I rented the video of Hardware after seeing it in the video stores frequently and wondering what it was all about.
The reference in the tagline to "it exterminates" suggested that it worked off the Terminator concept. However - it was either low budget or uninspired writing, because after the initial (slow) set-up it ends up in an inevitable way with few interesting turns - and really, quite a silly resolution.
[It may not have helped that the version I saw on video (legitimate copy but weather-worn) seemed to contain the colours red and blue - but virtually nothing else. (I hope that isn't the case in the proper film or better videos).]
