Hardware Wars and Other Film Farces Movie Review

Indie filmmaker/actor Ernie Fosselius created one of most successful short subjects ever with his 1977 parody of Star Wars starring a vacuum cleaner as R2D2, an “Oz”-style tin man as C3PO, and a general emphasis on common household appliances for Lucasfilm-scale starships and special effects. The homemade effort packs more laughs than Space-balls into a fraction of the running time. This tape compilation also includes Fosselius’ Apocalypse Now spoof centered on a deli, Porklips Now; the self-explanatory Closet Cases of the Nerd Kind; and Marv Newland's infamous cartoon snippet Bambi Meets Godzilla.
