But what's interesting is that this movie already contains quite a few elements that are worthy of being adopted by later movies. Think about it, huge robots, one-on-one duel-style battles, and the mental trajectory of middle-aged men. This is just like a steel fist—of course, these elements are not the first of this movie. Needless to say, things like apocalyptic elements, such a bad street, are just a cause of fighting.
In addition to the combination of boxing themes and machine combat animation elements in live-action movies, I am more inclined to think that this movie has been more influenced by Cavaliers literature. The film embodies the attitude towards women and the philosophy of war between the two parties in handling disputes. Until the last scene, the male number one and the male number two "throw their helmets and abandon their armor" and finally make peace, all with a wave of medieval knights fighting. character. If the background of the movie is turned back hundreds of years, and it is rewritten as the story of a legendary knight who re-emerges and saves the female protagonist who pretends to be a man from an enemy country, it can be considered quite satisfactory.
Because this film is one of the first science fiction movies I have seen, half of the scores are given to memories. The male protagonist was the mainstream image of the tough guy in that era, and the female protagonist was also quite heroic. Unfortunately, it has never been possible to create a star in such a movie.
PS. I just watched it again. It turns out that this movie had a sequel called Robot Wars in 1993. However, the director and the actors have been changed, and the story is not continued.
