It should have ended an hour earlier or had a complete script rewrite at that point.

As it is, it's an awesome little cult flick I drag out every year or so, usually wedged somewhere between Toxic Avenger and Drunken Dragon.

Exactly! A clever idea mutilated into a "people getting chased by a thing" movie.

It was a product of its time.

Saw it in the theater as a kid because Darkman was sold out. Dig it out every 5 years or so, and it holds up for all its flaws.

The Carpenters?

A quick Google search reveals that it's probably Abba, because they're one of his favorite bands.

Speaking of Richard Stanley, I just recently saw Dust Devil for the first time and I must say it was pretty cool.

I got the fungus, too, you can usually save them but I didn't know until it was too late and I'd given away about 9/10 of my collection. Lab grade isopropyl, a lint-free swab of some kind (I use q tips wrapped in old cotton tee shirt scraps) and an old VCR will do it.

But Hardware's probably not worth the effort, I don't think it's very rare at all. In fact, I think you can stream it on Netflix right now.

It's on blu ray. I have it and the remastered print is fantastic.

Can't remember what extras it had, but it was a cult-release type of thing, not just some "hey, we're farting out old upscaled 720p transfers onto blu ray" thing that a lot of studios do.
