Back when I first saw this in 1978 on HBO, I thought this was hilarious. Hell, what did I know? I was just a kid and didn't know any better. Hardware Wars is basically a parody of Star Wars in a no-budget 12 minute flick. Yup, that's the entire run time. The quality of the movie is pretty bad, even for an amateur film. But they were going more for humor than actually replicating iconic scenes from the movie they were making fun of. So, how does this hold up all these years later? It's still pretty bad. But names like Auggie "Ben" Doggie and Ham Salad still gets me smiling more than anything else. If you have never seen this, I think you owe it to yourself to give it a shot. Rental at best.
