Hardware Wars

1978 13 min English NR

“You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll kiss three bucks goodbye.”

A short film parody of the classic science fiction film Star Wars. It premiered in theaters only seven months after Star Wars and consisted of little more than inside jokes and visual puns that heavily depended upon audience familiarity with the original.
