What better to celebrate the summer than with giant, futuristic, killer robots? Shout! Factory will release a “Giant Robot Action Pack” double feature with CRASH AND BURN and ROBOT WARS. Both sci-fi/action flicks were produced by Full Moon Entertainment. It doesn’t appear that there will be any special features on the release, but you can see the cover art below.
1990’s CRASH AND BURN is directed by Charles Band (PUPPET MASTER) and written by J.S. Cardone (PROM NIGHT). Paul Ganus, Megan Ward, Bill Moseley and Ralph Waite star. It’s the year 2030, and man’s worst nightmares have become an oppressive reality in Crash And Burn. Big Brother has come to life in the form of Unicom, an all-powerful conglomerate that emerged in the wake of a devastating global economic collapse. A group of dissenters has surfaced to fight Unicom’s autocracy and stop the murderous Synthoid—a humanlike robot programmed to kill all those who pose a threat to the organization.
1993’s ROBOT WARS is directed by Albert Band (GHOULIES II) and written by Jackson Barr (SUBSPECIES). Don Michael Paul, Barbara Crampton and Lisa Rinna star. The ultimate battle between metallic giants begins in Robot Wars when a malicious foreign dignitary hijacks the last mega-robot on Earth, the MRAS-2, and threatens to unleash its crushing powers against the people of the Eastern Alliance. There’s only one force magnificent enough to stop the MRAS-2 — a MEGA-1 robot hidden under the city. It’s up to a renegade pilot, his engineer and a brilliant archaeologist to revive the MEGA-1 and reestablish world peace.
