The MVD Rewind Collection is preparing a Blu-ray release of Ernie Fosselius’s Hardware Wars (1978). The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on February 20.
Descriptin: In 1978 writer / director Ernie Fosselius (former member of “The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo”) created the very first “Star Wars” parody, HARDWARE WARS. Complete with cardboard sets and visible wires (holding up ships which were various household appliances), the film was shot over four days with a budget of around $8,000. Now, nearly 50 years later, the original version of this classic short that George Lucas called his “favorite Star Wars parody” (in a 1999 interview on the UK’s The Big Breakfast TV show) has been restored in High Definition for a whole new generation of cult movie fans to discover!
