"Hardware is a 1990 British post-apocalyptic sci-fi horror film, featuring cameos by Iggy Pop as a radio announcer, Lemmy as an aquatic cab driver, and the singer of Fields Of The Nephilim as a desert scavenger. An example of the cyberpunk genre, the plot of Hardware follows a self-repairing robot that goes on a rampage in a loft apartment. Fleetway Comics successfully sued the filmmakers for plagiarism due to similarities between the screenplay and a short story entitled 'SHOK!' (illustrated by Kevin O'Neill) that appeared in the Judge Dredd 1981 annual, a spin-off publication of the popular British anthology comic '2000 AD'. Since its release, Hardware has become a cult film."
