShotgunSteven]

I still remember the one fight scene where the woman that was in the television show In The Heat Of The Night was supposed to be fighting Achilles. I think she was trying to knock him out or something. Anyway, if you watch the fight closely, you can see where they swapped a guy for her during the fight.
